White or tan rolled roofing?
8 years ago
last modified: 8 years ago
This little 400 square foot granny flat needs its roof replaced for Santa to land safely.
It's a flat roof, or very nearly flat.
Which will be better, the "white" or the "tan" ?
The underneath will be coated with that "cool roof" film, to deflect heat, but it gets REALLY hot here, (I'm talking a few months of 100+ on most days. *_*) I know a white rolled roof will reflect heat better than a brown one. But would tan roof look better? My own house is uphill from this granny flat, and I see its (currently white) roof all day.
Please, I don't need any additional criticism about the clutter around the house.
I am really bad with colors and just want your advice about tan or white rolled roofing.
