We’ve talked previously about how roof coatings are generally cheaper than a traditional re-roof, with some of our clients saving up to 70% compared to other bids they received from other commercial roofers in Omaha.

But we wanted to better explain the reduced costs you will continue to benefit from having a roof coating and why it’s genuinely the lowest lifecycle cost of any roofing product.

Let’s talk about how your roof coating will keep “paying” for itself throughout its life expectancy. Here are the benefits to your building, operations, HVAC systems, and more through roof coatings.

Reduced Costs Through Solar Reflectivity

Most traditional roofs are dark-colored and absorb substantial heat and solar radiation. This leads to a heat transference into your building and thus increasing your cooling costs. In contrast, the chemical makeup of roof coatings includes highly reflective material or a high Solar Reflectance Index (SRI), with some roof coatings reflecting up to 80% of the sun’s solar energy away from your roofing surface.

Lower Cooling Loads

With a better roofing surface, your building’s air conditioners or HVAC units are not working overtime. It doesn’t work as hard, so you prolong these units’ life, all while saving on your energy bill. Additionally, by reducing the cooling load and the need for intensive air conditioning during peak hours, roof coatings can help alleviate stress on the power grid and reduce the risk of blackouts.

Summary

Overall, the energy savings achieved through roof coatings can significantly reduce a building’s energy consumption and expense. It pays to pick a commercial roofing company in Omaha that is experienced in installing coatings- call Armour Roof Co. today for a free roof assessment at (402) 289-7869.
