Nowadays we always have options when shopping or buying. This trend also applies to choosing the most suitable colour for your roof.

There are plenty of colours of roof to choose from in the market. Some of you may feel stressed or fickle-minded about deciding because all of us want the best outcome in the end, like the look & feel and the return on investment.

Well, stress no more as we will advise you with some tips on choosing the best colour paint for your old or new roof.

1) The size of your house
First, consider how big your house is. Your property will likely look smaller with a dark colour roof, while a lighter colour roof will make it look bigger.

It is your choice between darker or brighter colours, but you can choose your preferred colour if you don’t bother with these 2 options.

2. Combination with the siding and trim colour paint of your property

Your house’s siding and trim are combined with all parts like the shutter colour, door colour, and prominent window colour that have to consider whether it looks right with the new colour of your roof. All these factors will be calculated to choose the most suitable roof colour for your home.

Avoid the misfit appearance of uncoordinated colours with the overall look of your home. Imagine the fashion of dressing up your clothing with ugly matching colours, which looks funny or weird.

3. The environment around your house
Put effort into considering the surroundings of your home, which will influence your decision on the colour of your roof paint.

Is your house in the city or urban area ?
Is your property surrounded by trees, commercial buildings or other houses ?
Is your home near the lake, park or more evergreens ?

4. The local climate
We definitely can’t miss out on the weather in Malaysia. Our local climate is hot & humid with straight sun and constant rain throughout the year.
The colour of your roof paint might slightly affect the temperature within your home.

Darker colours will be suitable if you live in a place with cold weather because a dark roof absorbs light energy well, reflecting little to space.
On the contrary, we should go for light colour if our property is based in warm weather, as the light colour roof will reflect most of the visible light energy into space.

5. The maintenance of the roof paint
Last but not least, choose a colour that you think is easy to maintain in the following years. Light colour roofs might get dirty more easily than dark roofs. So if you choose a light colour roof paint, you might have to do “roof washing” in every few years.
Besides the above tips, you can also seek advice from the contractor who will paint your roof. They have the knowledge and experience on the right paint colours for your home or property type and also your personal preference.

Once your roof is installed and ready, use our BAOMA Roofcote is a water based 100% pure acrylic roof coating formulated with superior light fastness pigments to give excellent outdoor durability against harsh tropical climates.

Above are a few general tips for choosing the best colour for your roof paint.
