For most homeowners, it is important to have a roof that is as stylish as it is durable. That’s why APD Roofing, a top-rated quality roofing company offers asphalt roof shingles in a variety of colors to match the look of any home or business.
Choosing the Right Color for Your Roof Shingles
There are many factors to consider when selecting the right color for your roof shingles. When choosing the perfect color, you should consider your home’s style, its current exterior color, and whether you want your roof to reflect or absorb heat.
Light vs Dark Roof Shingles Colors
The light-colored and dark-colored roof shingles can impact your home’s energy efficiency and internal temperature. Rooves face the sky and thus are pummeled by radiant heat energy from the sun’s rays day after day.
Light-colored rooves typically reflect most of that radiant heat, helping to keep the attic and other rooms below it cooler in the summer. In turn, your home’s air conditioning system doesn’t have to work as hard to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature.
In contrast, dark-colored roof shingles tend to absorb heat, which contributes to increased indoor temperatures, especially in the summer. In this scenario, your HVAC unit may have to work harder to cool your home, which could result in higher energy bills.
If you want a roof that complements your home's look, but you're also worried about energy costs, don't worry! Remember that a dark-colored roof’s ability to absorb heat can come in handy during the cooler months since it holds heat, keeping your home warmer in the winter. Plus, a roof’s color isn’t the only thing that can affect a home’s temperature. A roof’s material, hardware, and specific attributes—such as roof sealant—can also affect your home’s overall energy efficiency.
Matching Your Home’s Style
Some colors simply do not go well in certain roofing styles. For example, a trendy or modern shingle color might not make sense when paired with a classic Victorian-style home or traditional Southern-style home. On the other hand, modest brown shingles might clash with the look of a modern home. For a better understanding of what shingle colors complement the different house styles, it could help to take a stroll through your neighborhood for inspiration or ideas.
Coordinating Colors
Of course, when deciding what color you want for your roof shingles, it’s important to consider the color of your home as well. For example, white shingles can complement almost any color, while brown, black, gray, blue, or green shingles can pair well with a taupe or cream house.
