Reflective surfaces are a form of geoengineering.
Most refective roof.
The most well known type of reflective surface is the cool roof.
Products are available for most roof types.
The attic under the roof.
The most effective energy saving finish for metal roofing is commonly referred to as cool metal roofing.
What you decide on here can make a huge difference.
Reflective coatings come in white a variety of darker colors and in high reflection coatings.
The most important decision you re going to make when shopping for cool roof coatings is the color.
White coatings are by far the most effective and.
Reflective surfaces can deliver high solar reflectance the ability to reflect the visible infrared and ultraviolet wavelengths of the sun reducing heat transfer to the surface and high thermal emittance the ability to radiate absorbed or non reflected solar energy.
Energy star certified roof products can help reduce the amount of air conditioning needed in buildings and can reduce peak cooling demand by 10 15 percent.
Cool roof coatings are white or special reflective pigments that reflect sunlight.
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.
Energy star certified roof products reflect more of the sun s rays.
This can lower roof surface temperature by up to 50f decreasing the amount of heat transferred into a building.
