Environmental Impact of Acrylic Coatings on Shingles
1. Eco-Friendly Ingredients: Many acrylic coatings are water-based and low in VOCs, making them less harmful to the environment and safer for those applying them.
2. Reduced Waste: By extending the lifespan of shingles, acrylic coatings help reduce roofing waste in landfills, as fewer shingles need to be replaced.
3. Heat Reduction: Acrylic coatings can reflect sunlight and help reduce a building’s overall heat absorption, which indirectly lowers energy demand and greenhouse gas emissions.
