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 . |
