Cool roofs reflect sunlight instead of absorbing it, keeping rooftop temperatures 50–90 degrees cooler than conventional dark membranes. That difference translates directly into reduced air conditioning costs and extended membrane life.
White TPO and PVC single-ply membranes have solar reflectance values of 0.70 or higher — reflecting the majority of incoming solar radiation rather than converting it to heat.
Acrylic and silicone cool roof coatings can be applied over existing BUR, modified bitumen, or metal roofs to convert them to cool roof performance without full tear-off.
We install ENERGY STAR certified cool roofing products that may qualify for utility rebates and contribute to LEED certification credits for commercial buildings.
A conventional dark roof on a commercial building can reach 150–190 degrees Fahrenheit on a summer day in NJ. A cool roof under the same conditions might reach 100–110 degrees. That 60–80 degree difference means your HVAC system works dramatically less — reducing peak demand charges and extending equipment life.
