wHY A LIGHT COLOR ROOF IS A GOOD OPTION?

Dark color roofs absorb the heat making your attic hotter, that heat transfers to the insulation which in turn transfers to your habitable space resulting on an extra load to your AC system. While light roofs reflect the UV rays making your attic cooler in the summer. It might not be significant in the short time but the simple fact of installing a light-colored roof combined with the adequate attic ventilation, could mean savings in energy cost and costly AC system repairs. 

Another reason to install a light roof is that you could be helping the world by redirecting the heat to the space this might sound crazy but let's pretend all roofs in your neiborhood are white we would probably need sunglasses to look at them from the distance, that is called reflection, it works with light but also works with the heat. now what if all roofs in Atlanta are white? At Select Roofing we are committed to help our next generations to inherit a better world, and we believe energy efficient roofs could definitely help.
