According to the Roof Coatings Manufacturers Association, reflective roof coatings provide multiple benefits, especially for flat-roofed commercial or industrial buildings. Roof coatings are acrylic membranes that can be applied to new or old roofing. The coatings with the most reflective properties are white in color and provide the following benefits:

• Water-shedding abilities that keep building interiors dry

• Reduced cooling costs

• Prolonged roof system life cycle by reducing “thermal shock” caused by large fluctuations in roof temperature

How Can Reflective Roof Coatings Reduce Air Conditioning Bills?

Because the coating works to reflect the solar rays away from the roof’s surface, it does not become as hot. This directly translates to less heat reaching your building’s interior and, therefore, less cost to cool your building.

Additionally, higher temperatures can reduce an A/C unit’s efficient operation. Especially affected are rooftop A/C units that are exposed to direct sunlight. Lower rooftop temperatures can help these units stay cooler and run more efficiently.
