When the sun is beating up on your home, it heats up your roof very much, especially so during the warmer months of the year. In some situations, this could end up costing you quite a bit of money since you would need to compensate for that heat with your air-conditioning system. It could actually end up contributing to a large chunk of your energy bill in the summer.

If you are looking to make sure that your home is efficient, what can you do? One option is to install a cool roof.

Cool roofing can be installed either as a brand new roof or it can be attached to your existing roof. It is a coating that reflects the sun’s heat away from your home, causing a lot less heat buildup in your attic. This doesn’t just help with the heat, it also leads to a longer life-span for your roof since the sun’s beams can deteriorate a roof over time.
