Why don't threads on this forum close after a certain amount of inactivity? I thought this thread was dead. I imagine Skyking made his decision as to building methods and materials long ago...

There are gaps in between the lines for a reason. Yes, suntuf panels admit light. Yes, shiny surfaces make better reflectors. Yes, a flat black steel roof panel absorbs more heat in sunlight than a white one. Whether or not a casual surfer will care if they are giving up 2% heat gain to have a tan roof, well I haven't one clue!
