Four Ways to Keep your Roof Cool in the Summer
Summer has arrived and along with it, the hot weather. While we usually do well keeping ourselves cool, few people think about their keeping their roof cool in summer. However, a too hot roof is never a good thing. The surface temperature on a black roof can be more than 50 degrees Fahrenheit above the air temperature, which could reach over 150 degrees!
That means the heat absorbed by a traditional roof raises the temperature inside the house. This contributes to higher energy usage, leading to staggering bills. Keeping your roof cool can reduce the use of air conditioning use and keep more money in your wallet.
