We Filipinos are no stranger to the blazing heat in the summer. Even rainy seasons are no exception! Generally, it’s way hotter inside the house than it is outside. And from a roof specialist Philippines— we can confirm that it might have a lot more to do with the color of your roof.
Yes. You read that right! Let’s apply basic science to support it. Since we all know that black (or darker colors) absorb more heat than white (lighter colors)— we’ve been advised as kids not to wear dark-colored clothing in the summer. The same applies to our roof colors. Since it’s exposed to broad daylight, choosing darker colors might insulate your home more and more as it absorbs more heat from the sun. And we couldn’t imagine that to be a pleasant experience.
