Reflective Roof Coatings Improve Efficiency

White coatings are by far the most effective and reflect anywhere from 50 to 90 of the sunlight and heat that hit your roof.

Reflective roof coatings improve efficiency.

Reflective roof coatings are the fastest growing product segment in the fluid applied roofing market. Highly reflective coatings which most often resemble a paintable aluminum coating come in second with reflectance levels in the 60 to 70 range. Liquid roof coating is applied between layers of reinforced polyester fabric. Coatings are like very thick paints that can protect the roof surface from ultra violet uv light and chemical damage and some offer water protection and restorative features.

Products are available for most roof types. This color is the key to its energy efficiency. The coating can go on using a roller or as a spray for large areas. They also do a lot more.

Cool roof coatings are white or special reflective pigments that reflect sunlight. Western colloid s reflective coatings can reflect anywhere between 76 and 84 of the sun s rays drastically reducing the heat load on your building. Choose the right reflective coating for your building. Cool roof coatings lower energy consumption as well as meet more stringent cool roof performance requirements in the building codes.

Typically reflective coatings are white. Reflectance in relation to metal roofing refers to uv and infrared light rays being reflected from the roof surface. They restore protect and beautify most waterproofing systems and prolong the life of almost any low slope. This color is the key to its energy efficiency.

A highly reflective and highly emissive painted or granular coated metal roof is optimal for reducing energy consumption and can actually re emit up to 90 of absorbed solar radiation. Reflective roof coatings are typically installed as part of a fluid applied reinforced roof farr system.
