Commercial Reflective Roofing Installation in Evanston IL – Energy-Efficient Cool Roofs That Cut Costs

At TruRoof Evanston IL, we specialize in commercial reflective roofing installation for businesses across Evanston IL. Reflective, or “cool,” roofs are designed to reflect sunlight and reduce heat absorption—helping building owners save significantly on energy bills while extending the life of their commercial roofing system. Whether you manage a school, retail plaza, distribution center, or medical facility, our reflective flat roofing solutions deliver maximum protection, performance, and value under Florida’s intense sun.

What Is commercial Reflective Roofing?

Reflective roofing—also known as cool roofing—involves the use of white or light-colored membranes or coatings that bounce solar radiation away from the building.


At TruRoof Evanston IL, we install:


  • White TPO Reflective Roof Membranes
  • Silicone and Acrylic Cool Roof Coatings
  • Reflective Elastomeric Roof Sealants
  • PVC High-Reflectance Systems
  • Metal Roofing with Reflective Finishes


Whether you’re installing a new flat roof or restoring an existing one, reflective roofing is a powerful, eco-friendly upgrade for Florida businesses.

Lower Heat. Lower Bills. Longer Roof Life.

Evanston IL’s climate demands roofing systems that can handle high UV exposure and extreme thermal cycling. Traditional dark roofs can absorb up to 90% of solar heat, causing premature wear and increased HVAC usage.


Our reflective  commercial roof systems combat this by reflecting 60–85% of the sun’s energy, resulting in:


  • Cooler interior temperatures
  • Reduced HVAC load
  • Lower energy costs year-round
  • Increased roof membrane durability
  • Potential eligibility for utility rebates & ENERGY STAR® credits

Compatible Roofing Systems for Sealing

  • ENERGY STAR® certified
  • Up to 85% solar reflectivity
  • Excellent for retail, offices, and schools

commercial Reflective Roof Installation FAQs – TruRoof Evanston IL

  • How much energy can reflective roofing save me?

    Reflective membranes can cut cooling costs by 15–30% on average, especially in large buildings with flat roofs and long sun exposure.

  • Is a reflective roof more expensive?

    Not necessarily. TPO and PVC membranes are competitively priced, and coatings cost significantly less than full replacements. You also gain long-term savings in energy efficiency and reduced maintenance.

  • Will this meet Evanston IL energy and wind codes?

    Yes. All our materials are Evanston IL Building Code compliant, Evanston IL approved, and eligible for cool roof certifications.

  • Can you apply reflective coatings to an older roof?

    Absolutely. As long as the base membrane is in fair condition, we can apply white silicone or acrylic coatings that restore reflectivity and waterproofing.

  • How long do reflective roofs last?

    TPO and PVC systems can last 20–30 years. Silicone and acrylic coatings typically last 10–20 years, depending on thickness and conditions.
