The 4 Best Ways To Protect Your Roof From The Summer Sun and Heat

Be sure to prepare your roof for summer

After the snow melts and everything finally defrosts from the long, cold winter, it seems like we only have a few weeks until the hot summer sun starts heating everything up.

And while we can go inside and enjoy the air conditioner or a nice dip in the pool, your roof is constantly exposed to the sunlight.

On a typical hot sunny summer day, the temperature on the surface of a traditional asphalt roof can be more than 50 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than the surrounding air temperature.

And when you have one sweltering rooftop next to another, it's no surprise that the air in a large city can often be 6 to 8 Fahrenheit degrees hotter than surrounding areas.

Even in rural and suburban neighborhoods, the heat your roof absorbs on a sunny day can raise the temperatures inside of your house and contribute to higher air conditioning requirements and higher energy costs.

In the article below, we will go over 4 excellent ways to keep your roof cool in the hot summer sun.

These roofs come in various types, but one of the most common designs found in apartment complexes is the flat roof.
