If you’ve ever
touched a black car or roof in the middle of summer, you know just how hot it
can get.
But what you may not
realise is that there are other options in addition to insulation within the
roof cavity.
Heat reflective roof paint can help prevent the effects from the sun on your house to ensure that
you keep cool all year long.
If you’re building a
new house, looking to restore your roof, or simply want to improve the
liveability of your home, the team at Globalcote have the solution you need for
your home with Infracote – Infrared reflecting coating.
How to prevent excessive heating of your roof
More than 70% of the
colours used in suburban housing roofs are dark shades. To prevent the roof
space heating up in the first place, you need to reflect the heat away from the
roof surface.
While white and
light-coloured roofs are the best choice for reflecting the suns heat, they are
not always practical or, in some cases, may not be allowed by local council
planning regulations.
Infracote heat reflective paint is the
next best option as it works to target the invisible infrared portion of the
sun’s radiation which mean coated surfaces stay cooler and last longer.
How does Infracote work?
Specifically designed for Australia’s
unique climate, Infracote uses technology to reflect the sun’s radiation away
from the roof surface. Roof surfaces capture enormous amounts of the sun’s
radiation due to their large surface area and angle of exposure with some dark
coloured roofs reaching temperatures of over 90 degrees.
Maintaining solar reflectance is directly
related to the surface remaining clean. Infracote incorporates nanotechnology
so that the surface of the film cross-links around nano-particles to enhance
the coatings dirt-shedding capabilities.
