What is a white roof coating?
A white coating consists of a polymeric binder blended with pigments and other additives to provide two main benefits: 1) Protection of roof membranes, for longer roof cycles; and 2) reflectivity of solar radiation, for lower air conditioning costs.
Why choose a white roof coating?
White roof coatings are applied on a variety of roof substrates or membranes for a variety of reasons. For example, white roof coatings provide protection against water, chemicals, or physical damage. Additionally, white roof coatings protect a roof against excessive temperatures and UV radiation by reflecting visible light and stopping ultraviolet radiation.
What are the benefits of white coatings?
1) The ability to help shed water and keep interiors dry. 2) The ability to help reduce cooling costs for buildings with A/C units, and to help reduce interior temperatures on buildings with no cooling units. 3) The ability to protect and prolong the roof system life cycle by reducing the “thermal shock” stress associated with large temperature changes.
What types of roofs can be coated with white roof coatings?
White coatings can be applied to practically any roofing surfaces. They are commonly applied to cap sheet, low slope type roof coverings. They can also be applied to metal roofs, single-ply rubber roofs and modified bitumen roofs.
Should a brand new roof also be coated?
All compatible new roofs have the option of applying a white roof coating in order to gain the benefits previously mentioned.
