There has been a long-standing debate in low slope roofing about the effectiveness of a white, Energy Star roof versus a traditional black Rubber or asphalt roof, but who says everything needs to be black or white? There has got to be a gray area.
All Elements is authorized to install gray from several manufacturers. Gray, as well as Tan and Terra Cotta (think clay flower pot) are all readily available roof membranes.
One of our Apartment Management companies prefers a gray, 60 Mil TPO from GenFlex with a 20 year labor & materials warranty from the manufacturer, another preferred a Dark Gray 60 Mil Duro-Last membrane with a 15 year warranty that includes coverage for consequential damages.

The membranes are installed the same as traditional colors, maintain the same performance and carry the same warranties.
