Reflective Roof Coatings

Reflective roof coatings present an opportunity for us to reduce the amount of energy we consume cooling our homes and businesses. Reflective roof coatings act like mirrors, reflecting the sun's radiant energy back into space. To rate the level of reflectiveness of different products, manufacturers have come up with a classifying system. High-albedo products such as bright-white paint are the most effective, with a solar reflectance of 85%. If cost is a consideration, white titanium dioxide paint is the best choice. It is inexpensive and easy to apply. Because roof coatings tend to lose their reflectance properties over time due to dust and mildew, regular maintenance, in the form of cleaning and reapplication is a must. Reflective coatings may be particularly suitable in existing residences where the roof structure makes it difficult to add insulation. New space age technologies such as the addition of ceramic micro balls to paint are offering improved insulating properties and unforeseen alternatives to conventional roof coatings. We are ready to consult or assist you in maintaining a clean and reflective coat of paint on your roof .	Back to Menu Submit Request for Quote
