Kynar 500 based painted metal roofing can achieve solar reflectance of over 70.
Roof 24 gauge kynar 500 painted steel 1 5 standing seam.
The ms 150 is a fully crimped standing seam roof that is perfect for high wind areas and snow country.
Seams also known as ribs are raised to prevent water penetration and help prevent water leakage into the interior and diverts water down the roof to a drain point.
While many corrugated steel roofs are made using the thinner 29 gauge steel a minimum of 26 gauge g 90 galvanized steel or more commonly galvalume steel better is used for manufacturing of standing seam metal panels.
Reflected solar energy allows the roof surface to remain cooler which means less heat is transferred into the building.
Our standard is 24 gauge which withstands hail better than even the commonly accepted 26 gauge panels offered by most other metal roofers.
While this is the standard for numerous stamped steel panels in the market that are created to look like slate or shake it is not the norm for true standing seam metal roofing material.

Kynar 500 is a paint system typically used on top of galvalume or galvanized steel or aluminum.
Cool metal roofing coated with kynar 500 based resin is one way to limit the urban heat island effect.
However standing seam panels are typically somewhere between 22 and 26 gauge with the most common galvalume steel thickness being 24 gauge and aluminum between 032 and 040 inches.
