Why Cool White Roof Coatings Benefit Your Commercial Roof

10 Benefits of White Roof Coatings or Cool Roofs

With warmer weather approaching, now is the time to have your commercial roof inspected and to consider applying a white silicone or acrylic coating to create a cool roof. Not only will this save you money on utility bills, it will extend the life span of your roof.

White roof coatings have many benefits. For one, a cool roof absorbs less of the sunrays and works as a reflective surface. Over sixty percent of the sun’s rays are reflected back into the atmosphere.

What is a Cool Roof?

A cool roof typically denotes a roofing product that has a high solar reflectance, which has the ability to reflect infrared and ultraviolet wavelengths of the sun. A cool roof can lower cooling costs of a building as much as twenty percent.

Tropical locations, such as Santorini, stand out with the entire coastal view of white roofs. Groupings of white roofs lessen the burden on the electrical grid and keep their region cooler than if they used traditional black or tar roofs.

Because reflective roofs stay cooler in the sun, they lessen the amount of heat flow to the region and the atmosphere.

When the sun beats down on a black membrane or gravel roof, the heat absorption taxes your roofing system and shortens its lifespan. So if you are considering upgrading your commercial roof to a cool roofing system, check out the many benefits below.

A Rubber or Asphalt Roof Restoration is a three-coat process

Before a roof is coated, a thorough pressure washing of the entire surface of the roof to remove all contaminants is required in order to allow for the best coating adhesion. Then any weak areas need repaired and all seams need to be reinforced. This includes vents, flashing, any mechanical equipment or access panels.

  1. Cover the entire roof with a gray base coating
  2. Apply the first cool white coating over the gray base coating
  3. Completing the process by applying the third and final cool white coating creating a seamless membrane over the entire roof surface

A Metal Roof Restoration is a two-coat process:

Before a roof is coated, a thorough check of every fastener for tightness is required. Then a full pressure washing the roof to remove all contaminants and allow for the best coating adhesion is needed. Finally, weak areas are repaired, plus any rust  is removed and primed.

2 Coat Process for Metal Roofs:

5 Ways to Winterize a Commercial Roof

Preparing a commercial roof for ice, snow and freezing temperatures is a great way to protect your building. With cold weather on the horizon, we thought sharing some tips on how to winterize a commercial roof might be a timely subject.

Winter is a bad time to deal with a faulty roof. Take care of your roof now to minimize damage from winter’s extreme weather makes a world of sense. Commercial roofs take a beating all year round, but when it comes time to hunker down for winter, it is important to have your roof in mint condition.

5 Ways to Winterize a Commercial Roof

5 Ways to Winterize a Commercial Roof:

  1. Start with an Inspection of the Roof: Stopping an issue begins with having a professional roofer doing a full inspection to look for any potential damage. They will know what to look for and identify any weak spots on your commercial roof.
  2. Inspect Caulking:  Caulking is effective, yet doesn’t last forever. It will eventually wear out and need replacing. Signs of faulty caulking is wrinkled, crumbled or missing entirely. Re-caulk vulnerable areas as soon as possible.
  3. Look at Flashing: Flashing protects certain roof features such as skylights, chimneys, dormer windows, vents and HVAC units. Make sure flashing is installed and working properly. Replace any damaged, loose or missing flashing.
  4. Clean and Repair Gutters: Check gutters for weak spots and damage. Repair and replace any faulty gutters or downspouts immediately.  Blocked gutters can’t drain properly. This can cause backups, allowing water to seep through to the interior of a building causing extensive damage. Clean gutters prevents ice dams from severely damaging your gutters and roof.
  5. Check for any Damage from Pests: This is the time of year pests, such as rodents, squirrels and insects seek a warm shelter inside. Often, these pests go unnoticed until major damage is done. If you do find signs of a nest or a gnawed entry, call a professional for removal.

Keep in mind that the better job you do protecting your roof and preforming regular maintenance, the longer lifespan your commercial roof will have. Another very viable option to prolong the life of your roof is to apply a roof coating. If you are interested in finding out more about that, check out these previous articles:
