I own a 2 family wood frame house in Bushwick. I recently had half of my roof recovered with white sbs modified bitumen, to repar some leaks. The other half is torch down rubber, which was put down less than 2 years ago. (probably illegally, but before I owned the house).
The rubber is dark, and I want to paint it to reduce heat in the upstairs apartment, as well as protect it, and I’m wondering if the Karnak aluminum paint found in home depot is the right stuff.
There is one with fiber and the another without, I was wondering the purpose of the fiber, and which is best.
Also, it says on the label to machine mix it, does home depot do that, or do I need to deal with that myself.
The other thing is, should I paint the sbs portion of the roof as well, or is it not necessary because it’s white, and is there a danger of damaging it with the silver paint?
Thanks
BTW the roofer I used was recommended to me by Nick @ Leakmaster; John Mastroianni, I’m very happy with his work and price.
