   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roof_coating

   A 35 °C (95 °F) heat reduction was observed on this modified bitumen roof with a white, reflective roof coating. Roof coatings are seamless and when installed correctly, can solve roof leaks on almost any type of roofing material. There are exceptions: "professionals do not recommend using cool coatings over existing shingles.

   Roofing material is the outermost layer on the roof of a building, sometimes self-supporting, but generally supported by an underlying structure. A building's roofing material provides shelter from the natural elements. The outer layer of a roof shows great variation dependent upon availability of material, and the nature of the supporting ...

4. Membrane roofing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Membrane_roofing

   Membrane roofing is a type of roofing system for buildings, RVs, ponds, and, in some cases, tanks. It is used to create a watertight covering to protect the interior of a building. Membrane roofs are most commonly made from synthetic rubber, thermoplastic (PVC or similar material), or modified bitumen. Membrane roofs are most commonly used in ...

5. Flat roof - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat_roof

   Inherently cool roofs: Roof membranes made of white or light colored material are inherently reflective and achieve some of the highest reflectance and emittance measurements of which roofing materials are capable. A roof made of thermoplastic white vinyl, for example, can reflect 80% or more of the sun's rays and emit at least 70% of the solar ...

8. Reflective surfaces (climate engineering) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflective_surfaces...

   White thermoplastic membrane roofs (PVC and TPO) are inherently reflective, achieving some of the highest reflectance and emittance measurements of which roofing materials are capable. [18] A roof made of white thermoplastic, for example, can reflect 80 percent or more of the sun's rays and emit at least 70% of the solar radiation that the roof ...
