Study Confirms Energy Efficiency in Reflective Roof Coatings
One of the earliest commercial-building studies that measured cooling-energy savings from reflective roof coatings was performed by the Mississippi Power Company. The utility company monitored two identical side-by-side single-story commercial office buildings after the roof of one had been covered with a reflective white elastomeric coating. Both existing buildings had R-11 roof insulation. The results of the experiment confirmed that summertime air conditioning was reduced by 22% in the building with the reflective roof coating (Home Energy Magazine, 1994).

Step 1: Prep the Surface
All roof surfaces are cleaned and primed as necessary prior to foaming. Then the polyurethane foam is applied which conforms to all configurations of the roofing surface. The polyurethane foam reduces thermal shock in metal surfaces. The elastomeric top UV coat is applied to give you a beautifully restored roof surface.
Step 2: Polyurethane Foam Application
Polyurethane foam is applied with a two component proportioning machine. This provides mixing of the components in the spray gun. The foam is applied as a liquid and rises in a matter of seconds. Within minutes, the surface is firm enough to be walked upon.
