Roofing

In the year 1905 in Switzerland, a little bushy-haired patent office clerk wrote a paper that described light as being composed of tiny particles he called photons. When Albert Einstein explained the photoelectric effect, he turned science on its head and helped show how ordinary sunlight generates a multiplicity of effects – including the need for roof repair for business throughout the sunbelt.

Sunlight Smack Down

Einstein pioneered discoveries that teach us that sunlight is energy (a wave) and also a particle (a photon). The sunlight that hits your commercial roof carries infrared radiation (heat) and ultraviolet radiation (high energy).

The heat travels into your industrial or commercial structure through conduction, nibbling away at your central air conditioner’s attempts to cool employees and customers alike and increasing your energy costs.

The ultraviolet radiation tears apart the very molecules of your roof, no matter what the material.

Remember light is also particles, and they hit your roof at – literally – the speed of light. These particles are exceedingly small, but still have enough mass to wear down surfaces. BELDON® Roofing Company conducts many projects of roof repair for business properties simply because sunlight caused extensive deterioration of roofing materials.

Minor league versions of this major-league destruction can be seen in faded outdoor furniture and even summer’s sun-bleached hair.

Shields Up

You can protect your roof, minimizing roof repair for business, by following some simple strategies:

  • Sunscreen—Have BELDON® Roofing Company apply spray coatings purposely designed to reflect sunlight away from your roof, reducing the effects of infrared and ultraviolet radiation
  • Lighten up—Use light-colored materials in single ply membranes to increase reflectivity
  • Insulate—Ensure your roof deck is adequately insulated beneath whatever roofing surface you choose; insulation fights conduction, increasing energy efficiency
  • Maintain—BELDON® Roofing Company is happy to provide either roof repair for business or roof maintenance for business; most Texas and sunbelt businesses prefer steady maintenance, with its predictable costs and guarantees, over emergency repair
