White Barndominium: Why do People use White?
If you are building a barndominium in an area that is always hot, such as Texas or Arizona, is that color is not a great absorber of heat but instead reflects heat.
When the heat hits the roof of a white barndominium, it will reflect some of the heat.
In time, it will eventually cool the barndominium down. As a result, it will help to cut down on electric bills.
A white barndominium will reflect approximately 55% while other darker colors reflect 15%.
Basically, a white barndominium reflects the sunlight away from your home during the summer.
White is also a neutral color so you can use any color trim that you prefer. It gives you an open color palette when choosing other colors.
It is also a color that stands out and makes someone notice your new barndominium.

I'm James, your barndominiums advisor. Several years ago, I had no idea what barndominiums were. Although I'd spent over 10 years in the construction industry, the first time I heard about barndominiums was when I saw my neighbor building a new-style home. That was the first barndominium I've ever seen, and I found it so fascinating that I wanted to learn more about them.
