What is White Roofing?
Known simply as “cool roofing,” this process is designed to reduce the solar radiation absorbed, which means less heat is transferred inside the building. White roofing also emits some heat usually retained by a building, cooling it further. White roofs can help keep building temperatures as much as 35 degrees cooler, saving vast amounts of energy and money spent on air conditioning.
