Has anyone got experience they can share with painting their roof with solar reflecting paint to avoid solar gain in summer? I’m looking into at the moment and it’s quite expensive, but if it is effective, it’s a lot cheaper than retrofitting aircon!

We have a flat roof, and in theory the house I. Insulated (relatively new, build finished in 2022), but we have weeks of sun relentlessly heating it up. I’m convinced a large portion of heat is getting through, so was looking at non-aircon options and i thought about painting the roof to reduce solar gain. submitted by /u/BigBlueMountainStar [link] [comments]
