In Dickinson, ND, where seasonal extremes can place tremendous strain on commercial roofing systems, cool roof technology offers a high-performance solution designed to reduce costs, enhance comfort, and extend roof life. Mid-West Roofing Systems proudly delivers industry-leading cool roof options tailored specifically for the needs of commercial facilities across the region.
Consider a Cool Roof!
A cool roof is engineered to reflect more sunlight and absorb less heat than a standard roofing system. This is achieved through highly reflective surfaces or coatings applied to the roof membrane. By minimizing heat absorption, cool roofs reduce building cooling loads, lower utility bills, and contribute to a more comfortable indoor environment.
Cool roofs are particularly effective for flat or low-slope commercial roofs, which often bear the brunt of direct sunlight throughout the day.
Commercial Benefits of a Cool Roof
Energy Cost Savings
One of the most immediate benefits of a cool roof is reduced energy consumption. In the warmer months, buildings with cool roofs stay significantly cooler, leading to decreased reliance on air conditioning systems. Businesses can expect a noticeable reduction in utility bills, especially during peak summer months in North Dakota.
Increased Roof Longevity
Excessive heat accelerates the degradation of roofing materials. By reflecting UV rays and keeping the roof surface cooler, cool roofs experience less thermal expansion and contraction. This helps prevent cracking, splitting, and other damage, which means fewer repairs and longer overall lifespan for your roofing system.
Improved Indoor Comfort
Cool roofs help stabilize indoor temperatures in buildings that lack complete HVAC coverage, such as warehouses, manufacturing facilities, or agricultural structures. By reducing heat gain, they create a more comfortable workspace for employees without the need for expensive climate control systems.
Sustainability and Environmental Impact
Cool roofs reduce the urban heat island effect and help lower overall greenhouse gas emissions. In Dickinson and throughout North Dakota, where commercial properties may span large square footage, this environmentally conscious roofing option contributes to long-term sustainability goals.
Popular Cool Roof Options
Mid-West Roofing Systems specializes in two of the most effective cool roofing technologies:
Single-Ply Membranes
Single-ply systems such as TPO (Thermoplastic Olefin) and PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) are inherently reflective and provide excellent cool roofing performance. TPO, in particular, is widely used for its white surface and high solar reflectance index (SRI). These membranes offer excellent waterproofing, UV resistance, and chemical durability, making them ideal for commercial use.
Cool Roof Coatings
Roof coatings are an affordable way to transform an existing commercial roof into a high-performance cool roof system. Reflective elastomeric or silicone coatings can be applied directly over metal, asphalt, or single-ply roofs to create a seamless, reflective barrier. These coatings are low-maintenance, energy-efficient, and extend the life of aging roof systems without the need for full replacement.
