Black and gray roof surfaces absorb the sun’s rays–about 90%.  The result:  a building that’s tough to cool in warm weather, high electric bills, and wear and tear on both the roof and air conditioning system.

White Roof Benefits:

  • Slashes cooling costs  |  Increases comfort  |  Adds years to roof and air-conditioning system  |  Reduces repairs   Creates new green jobs  |  Cuts pollution  |  Eases urban heat island effect

How It Works: Most flat or low-slope roofs that are in good repair can be coated white.  White Caps, Green Collars will  inspect and measure the surface area and provide a free estimate.  Most roofs require an basecoat of asphalt emulsion, which acts as a primer.

Extreme contrast

The difference in black and white.

After letting the basecoat dry overnight, we apply two coats of Energy Star-approved elastomeric roof coating–a durable product designed specifically for flat roofs, and rated by the Cool Roof Rating Council.  The coating reflects 85% of the sunlight that hits it, and blocks heat absorption for a cooler, more comfortable living environment.
