A roof that reduces air conditioning costs by 40% ?

A roof coating that can save up to 40% in air conditioning costs, or reduce interior temperatures by over 20 degrees?? The key is ceramic technology that creates both the super-white color that reflects most sunlight (just like the polar icecap does) AND insulates despite the thin coating...

Think about that for a moment. Cutting an a/c bill nearly in half just by recoating the roof... This is what we, at UseHalf, are talking about - smart technology that massively reduces energy consumption immediately. In this case, (if you are re-roofing) at very little additional cost vs. conventional roofs.

But guess what in cold weather? It turns out white radiates heat very poorly and the ceramic insulation in the material helps the building stay warm... Like a Thermos, this material knows when to stay cool or be hot.

No wonder California has a new law requiring at least 70% reflectance & transmittance for roofs for new buildings with A/C - something other warm states should consider.

NO COMPROMISE
