How roof colour affects heat inside your home, and what to consider when picking a colour for a Bundaberg roof paint.
Your roof takes the full force of the Bundaberg sun. The colour you choose when repainting can make a noticeable difference to how hot your home gets in summer.
Lighter roofs reflect more sunlight, so less heat gets into the roof space. Darker roofs absorb more. Many Bundaberg homeowners moving to a lighter shade notice the difference straight away.
Some coatings are designed to reflect more heat even in mid-tone colours. If you prefer a darker look, these are worth considering. See heat-reflective coatings.
Consider your walls, trims, gutters and the street. Colour samples look different on a roof in full sun, so we recommend checking a sample at different times of day.
Whatever colour you pick, the roof must be cleaned, repaired and primed first. See roof pressure cleaning. Coating a roof in a lighter colour can make a real difference to heat inside the house, and good prep is what makes roof painting last.
