Cool and Dark Roofing
Depending on the variant of paint used, we can develop roofing known as cool or dark. Using a reflective and light-coloured paint, your house will absorb less sunlight and therefore be cooler when its hot. Alternately, using a dark coloured paint will absorb more sunlight, which can be extremely beneficial in the winter months. With both, when the colour is working effectively, you can save money on your energy bill; needing less power for either your heating or your air conditioning, respectively.
