When considering home energy savings, we usually focus on windows, insulation, or HVAC systems. But there's one key surface that's often overlooked, and it's right above your head. Your roof can be a powerful tool in cutting down energy costs, especially in hot, sunny climates.
UP TO 50°F COOLER
White roof coatings can lower roof surface temperatures by up to 50°F — reducing indoor temperatures, taking strain off your air conditioning system, and cutting energy bills during peak summer months.
What Are White Roof Coatings?
White roof coatings are reflective, protective layers applied to your existing roof. Unlike traditional dark roofing materials that absorb heat, these coatings bounce sunlight back into the atmosphere.
The result: lower indoor temperatures especially on the top floor, less strain on your air conditioning system, and reduced energy bills particularly during peak summer months.
So How Do They Save Energy?
Traditional dark roofing materials absorb solar radiation and transfer that heat into your building. White elastomeric roof coatings work the opposite way — they reflect sunlight before it becomes heat inside your home or building.
You don't need to replace your roof. Coatings like Lanco's white elastomeric roof sealers can be applied directly to many existing roofing materials, making them one of the most cost-effective energy upgrades available.
Ready to Seal in the Savings?
Whether you're a contractor looking for better solutions or a homeowner tired of sky-high summer bills, a white roof coating might be the coolest investment you make this year.
