thermaSOL™ heat reflective roof coating is a unique formula which makes it one of the most advanced, high performance, heat reflecting roof coatings available today. thermaSOL™ roof coating is developed with the latest pigment technology with ceramics and special oxides in the formula to stop heat transferring through the coating. Tests have shown that on a 30 degrees Celcius day, a black roof will have a surface temperature of 80 degrees Celcius, while a white roof will have a surface temperature of only 45 degrees Celcius. However, white roofs are rarely chosen by architects and building/house owners. Darker colours make a stronger statement of style and aesthetics. To meet the growing need for energy efficient roofs without sacrificing style and beauty, our engineers have developed a palette of reflective roof coatings that look dark in colour to the human eye, but reflect most of the sun’s energy. This breakthrough now enables architects to design roofs with medium and dark colours. Our engineers have been developing innovative roof coatings for nearly 30 years. Their experience with high quality roof coatings for multiple surfaces is unsurpassed. The thermaSOL™ reflective roof coating will not just lower the surface temperature, but will also improve the appearance and look of the roof. Heat accelerates the degradation of all roof coatings causing a reduction in elasticity, gloss, adhesion, colour and other typical physical properties of acrylic coatings. By keeping the coating cooler, the thermaSOL™ technology will enhance and extend the life of the coating. Because the life of the coating is extended, replacement or refurbishment is not required so frequently, which in turn adds further value to the original job. This provides even more cost savings for the house owner. thermaSOL™ improves the functionality, appearance and look of the roof and will furthermore give the following distinct advantages: Reflects up to 70% TSR* Lowers the surface heat absorption by up to 40% Saves money: Reduces energy costs Extends roof life: Roof life is extended due to lesser expansion and contraction of roofing materials that occur during extreme fluctuations in temperature Adds beauty and value: Popular colours have architectural appeal and thermaSOL™ provides added protection to roof tiles. Increases comfort in the living areas Better for the environment: Contributes to a better climate by reducing carbon emission * TSR stands for Total Solar Reflectance. This is the percentage amount of solar energy reflected from a given surface. 100% = Total Reflection. So, 0% = No reflection, therefore 100% absorption. A typical black surface will approximately have 3% TSR. Therefore this surface absorbs up to 97% of the sun’s heat
