White roofs have been on the rise in recent years, and that makes sense. White roof tiles not only give the roof a unique look, but during the increasingly warm summers, a white roof also keeps your home fresh.
A white roof immediately gives the entire home a contemporary and exclusive look, and makes your home an architectural highlight. Choosing white roof tiles means choosing aesthetically beautiful architecture.
A white roof covering reflects sunlight, which means less heat enters the home. The home is therefore easier to keep cool during the increasingly warm summers. Air conditioning has to run less, or has even become redundant.
A white roof covering also has a clear impact on energy consumption. Not only does the air conditioning have to run much less, the efficiency of solar panels also increases. The white roof reflects sunlight, which is partially captured by solar panels.
You may have heard about the heat island effect, the phenomenon that cities are often a few degrees warmer than surrounding areas. This effect is partly caused by dark building materials, and therefore also by dark roof tiles or flat roofing. To help reduce the heat island effect, urbanists advocate implementing plenty of white roofs, in order to future-proof cities.
So definitely consider the benefits of a white roof for your next roof renovation or new construction project.
