Do all white roofing materials reflect the suns energy?
There are degrees of reflectivity, but you will find a significant difference between roofing materials. Duro-Last white roofing retains the highest aged reflectivity in the market. Can I just coat my current roof white and be reflective? That is a qualified yes. The question is how long will the reflectivity hold up and how much and what are the additional maintenance requirements to maintain reflectivity and the warranty. And by the way, is it warranted to remain leak-proof as well? Do I have to tear-off the old roof? It may not be necessary. If an over-lay is appropriate, within specifications and code, it could save you a significant expense by eliminating the tear-off.
