Inside my house. The roof is flat, and it gets hot as hell, I want to fix this issue. The roof was once coated with some white coating, but that has degraded, and it's expensive to replace that coating every 2 years, I want a more permanent solution, has anyone had this issue and resolved it?

We had a little bit of a problem like that with a home we purchased back in 2003, where the temperature was a killer and maintenance of the roof's elasto seal covering too much of a hassle.

We tried a friend's recommendation for the same problem which he also faced long ago. We used "gravilla" or fine gravel to place a thin coat all atop the flat roof and wet the roof once in a while during the worst summer heat waves. It worked!

We also found by trial and error, that using some weed killer added to the water also worked wonders to control unwanted greens growing there.

A word of recommendation after using three types of gravillas: Buy the one that's white in color, the lighter the better!
