If you are
searching for cooler summers and savings on your electricity bill, you may be wondering
how heat reflective roof membranes work.

At Globalcote
we understand the full effects of the harsh Australian climate. And the damage
it can do to your roof – which is why we have formulated Infracote – an infrared
reflective coating.

Our team at Globalcote are always happy to offer knowledge on our products if you want to know more, read on or call our friendly team on 07 3286 4000 or enquire online.

Reflective
Roof Membranes

The roofs
surface captures enormous amounts of the sun’s radiation due to the large
surface area and angle of exposure. To prevent your home heating up, especially
if you have a darker coloured roof, you need to reflect the heat away from the
surface.

To combat
these rays, Globalcote has formulated a reflective roof membrane called
Infracote.

Infracote works by using technology to target the invisible infrared portion of
the sun’s radiation and reflect it away from the roof surface.

Infracote
Features and Benefits

Along with protecting
your roof against the sun’s harsh rays, Infracote also has several benefits
including;

- - Incorporation
    of nanotechnology
- - Reflecting infrared
    radiation
- - Reducing heat
    penetration
- - Reducing
    cooling costs
- - Reducing
    carbon footprint
- Reducing
  Urban Heat Island effect

Not only does
Infracote meet Australian standards, it is also Australian made and owned, environmentally
friendly and offers a 12-year material-only warranty.

Total Solar
Reflectance (TSR)

Total Solar
Reflectance (TSR) measures the reflective capability of a roof coating. This
can be influenced by weather events such as wind and cloud cover.

Maintaining solar reflectance is directly related to the surface remaining
clean. The surface of the roof remains clean with Infracote because the
technology in the membrane helps prevent dirt from sticking to the roof.
Instead, dirt easily comes off the roofs surface and assists in keeping the
solar reflectance at its most effective.

Rather than absorbing the heat into roof, Infracote offers up to 88%* of solar reflectance meaning your home stays cooler for longer.
