What Is the Reflective Roof Coating?

 Cool roof coatings have higher reflecting properties. That is why people are leaning towards these types of coatings to reduce the air conditioner needs. Elastomeric coatings have gained high reputation in order to reduce energy cost and for their reflecting properties. 

Elastomeric Cool Roof Coating picks up the dirt easily due to their tacky nature. Anti soiling is the prime parameter to be able to utilize properly the reflecting properties of the cool roof coating.  You must ensure the coating adheres firmly with the roof surface. It should be able to expand and contract with changing temperature in order to seal and waterproof the roof. The adhesive should be of good quality so that the quality of elasticity and flexibility of the coating is not compromised. 

A cool roof can limit the sun ray’s absorption and releases the heat back into the temperature. In warm weather you get a more cool and controlled indoor environment. While selecting the roof you must use the solar reflectance index to measure the substances of the reflective roof. By this you can measure the roof’s overall capacity to escape the solar heat. The higher the SRI value the more the roof is capable of remaining cooler. White roofs are always higher on SRI. Dark roofs don’t have a good SRI. There are many  different white roof coatings available in the market. A liquid applied coating having acrylic elastomeric polymer technology with white reflective pigments are mostly used by the roofing contractors. White roofing is also a good idea for energy conservation. The binders, additives and the pigments used by the Top Roof Coating Contractors in Spring TX determine the cooling properties and the life span of the roof. If you are planning for a roof coating go for a Reflective Roof Coating to keep your building cool in warm weather.
