I think a white metal roof would be very attractive. But I haven't seen many houses or garages with white rooves. Machine sheds out in the country have white rooves.
Been thinking about it. Have a dark brown metal carport roof. It pops (thermal expansion) on sunny days. I'm told that there is nothing that I can do. But, I'm still thinking about painting it all white. (perhaps elastomeric paint if needed) to see if it helps.
Thanks, Thad. I would like to see more information on high reflectivity paint systems and any new developments/offerings since your video on this three years ago.
Nice video buddy! I have a few questions, would appreciate if you can help me out. 1.-What is the roof made of? Is that the same roof that third world countries use to roof their houses? Is it galvanized stainless steel? 2.-How resistant is it over time in the presence of all-year sun and sporadic rains? 3.-What metal gauge do you recommend if I´m going to use it in my patio for my home gym? The area I´ll cover will be 49 squared feet Thanks in advance!
@@darwinjina good point, specular reflected light might be worth factoring in like if you have some pannels on a roof with one slope, maybe better to place in a cluster by the union of the slope instead of away on its own

Was thinking this would be a great option for bifacial solar panels.

Would have been good info to throw in average SRI of regular shingles
Why would white metal roof be more apt to show dirt than a lighter gray roof ?
Do you recommend a roofer in the Austin, TX area? I watched the video you did w Risinger. Who was his roofer? Thanks!
Thad, can you provide a Sheffield Metal roof installer in the Sarasota / Bradenton, Florida area?

Any installers in south west florida?
My gallery blue metal roof is hot as hell in the summer is a Brite white better
Do you have a Pittsburgh area contractor in your network?
Drop us a line here and someone from the Sheffield team will be able to help you out! bit.ly/contact-sheffield Thanks for watching! -Thad
hmmm a white roof would also improve the efficiency of solar panels in n America. never heard anyone talk about that.
there is a white color backing on solar panels. I wonder how that plays in the temperature equation.

@@vevenaneathna yes. hmm, bifacial solar panels are more expensive but they may thrive in these cases too.
