Types of Systems Available for Commercial Reflective Roofing Installation
We offer several types of reflective roofing systems designed to keep commercial buildings cooler and reduce energy costs. Each system has benefits depending on the building's needs and structure.
Single-Ply Membrane Options
Single-ply membranes are thin sheets of roofing material that are easy to install and highly reflective. They come in materials like TPO (thermoplastic olefin) and PVC (polyvinyl chloride). Both offer good resistance to UV rays and chemical exposure.
We prefer TPO because it reflects sunlight well and is heat-welded for strong seams. PVC is also durable and resists fire and water. These membranes create a smooth, reflective surface that lowers roof temperature and energy use. They are lightweight and flexible, making them suitable for low-slope or flat commercial roofs.
Built-Up Reflective Roofing Systems
Built-up roofing uses multiple layers of materials, including asphalt and reflective coatings, to form a durable barrier. This system is heavier than single-ply membranes but offers excellent protection.
We apply reflective coatings on top of the layers to increase solar reflectance. These coatings are often white or light-colored to bounce back sunlight. Built-up systems handle foot traffic well and have a longer lifespan, making them a strong choice for roofs exposed to wear and tear.
Reflective Metal Roofing Solutions
Metal roofing panels with reflective coatings are another reliable option. We use materials like aluminum or steel treated with a reflective finish to reduce heat absorption.
Metal roofs are sturdy and last for decades. The reflective coating helps keep the building cool by reflecting away a large portion of the sun’s rays. These roofs work well on sloped commercial buildings and can also handle harsh weather conditions like heavy rain or wind. Metal roofs are low maintenance and can improve a building’s energy efficiency significantly.
Our Commercial Reflective Roofing Installation Process
To properly install these different roofing systems, we focus on clear steps and ensure that it fits your building’s needs. Our approach includes a detailed review, careful choice of materials, and a precise installation to ensure quality and durability.
Project Assessment and Consultation
We start by inspecting your current roof and building structure. This helps us understand the best way to apply reflective roofing based on your building’s size, shape, and condition.
During consultation, we discuss your goals, budget, and any special requirements. We also measure your roof and check for leaks or damage that must be fixed first. This ensures no hidden problems disrupt the project later. We explain how reflective roofing can save energy and reduce cooling costs. Our team answers your questions to clarify the benefits and installation steps. This sets clear expectations and builds trust.
Material Selection and Sourcing
We use high-quality reflective materials designed to withstand the Chino climate. Our main options include TPO, PVC, and cool roof coatings. Each has specific benefits like durability, energy savings, and cost-effectiveness.
We help you select the best material by comparing key features across all three options. TPO offers a lifespan of 20+ years with high energy efficiency, medium cost, and low maintenance requirements. PVC provides an even longer lifespan of 25+ years with very high energy efficiency, though it comes at a higher cost while still maintaining low maintenance needs. Cool roof coatings have a shorter lifespan of 10-15 years with moderate energy efficiency and the lowest upfront cost, but require medium-level maintenance over time.
Once chosen, we source materials from trusted suppliers to ensure quality and timely delivery. This avoids project delays and guarantees the durability of your new roof.
Step-by-Step Installation Procedures
Our team begins by prepping the roof, removing debris and repairing damage. A clean, smooth surface is crucial for proper adhesion and performance. We then install insulation if needed to improve energy efficiency. After that, the reflective roofing material is laid out carefully and secured with fasteners or adhesives depending on the type.
Seams and edges get special attention. We use heat welding or sealants to create waterproof joints. This prevents leaks and maximizes the roof’s lifespan. Finally, we perform a thorough inspection. We check for any loose areas, proper drainage, and clean the site before finishing. We also provide maintenance tips to keep your roof in top shape.

Commercial Reflective Roofing Installation FAQs
What is reflective roofing and how does it work?
Reflective roofing uses specially designed materials or coatings that reflect sunlight and UV rays rather than absorbing heat. These "cool roof" systems can reflect 50-90% of solar energy, significantly reducing roof surface temperatures by 50-60°F. This keeps your building cooler, reduces air conditioning costs, and extends your roof's lifespan by minimizing thermal stress.
How much can I save with reflective roofing?
Reflective roofing can reduce cooling costs by 10-30%, depending on your building size, insulation, and climate. Many businesses see annual savings of $1,000 to $10,000 or more on energy bills. The reduced thermal stress also extends roof lifespan, and you may qualify for energy efficiency rebates or tax incentives that offset installation costs.
Does California require reflective roofing for commercial buildings?
Yes, California's Title 24 energy code requires cool roofing for most commercial buildings to improve energy efficiency. Low-slope roofs must meet minimum solar reflectance and thermal emittance standards. Chino Superior Roofing ensures all installations comply with current California building codes and can help you navigate Title 24 requirements for your project.
What are the best reflective roofing materials?
Popular options include white TPO or PVC membranes, reflective coatings applied over existing roofs, cool modified bitumen with reflective granules, and metal roofing with reflective finishes. Each offers different benefits—TPO and PVC provide excellent reflectivity and durability, while coatings are cost-effective for existing roofs. We'll recommend the best solution for your building and budget.
Can I add reflective coating to my existing roof?
In many cases, yes! Applying a reflective coating over your existing roof is an economical way to achieve cool roof benefits without complete replacement. Your current roof must be structurally sound with minimal damage. We'll inspect your roof to determine if it's a good candidate for a reflective coating system or if repairs are needed first.
