What are the Advantages of a White Roof?
White roofs have been on the rise in recent years, and here is why. White roof tiles not only give the roof a unique look, but during the increasingly warmer summers, a white roof also keeps your home cooler resulting in lower energy costs.
New Aesthetic Possibilities
A white roof gives your house a contemporary and exclusive look, making your home an architectural masterpiece. Deciding to use white roof tiles will make for an aesthetically beautiful home.
Regulated Home
White roof tiles reflect the sunlight, so that less heat enters the house. Your home will keep cool during the increasingly hot summers. This results in lower energy bills and a reduced environmental impact as air conditioning will be less frequently used.
Lower Energy Consumption
White roofs have a clear impact on energy consumption. Not only does the air conditioner have to run less often, the efficiency of solar panels will also increase. The white roof reflects sunlight, which is partly absorbed by solar panels.
Future Proof Cities
Perhaps you have already heard something about the urban heat island effect, the phenomenon that it is often a few degrees warmer in cities than in surrounding areas. This effect is partly caused by dark building materials, and therefore by dark roof tiles. To help reduce the heat island effect, urbanists are calling for the full implementation of white roofs, to make the cities future-proof.
