Color Retention Options For Roofing

There are a few important elements to keep in mind in regards to color retention for your roofing materials. It may not seem like the most important aspect of your roof, but it does greatly add to the overall character and look of your home. Below are a few reminders for you to ponder over when it comes to color retention.

Why Should I Care About The Color Of My Home?

One thing that usually isn’t considered when it comes to roofing surfaces is how their color may affect your home and the protectiveness of your roof. If you have a tile or shingle roof that is a darker shade it will inevitably absorb more heat than one that is lighter. The strong UV lights from the sun are what can contribute to fading and a loss of overall color retention. 

How Does My Style Of Roofing Affect Color Retention? 

When it comes down to the shingles versus tiles debate, shingles (especially ones in a dark color) absorb more sun than tile or metal. They lack the reflective properties that they would need to absorb less sun. Especially in those hot and sticky summer months. 

Protect Your Roof’s Color With A Protective Sealant

To refresh your roof’s overall appearance and keep your roof safe in the sun, it is a great idea to invest in a Sealant solution that can protect your home from damaging UV rays. Here at Splash Proof, we recommend our sealant product line. It will waterproof your roof and prevent additional discoloration.
