However, if you live in a cold region, I think it's best that you opt for darker colors for your wall and roof as it would help make your rooms warmer.Eugene Headhttp://www.leakproofroof.net/about-us/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1414614004027446013.post-14391640561593620392012-08-28T12:23:07.017-07:002012-08-28T12:23:07.017-07:00North of the 45th parallel, or in Toronto, dark co...North of the 45th parallel, or in Toronto, dark colors can be beneficial if the heating energy bill exceeds the cooling, which I think it will.the yellow fringehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00003652058436636394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1414614004027446013.post-5415441390319926352012-08-28T12:20:14.528-07:002012-08-28T12:20:14.528-07:00KW, correct, and there is no reason a light colore...KW, correct, and there is no reason a light colored or white house should be viewed as sacrificing appearance.the yellow fringehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00003652058436636394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1414614004027446013.post-87005100054550563482012-08-28T12:18:39.292-07:002012-08-28T12:18:39.292-07:00CC:

Expense wise, heating bills are less than cooling bills with few exceptions in the USA. Thus, light colors will save the homeowner or business owner money.the yellow fringehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00003652058436636394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1414614004027446013.post-17574400367667325422012-08-28T11:21:33.370-07:002012-08-28T11:21:33.370-07:00I wouldn't question the personal interests of ...I wouldn't question the personal interests of other people. If they want to make their house more appealing rather than make it cost-efficient, that's their choice. But for me, it's best to counter the hot or freezing weather rather than tolerate it. Installing white roofs on a house where there is a hot, tropical climate can be beneficial, as it reflects 70% of heat, while, dark roofs can be a good choice for the cold climate countries, because it absorbs heat causing the temperature inside to rise.Santo Caridinehttp://www.alpineroofing.ca/copper-roofing-toronto.phpnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1414614004027446013.post-17124357509044276772012-08-24T08:50:05.594-07:002012-08-24T08:50:05.594-07:00Well, if lived in your community, I would definite...Well, if lived in your community, I would definitely choose a light colored paint for my house rather than dark ones, sacrificing appearance for comfort. I mean, a house is built to provide comfort and shelter isn’t it? Though I believe that there should be a balance between the two, comfort should still be prioritized over appearance.Kip Whiteheadhttp://www.tittlebrothers.com/windows-detroit/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1414614004027446013.post-52609441274323027432012-07-09T12:23:18.295-07:002012-07-09T12:23:18.295-07:00The prevailing belief is that the choice of the be...The prevailing belief is that the choice of the best roof color depends on how cold or hot the place is. For example, lighter-colored roofs are usually used in warm areas due to their energy-efficiency and cooling effect. This is because they reflect the sun’s rays, thus keeping the heat from entering the house. Meanwhile, dark roofs can be useful in cooler climates, as they absorb the sun's rays and keep its heat inside like a natural heater.Cody Charleboishttp://www.arrowroofingandsiding.com/roofing/gutters-downspouts/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1414614004027446013.post-70118882838582729592012-06-25T12:51:35.617-07:002012-06-25T12:51:35.617-07:00Neil, Excellent,I hope you get some contracts for ...Neil, Excellent,I hope you get some contracts for your business turning roofs from dark to white.

Insulation below it, is the next layer of protection.

To top it all, painting light colors in houses or roofs reduce carbon emission, cools surroundings and cuts electric bills. The perk of turning black roof into white roof is relatively simple and offbeat. It is indeed beneficial to every household and business owner out there.Neil Hirshhttp://www.a1propertyservices.net/locations/geo-fort-lauderdale-roofing/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1414614004027446013.post-56093403996291495912012-06-25T11:12:56.458-07:002012-06-25T11:12:56.458-07:00Darrel,
