Membranes Are Not The Only Cool Roof Available!

When we think of “cool roofs” we often think of the TPO membrane roof because of it’s bright white color. However, the typical membrane roof is not the only game in town. Did you know that there are many colors of metal roofing that also qualify as “cool” roofing?

Florida Power and Light conducted a study on roofs and electric bills a couple of years ago. While the study confirmed long held beliefs that the whiter, and therefore, more reflective the roof, the lower the electric bill. The surprising fact that came out of the study was that, “white, galvanized metal roofing material saves the most energy as a result of its high reflectance and superior ability to cool quickly at night.”

But, there is even more good news, white is no longer the only approved “cool” color when it comes to metal roofing. In fact there are dozens of approved “cool” colors in metal roofing, so you do not have to give up the look you want to get the energy savings you need.
