cool roofing light colors reflective solar

Cool roofs are structures that have been designed to reflect more solar radiation and to absorb less heat than conventional roofs, the special structures offering several further benefits, such as cooler air around the building, reduced energy costs and more durability for the  entire roof structure. There are many ways to get a cool roof or to enhance the reflective properties of your existing roof – here are some:

  • Paint it to a light hue – we all know that light colors reflect heat, while darker hues absorb it. The rule applies to roofs, too – light-colored roofs, such as the ones covered in cream-colored, light blue, pastel green or white materials maintain lower temperatures even when the sun shines really strong. To get a lighter hue on your roof, you only need to find the right type of coating – there are many products suitable for changing the color of existing roofs;
  • Use reflective materials – asphalt shingles, clay and cement tiles and metals are the most common materials for cool roofs that feature one or multiple slopes, while BUR, polyurethane, modified bitumen membranes and single-ply membranes are the most common cool roofing materials for flat structures, all of them in light colors, of course.  When it comes to cool roofing Aurora CO homes the light colors are in style.
