For those who are environmentally conscious, roof coatings may be a way you can utilize sustainability in your buildings.

Aside from the obvious benefits of cost savings and minimal disruption that comes with using roof coatings many people don’t realize that roof coatings provide so many environmental benefits. These include:

Energy Efficiency

You could significantly reduce your energy consumptions by adding a reflective roof coating on the surface of your commercial roof. We have seen several clients save up to 70% on their energy bill simply by having us coat their roof with a white top coat.

The sun naturally is drawn to darker surfaces and absorbs much more heat, therefore, heating up the inside of the building below. A simple reflective coating could pay itself off by reducing your need for A/C throughout the Summer.

Sustainable Materials and Disposal

Roof coatings are often manufactured from post-consumer recycled content including items such as tires, plastics, asphalt, and more. Additionally, roof coatings (over re-roof) incur less waste and therefore reducing the amount of roofing material disposed into landfills. Plus, many of the roof coatings we offer are industrial grade yet non-toxic.

Summary

For those looking to reduce their carbon footprint, roof coatings may just be another extension of living out your values. And while we didn’t set out to be an “environmentally conscious” company, we’re realizing more and more the important of everyone doing their part.
