Why would you leave 20°C on the roof?

Cutting a roof's surface temperature by 20°C (36°F) is routine for a reflective coating. The question is why you'd leave that on the table.

Stay cool. Get a cool roof.

If your flat roof is past twenty and hasn't been inspected in years, the worst time to learn its condition is after a leak reaches your stock or your production line.


Where the roof qualifies, a fluid-applied coating restores it rather than replacing it:

  • Renews the membrane and carries a manufacturer warranty [confirm the term Delta actually offers]
  • No tear-off, so almost nothing goes to landfill
  • Applied over a working building, with minimal disruption to production
  • A cooler roof means less load on your HVAC — and less contribution to the urban heat island

 "Where the roof qualifies" is the part that matters. Coating a saturated deck just seals the problem in. That's what an inspection settles — moisture readings, core samples where needed, and an honest answer either way.


On cost: restoration runs meaningfully less than a full tear-off and replacement, and how much depends on your existing system and its condition.
