Last August Liza Barth wrote a great
article titled “How to Beat the Heat with a Cool Roof.” Liza had some great insights about how
roofs can actually help homes stay cooler. We all know how hot and muggy
summers in the South can get with humidity. We wanted to share some insights on how roofs can ACTUALLY help that crazy heat!
-Because darker colors are known to
absorb heat, we aim to wear lighter colors in the summer and Liza said that it
is the same for roofs. It is known that generally lighter colored roofs will absorb less heat.
-Cool roof colors include: light tans,
light grays, and even whites!
-A cool roof can cut down on air
conditioning bills to help save money and keep the air conditioning unit working longer (which
reduces maintenance costs…and lets be honest...all of the above are a plus!).
Liza's article was super interesting and made me consider the color of my roof! To read her whole article go to http://blog.gaf.com/how-to-beat-the-heat-with-a-cool-roof/
