For a specific answer click onto the ” CRICSsm ” Logo or “Ceramic Reflective Insulating Coating Systems” on our website for “What are CRICSsm? …and how will they help me save money?” and see the cost comparison of various roofing applications on the bottom of this page. In Dr. Lisa Garland’s January 1999 article, she estimates that the initial cost of Cool Coatings is approximately $ 0.50/sq. ft. versus $ 3.50/sq. ft. for conventional roofing.

In the same article, recoat/relayer cost after 10 years are estimated at $ 0.50 sq. ft. for the coating versus $ 1.50 for the conventional roofing. The total (net) 10 year cost for Cool Coatings is $ 0.08 to 0.30/sq. ft versus $ 5.00/sq. ft. for conventional roofing. Claims of up to 50% in energy savings from coating a ro
