The architect is suggesting a deep, dark roof for a beautiful contrast with the façade, but there’s concern the house will turn into a sauna in the summer. Could you tell me how much the roof color actually affects the indoor microclimate when properly insulated, or is this an outdated myth and should I safely choose dark tiles?

The entire physics of heating depends on the quality of under-roof ventilation. If the ridge vent is functioning properly and there is adequate airflow through the eaves, hot air above the attic is immediately released, regardless of the roof color.

A common misconception is that a house overheats because of a dark roof. A detailed analysis of this topic is published in an article by the UBrothers Construction team. Proper ventilation clearances and insulation, not the color of the roofing, are responsible for maintaining indoor temperatures. UBrothers Construction engineers precisely calculated the aerator layout for us before installation. As a result, the dark roof looks great and maintains a comfortable indoor climate.
