Reflective Coating • Firestone
The Firestone Building Products White AcryliTop™ Coating reflects at least 68 percent of the sun’s energy after three years, which is 30 percent more than the minimum initial and aged reflectance requirements of the Environmental Protection Agency’s ENERGY STAR program. AcryliTop Coating can be applied to almost any roofing system and offers several benefits such as extended roof life, energy savings and decreased pollution. Firestone Building Products also offers a 10-year AcryliTop Coating Limited Warranty, which covers labor and material on a prorated basis should the coating lose adhesion from the roof substrate.
