Reflective Roof Coatings Improve Efficiency

Reflective roof coatings are the fastest growing product segment in the fluid applied roofing market.

Reflective roof coatings improve efficiency.

Choose the right reflective coating for your building. 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. Highly reflective coatings which most often resemble a paintable aluminum coating come in second with reflectance levels in the 60 to 70 range. The coating can go on using a roller or as a spray for large areas.

Typically reflective coatings are white. Products are available for most roof types. Cool roof coatings are white or special reflective pigments that reflect sunlight. They restore protect and beautify most waterproofing systems and prolong the life of almost any low slope.

Reflectance in relation to metal roofing refers to uv and infrared light rays being reflected from the roof surface. Liquid roof coating is applied between layers of reinforced polyester fabric. This color is the key to its energy efficiency. This color is the key to its energy efficiency.

Cool roof coatings lower energy consumption as well as meet more stringent cool roof performance requirements in the building codes. The coating can go on using a roller or as a spray for large areas. Reflective roof coatings are typically installed as part of a fluid applied reinforced roof farr system. White coatings reflect rather than absorb heat and uv rays.

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