How Does Cool Roof Coating Work?

Just like you protect your body with sunscreen lotion or cream to shield yourself from UV rays, coating your roof in reflective materials protects it from the same sunlight. This special white paint reflects a larger amount of the sun’s rays than usual roofing materials, helping to decrease the temperature within your home.

Benefits of Cool Roof Paint

1. Protection from Harsh Sun

Cool roof paints are light colored, designed to reflect the harmful ultraviolet radiation and infrared rays away from your roof. So, your roof will be less prone to premature aging and watering.

2. Maintain a Cooler Temperature

Because it reflects the UV rays away from the roof, your home absorbs only a small fraction of the heat; keeping the overall inner temperature more comfortable.

3. Reduce Energy Consumption and Cost

This type of paint allows home energy demands to be lessened by up to 50%. This is possible because less electricity is used to power your AC, which in turn reduces electricity bills and saves you money.

4. Lower Maintenance Expenses

A cool roof coating system decelerates the deterioration of roofing materials. As a result, it adds years onto your roof’s lifespan. This roofing paint provides added UV protection, durability, and sustainability to the roof’s surface, allowing the roof to protect you and your beloved for longer.

5. Help the Environment

By decreasing your energy use, you lower some associated greenhouse gases produced during the electricity production process while also reducing air pollution caused by the heat island effect.

In sum, by treating your roof with heat reflective roof paint, your home will remain cooler during the hottest days of the year. This means that you and your family will feel more comfortable without having to spend a fortune on electricity running the A/C system.
