Posted on August 29, 2019 by Anderson Industrial Roofing

One of the best solutions for helping your commercial roof beat the heat is by taking advantage of roof coating services offered by a local roofing contractor. Not only can a roof coating help cool down your rooftop but it can also provide an environmentally-friendly solution for your structure.
Most businesses these days are concerned with reducing their environmental impact and acrylic elastomeric roof coating is a great way to do so. Here are some of the biggest reasons why!

Roof Coating Extends a Roof’s Lifespan

One of the biggest benefits of roof coating is the sustainability it provides to rooftops that utilize it. Roof coating is a restorable material that reflects heat and UV rays, ultimately extending the lifespan of a roof.
This type of sustainability allows you to make the most of a roofing system and not contribute to overcrowded landfills with constant construction and debris collected from roof repairs. By reducing the energy needed to dispose of old rooftop waste, your roof coating will quickly prove itself a worthy environmentally-friendly investment.

Reflectiveness Saves Energy 

Dark roofs naturally suck in solar energy and cause your building’s HVAC system to work overtime. Roof coatings are generally stark white and have their color for a reason. The white coating on a system will naturally reflect heat and reduce the Urban Heat Island Effect
This reflection of UV rays will naturally cool down your building and allow your HVAC to operate at a normal level, reducing the energy consumption that occurs while a system is functioning.

Several Roof Coatings Have Little to No VOC’s

Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) consists of harmful chemicals and odors. According to the EPA, VOC’s can damage the air quality of a local atmosphere. The roof coatings used by Anderson Industrial Roofing are chemically safe and contain little to no VOC’s.

Roof Coatings Are LEED Compliant

The LEED program (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is one that helps ensure that construction materials are as environmentally-friendly as possible. A reputable roofing company will have several products in their repertoire that are LEED compliant. With their levels of VOC’s roof coatings are a proven LEED compliant roofing product that our clients can trust to help them reduce their environmental footprint,
