Hur kan jag bibehÄlla en likformig fÀrg pÄ cedarbÀltrosarna pÄ alla fyra sidorna av mitt hus? Ingen verkar veta varför fÀrgen pÄ vissa sidor Àr sÄ annorlunda Àn den pÄ andra sidan.

Norm Abram svarar: FÀrgen pÄ bÀltros varierar beroende pÄ dess exponering för fukt och solljus. De med större exponering kommer att förlora sin naturliga fÀrska sÄgade fÀrg snabbare Àn de som Àr mer skyddade. Det Àr bara vad trÀ gör nÀr det lÀmnas utomhus.
Det enda sÀttet att fÄ enhetlig fÀrg Àr att applicera nÄgon form av finish, antingen en fÀrg, flÀck eller blekande olja. Om du bestÀmmer dig för att gÄ pÄ den hÀr vÀgen, var noga med att rengöra bÀltrosen noggrant först med en blandning av utspÀdd blekmedel och tvÀtttvÄl för att avlÀgsna smuts och mögel. Tryck inte bara pÄ dem - du kommer att förkorta deras livslÀngd avsevÀrt.

FAQ - 💬
❓ What is the most popular shingle color?
👉 The most popular colors for shingles we've seen this year include:
- Light brown huesâsand, taupe, desert.
- Dark brown huesâautumnal brown, tree bark, weathered wood.
- Blue huesâdenim, navy, sky, blue-green.
- Green huesâforest, moss, hunter.
- Off white huesâbeige, stone, tan, khaki.
❓ Is it better to have lighter or darker shingles?
👉 Light shingles fair better in warmer weather, as light colors tend to deflect sunlight and keep your house cooler. Dark shingles are the opposite; they absorb heat, which makes them excellent for colder climates. They also tend to make snow melt much more quickly.
❓ What color shingle is most energy efficient?
👉 WhiteWhite is the best color for energy efficiency because of the albedo effect. With a white roof, or a roof with a color that has similarly lighter hues, the sun's rays are reflected instead of absorbed.
❓ Should shingles be white?
👉 Since white or light colored shingles are better reflectors of heat than black shingles; they are best suited for climates with high temperatures. This means that cooling costs for these homes will be lowered. There is a lot that goes into the selection of the roofing material that is right for your job.
❓ Do darker shingles make house hotter?
👉 In general, lighter-colored roofs reflect away heat rays from the sun, but dark-colored roofs absorb much of that heat and transfer it into the rooms below. So, yes, black roofs do attract more heat. Or course, color isn't the only aspect of your roof that affects home temperature.
❓ Does the color of roof shingles matter?
👉 Darker colors absorb more heat, and warmer roofs make it easy for snow and ice to slide right off. Lighter colors reflect sun rays, keeping roofs cooler and helping homeowners in warmer climates save a little on their energy bills.
❓ What color roof makes a house look bigger?
👉 Choose light colors Light colors such as white, ivory, pale gray, and sage green reflect higher amounts of light than dark colors, tricking the eye into perceiving the home as larger than it is.
❓ Should the roof be darker or lighter than the house?
👉 In the debate over dark vs light-colored roof shingles, lighter ones win hands down when it comes to deflecting heat. In warm climates, heat can build up in the attic, lowering the energy efficiency of a home.
❓ What color roof is best for hot weather?
👉 Best of all, green roofs are considered energy-efficient and naturally reduce the heat island effect. They also add oxygen back into the air, making them particularly important for large urban sprawls and areas that experience high traffic congestion.
❓ Why don't people use white shingles?
👉 The main drawback of white shingles is that they won't be able to absorb heat as well as black shingles would during the colder seasons of the year. As you can imagine, absorbing heat during the winter could help you reduce the amount of heat your heating system needs to crank out to keep your home warm.
❓ Is there a downside to a black roof?
👉 Increased Energy Consumption Due to their heat absorption, black shingle roofs can cause extra energy use during the hottest months of the year, especially during the peak heat during the day when the sun is at its highest. Your home's HVAC unit will need to run harder to keep the home at a desirable temperature.
