Cool Roof Coatings - Texas Flat Roof Company
Cool Roof Coatings Systems
Your roofing is the first, and primary, line of defense between your building and the weather outside. A big part of that defense is keeping the heat and ultraviolet radiation the beats down on your building during the summertime outside where it belongs. Energy Star Cool Roof Coating products reduce the amount of air conditioning needed to keep a building cool and lower overall energy bills by as much as 50%. The Department of Energy’s Cool Roof Program is aimed at reducing America’s energy usage and defines standards for a wide range of properties that a product must conform to in order to receive the Energy Star seal of approval. These standards include:
- Solar Reflectance
- 3-Year Aged Maintenance of:
– Reflectivity – Amount of sun’s heat kept off a building.
– Emissivity – Amount of sun’s heat let out of a building.
Cool Roof Coatings are usually light in color to facilitate reflecting the sun’s rays. Research and strenuous testing has shown, without fail, that lighter colored roof coatings can lower the temperature of your roofing by up to 100° Fahrenheit. The most common coatings used in tandem with sprayed polyurethane foam (SPF) and other roof deck surfaces are white in color and come in the following types:
- Acrylic
- Silicone
- Urethanes
- Polyurea
