Summer Seal Cool roof coatings help reduce electricity bills by reflecting more sunlight and absorbing less heat than standard roofing materials. Here’s how they work:

1. Reflecting Solar Radiation

• Traditional roofs absorb a lot of heat from the sun, increasing indoor temperatures.
• Cool roof coatings, often white or reflective, bounce back sunlight and reduce heat absorption.

2. Lowering Indoor Temperatures

• By reducing heat absorption, cool roofs keep indoor spaces cooler.
• This means less reliance on air conditioning, leading to lower energy consumption.

3. Reducing Air Conditioning Costs

• With lower indoor temperatures, AC units don’t have to work as hard.
• This leads to lower electricity usage and extended AC lifespan.

4. Minimizing Heat Island Effect

• In urban areas, dark roofs contribute to higher temperatures.
• Cool roofs help lower overall city temperatures, reducing demand for electricity.

5. Increasing Roof Longevity

• Heat and UV exposure degrade roofing materials over time.
• Cool coatings reduce thermal stress, preventing cracks and extending roof life.

How Much Can You Save?

The actual savings depend on several factors, such as:

• The local climate (hotter regions see greater benefits).
• The type of roofing material and its insulation properties.
• The building’s size and air conditioning usage.
