Roof Coating Market by Type, Technology, Roof Type, Equipment Application & Geography - Global Forecast to 2020
NEW YORK, June 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The demand for cool roof coating has attracted significant demand in recent times; particularly because reducing energy consumption has become the primary goal of many countries and companies, especially in the U.S. Protective roof coating helps enhance the economic life of roofs by protecting them from UV degradation. Using a roof coat helps organizations to meet their sustainability goals by reducing wastage of resources, such as energy and money. Roof coatings also help repair roof leaks, reduce roof surface temperatures, reflect solar radiation, and reduce cooling loads, and in turn, reduce energy consumption.
Major roof coating associations are focusing on spreading awareness about roof coatings, their benefits, and cost-effectiveness. They are also giving importance to the "do-it-yourself" application process, which allows the end user to apply the roof coat himself, given the proper information and training. There are also some manufacturers that are associated with providing roof coating training to contractors and individuals. Consulting services are also provided by manufacturers to help consumers choose the most effective coating for their roof.
