Why Simply Paint Your Commercial Roof When You Can Economically Apply A Roof Paint That Reduces Internal Temperatures By Up To 47%?
Vipac Engineers and Scientists Ltd, Port Melbourne, conducted solar absorptivity comparison testing matching Insultec roof paint against galvanised roofing and colorbonded roofing in a variety of colours from Off White to Heritage Red. The results:
- Galvanised steel roofing – Heat absorption rate of 29%
- Colorbonded steel of various colours – Heat absorption of from 25% to 80%
- Steel roofing coated with Solar Cool’s Insultec - Heat absorption of 15% or less
Insultec insulating paint is proven to have a far lower solar heat absorption rate. What heat that is absorbed into the heat reflective membrane is insignificant and easily released outwards meaning almost no heat is allowed to travel inwards eliminating the need for insulation batts, reducing and sometimes eliminating air conditioning usage and increasing internal comfort levels.
What we are effectively saying here is that many companies have experienced, and you can expect, up to 47% reduction in internal temperature and up to 61% savings on cooling costs.
Insultec roof paint is thicker than ordinary paint coatings and is in effect a long-life, protective roof membrane resistant to water, salt spray, carbon dioxide, fungus and mould, extending the life of the roof by up to 15 years and markedly reducing the need for maintenance.
Unlike standard paints, this technologically superior, cost effective roof paint is also:
- Highly resistant to flaking, cracking and peeling
- An exceptionally flexible membrane, sealing old roofs and bridging gaps to 1.6 mm
- Has proven to be an outstanding alternative for asbestos encapsulation
Insultec has all the good looks of standard paint with none of the drawbacks. Technically, however, it is not paint, but a superior roof painting membrane, and must be applied strictly in accordance with the specifications to achieve maximum adhesion and impart outstanding results.
