There was a problem 40 years ago, commercial roofs were not energy efficient, so a trusted brand we use (Conklin) made what is called acrylic roof coatings. "What are acrylic roof coatings?" you may ask. Acrylic roof coatings are specially designed roof coatings that reflect up to 85% of the sun's harmful rays which will save you great deal of money in the long run. Some of the business owners who have purchased this roofing system, are able to pay it off well within the warranty period because of the energy savings.
