How many of us are aware of the fact that white roofs can contribute to reduction in Global Warming? Well here is the piece of evidence, painting all the roofs white with the pavement headed for a more concrete-type of color than a black-type of color will significantly decrease carbon emission equivalent to all the cars in the globe by a decade. A dark roof is similar to that of a black shirt. On a hot day, the roof absorbs more sunlight and the absorbed light is then emitted as heat into the building in the later part of the day. The heat inside the house increases, and so we make use of air conditioning to cool the interior of our house. In this case, painting the roof white or using a reflective material like white tiles would prevent the temperature increase and we don’t have to to utilize as much energy to cool the house. Which roof paint to choose is the tricky part when it comes to roof painting? Heat-reflecting roof paints would be the best option, Hyper Seal with their Hyper glass cool Top Coat are the most active suppliers of this type. Secondly you could also opt for the Florida-based HyTech, another active supplier with their Insul Cool-coat #2000. There is no reason why roofs should not be painted white, can you think of one? Roof painting has a close relation to conserving energy and reducing global warming, do paint yours!
