Protecting Your Roof With Reflective Coatings

Choosing the Right Reflective Coating

There are two types of reflective roof coatings to choose from: white elastomeric coatings and aluminum coatings. The selection of one of these two types of coatings will be based on the energy savings you are trying to achieve, as well as the material you are looking to coat.  Consult the information below to learn which coating is best for your application, as well as what potential energy savings each coating offers.  Or contact a Henry representative for more information.
