White Roof Options: Style or Function?

We may be used to seeing a sea of dark colors when we look at a neighborhood from an aerial view, but that may be about to change. Professional roofers should be aware of new trends and be able to explain them to clients when it’s time for a new roof.

That’s right: Science has evidence that a light colored roof can help against greenhouse gases – by a lot! The idea is that while black absorbs heat, white reflects it back up into the atmosphere.

So how does that translate into energy savings? Well, it’s like this: during hot summer months, homes constantly run their air conditioners. These machines suck up energy like nobody’s business, besides using some pretty unsustainable elements like Freon or other refrigerant to run.

When you eliminate the heat from a black roof, the equation changes. That’s why a lot of experts are saying that a “whitewashing” of our infrastructure may soon occur.

Is the future a sea of white houses? That depends on how much “green” or ecological factors can get into the style considerations of individual homeowners. Obviously, things like this aren’t going to be mandated, although you may start to see commercial and government clients go with light colors. This will be up to the opinion of the public.

How can you help? By explaining to your clients exactly why the white roof is in their best interests. They can then make their own choices, but by educating them on some of this basic science, you’ll be promoting ecology while on the job, and contributing to a responsible culture that we need to eventually embrace to help us deal with climate change and other events.

In their reports on this, some of the people writing books on the subject envision a government re-painting of roads, as well as a lightening of sidewalks and other structures, all to provide some natural cooling options that will hopefully have a positive effect on the consequences of “global warming”.

If you’re sceptical about the link between white and green, don’t take my word for it – There is more literature on the subject. Do some research, find out what lighter color opinions are best for your community. As a reminder, all of us humans are in the fight for the environment, so think green. Our leaders are starting to think that way – and so should we!

Above demonstrates a few of the variables which people are debating for choosing new roof pigments in the new millennium – you’ve heard the old saying that “the only thing sure is change”? This is precisely what I mean. There will always be change in any industry, and those who work in roofing should pay attention to some of the things that are going on in their own industry, to be able to profit from this knowledge later when these trends really develop. It’s a good idea, in any case, to offer clients a wide range of choices, and to fully explain these choices in ways that they can understand, to help your clients really make wise decisions about their homes.

How do I get rid of a white heat mark from a real wood dark oak table?

first of all the mark is not in the wood itself its in the lacquer that is on top of the wood lacquer is delicate so i wouldn’t suggest using vinegar or mayonnaise on it, i had a beautifull german oak table with the same marks in if the table is old there are furniture restorers that will do the work for you, the best advice is to find an old guy that is into french polishing and the like, there are a few of them around and they should be able to get it out straight away.
