Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Choose white ceramic-coated granules when a solar-reflective surfacing is wanted on cap sheets or stone-coated metal applications. Distribute uniformly and embed while the coating or adhesive is at proper application temperature for maximum adhesion. Order by square based on the specified granule loading rate.
Wear a dust mask and eye protection when handling and dispensing dry granules.
