Cool roof coatings are white or special reflective pigments that reflect sunlight.
Reflective roof membrane.
Our sftv range will help prevent your rafters being exposed to moisture which could lead to bigger issues such as rot.
Scientists are looking at the larger picture such as the critical components beneath a roofing membrane that are vital to the performance of any roofing system.
White thermoplastic membrane roofs pvc and tpo are inherently reflective achieving some of the highest reflectance and emittance measurements of which roofing materials are capable.
Products are available for most roof types.
Converting from a dark to a mid reflectance roof e g.
Reflective roofs are cooler than darker non reflective membranes so maybe condensation under the membrane doesn t dry out during summer months.
Research now incorporates this feedback from the field and is being designed to answer emerging questions about the use of reflective roofing especially in cooler climates.
A reflective roof membrane has the capability to reflect the sun s uv and infrared rays away from the building allowing the roof temperature to increase only by 12 o f which is much lower than the 78 o f increase from the traditional black roof.
Sikaplan is a cost competitive single ply pvc roofing membrane designed for low slope roofing applications.
Do reflective roofs lead to moisture build up.
Let s look at the arguments.
Solar reflective shingles and solar reflective roofing membranes can be an important component in a building system designed to reduce overall building energy consumption and the impact the home or building has on the environment.
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.
With a lower temperature increase of the cooler roof is a reduced heat transferred to the insides of the building.
You can even use both products together to create the perfect solution against condensation within your home.
White highly reflective roof membranes and coatings have been proven to save building owners thousands of dollars annually on their energy costs.
Comparing modeled energy costs for a white highly reflective roof membrane such as gaf everguard tpo versus those for a dark absorptive membrane such as epdm the following annual savings are projected for the 125 000 sq ft.
Roof both of our reflective membrane ranges are suitable for use in flat roof and pitched roof applications.
