In the world of engineering and commercial buildings, a roofing scheme that can distribute high solar reflectance and high thermal emittance is a cool roof. Most cool roofs are white and other light colors.Cool roofs improve roof durability and reduce both building cooling loads & the city heat island effect.
Cool roofs are successful alternative to mass loft insulation under roofs in damp tropical and subtropical climates. Mass insulation can be entirely replaced by roofing systems that together replicate solar radiation and provide release to the sky.
San Antonio Cool roof can be used as a geo-engineering technique to deal with global warming based on the theory of solar radiation management, provided that the materials used not only reflect solar energy, but also produce infra-red radiation to cool the planet.

Roof Coating is a monolithic, fully adhered, fluid applied roof covering. It has elastic properties that permits it to stretch and return to their original shape without damage.
Typical Austin roof coating dry film thickness differ from paint film thickness to more than 40 dry mils. This means a roof coating really becomes the top layer of a composite roof covering and underlying system. As such, the Austin roof coating is the topmost layer of protection for the covering, receiving the impact of sunlight, rain, hail and physical damage.
Austin roof coating can be applied by brush, roller or spray. An close sprayer is recommended for best results.
