Are white roofs the best?
Perhaps the better question is: Why are there white roofs?
They are sometimes required by Building Code in major metropolitan areas to help reduce the Urban Heat Island Affect. Due to this, there is a knee jerk reaction to install a white roof pretty much everywhere.
What I’ve heard from new clients is this: they are concerned they were pushed into installing a white roof and selected a roof that lacks toughness, worried because the roof is so bright their employees need to wear eye protection, and disappointed to learn they were never made aware that there were many “white roof” options.
The reality is that depending on your location, a dark colored roof may make sense. Every roof type has its attributes for why you’d select it for a specific application, not just the color.
If any of this resonates with you and you’d like to explore roof system options, let me know.
