Lying under a shade tree is always a great way to keep cool, but when you're trying to keep a facility cool, it's hard to create instant shade trees. One way to shade buildings is to coat the roofs with a reflective coating.

How they work Reflective roof coating products reflect the sun's rays, keeping the heat from being absorbed by the roof. They come in many varieties for different types of roofs.
