What Is commercial Reflective Roofing?

Reflective roofing—also known as cool roofing—involves the use of white or light-colored membranes or coatings that bounce solar radiation away from the building.

  • White TPO Reflective Roof Membranes
  • Silicone and Acrylic Cool Roof Coatings
  • Reflective Elastomeric Roof Sealants
  • PVC High-Reflectance Systems
  • Metal Roofing with Reflective Finishes


Whether you’re installing a new flat roof or restoring an existing one, reflective roofing is a powerful, eco-friendly upgrade for Elgin IL businesses.

Lower Heat. Lower Bills. Longer Roof Life.

Elgin IL climate demands roofing systems that can handle high UV exposure and extreme thermal cycling. Traditional dark roofs can absorb up to 90% of solar heat, causing premature wear and increased HVAC usage.


Our reflective  commercial roof systems combat this by reflecting 60–85% of the sun’s energy, resulting in:


  • Cooler interior temperatures
  • Reduced HVAC load
  • Lower energy costs year-round
  • Increased roof membrane durability
  • Potential eligibility for utility rebates & ENERGY STAR® credits
