Economic Benefit, But Mostly Ecological!
A white roof, conceived as an elastomeric membrane, is a roof whose surface is totally white and reflective. Its durability is extended because the sun’s rays are reflected, which allows the roof to maintain a lower temperature during hot summer temperatures. In addition, this type of roofing is now mandatory in several neighborhoods in Montreal, as this makes it possible to counter heat islands.
Without a shadow of doubt, there are several benefits to be gained from reflective roofs :
- For the comfort of your household, this translates into a more comfortable and pleasant living environment while allowing a reduction in the energy bills related to air conditioning;
- At the local level, this contributes to reducing the heat islands and lowering the ambient temperature in urban areas and avoiding the increasingly frequent phenomena of heat waves.
