Cool Roof – White Reflective Coating

The Conklin White Reflective, “Cool Roof” Coatings that Troyer Commercial Roofing offer, restores, protects, and extends the useful life of your roof. These include concrete, polyurethane foam, single ply membrane, EPDM, and metal roofing systems. Conklin Roofing Systems also meet EPA’s strict EnergyStar guidelines and building codes for cool roofs. Plus, we can give your building a cool roof without having to tear off or replace your existing roofing system. This applies even if it is an older or aging roof.

Cool Roof Coatings Keep Your Building Cooler

Studies conducted by the EPA have shown that cool roofs can reduce solar heat absorption by up to 40%. However, not all cool roofs reflect the same level of heat. Conklin’s acrylic elastomeric coatings are among the highest when it comes to thermal emittance – the ability to reflect solar radiation. Based on the Solar Reflectance Index (SRI) developed by the Berkeley National Laboratory, our cool roof coatings have an SRI of 107, compared to an SRI of 55 and 3, for aluminized layer and black asphalt, respectively. Coatings with a higher SRI reflect more solar radiation and have a cooler surface. Since our cool roof coatings outperform other reflective materials by 50% or more, that means lower energy costs and cooler facilities for agricultural, industrial, manufacturing, and other commercial buildings.

Improve Employee Comfort

The warm and sunny climate we experience here in Sarasota, Florida, can affect working conditions for employees. This occurs in warehouses, industrial facilities, and other commercial buildings, particularly during the summer when humidity is highest. Our white, solar reflective, cool roof coatings not only significantly reduce your building’s roof surface temperature, but also lower the interior temperature improving overall health and comfort for employees. Its solar reflective properties lower indoor temperatures 50°F to 80°F, far surpassing the performance of other reflective roofing materials.

Cool Roof Lowers Energy Costs

Summertime temperatures in the Sarasota-Bradenton area average around 92°F, but when you factor in the humidity, the heat index makes it feel more like 98°F. Whether your building has asphalt, concrete, metal, or other roofing systems, its exterior surface temperature can easily reach over 150°F. That substantially increases the temperature in and around the facility due to the heat island effect. However, our acrylic elastomeric cool roof coatings will significantly lower exterior and interior temperatures throughout your building. In addition, our spray polyurethane foam (SPF) and single-ply membrane roofing systems feature an insulation layer that will also help keep your building warmer in the winter for year-round energy savings.

Reduce Carbon Emissions

A cool roof helps improve the environment around your building too. According to the EPA, electricity consumption contributes to 82% of carbon emissions. However, a 2012 study conducted by the National Resources Defense Council (NRDC) found that the solar reflective properties of cool roofs can help reduce energy consumption and decrease the carbon footprint, improving air quality around the building and reducing the heat island effect.

Prolongs Roof’s Useful Life

Our white reflective, cool roof coating reflects most solar radiation other roofing systems such as asphalt, concrete, and metal absorb. This helps to reduce the damaging effects of the sun’s UV rays, prolonging the useful life of your roofing system.

Less Maintenance and Repair Costs

While conventional roofing systems require periodic maintenance and repair costs, our cool roof coatings are low maintenance. The necessary maintenance is only a periodic recoating every few years, to maintain its strength and durability. Each white reflective recoating layer can extend the life of your roofing system for decades. This is also achieved without significantly increasing the building’s load.

Eliminates Need for Roof Replacement

Our flexible, lightweight, cool roof coatings are applied directly to your existing roof, eliminating the need for costly tear-offs and replacements that conventional roofing systems typically require. Troyer Commercial Roofing can give your commercial operation all the energy savings and other benefits that a cool roof offers without the cost, hassle, and waiting for conventional roofing materials. Plus, its advanced leak, moisture, and fire protection improve building safety.
