Also called an evaporative cooling system a roof misting system lowers surface temperatures by spraying an extremely small amount of water across the roof allowing the water to cool the roof as it evaporates. If you haven t encountered reflective roof coatings these are coatings you apply to metal and rubber roofs to reduce heat from roof top. Extreme heat 31 high impact hail resistant 18 high reflectivity 51 high wind resistant 26.
