Heat reflective roof coating available from Commercial Roofing

Heat reflective roof coating

Protecting the roof in the never ending battle against Mother Nature is not a small task. Each year millions of businesses’ experience infinite amounts of structural and roof damage from the elements.

Rain, water, and wind are just a few everyday occurrences that can do extensive damage to the roof in just a short amount of time.

While there is no way to prevent exposure to weather and normal wear and tear, having adequate energy saving insulation has been scientifically proven to extend the life of the roof.

Consisting of naturally occurring heat reflective pigments and polymers, the insulating roof coatings and paints, available from Commercial Roofing , are easily applied liquid membranes that block heat transfer and sun rays.

Available in a variety of colours and compositions, these coatings are well-known on commercial roofs due to their ease of application.

It simply is not enough to use just basic roof paint or roof insulation. The heat reflective paint is essential in reducing solar energy, reflecting dangerous UV rays, and serving as a protective barrier against water damage.

The roofs are exposed to extreme temperatures all year long, especially in locations with extreme seasonal temperatures.

In summer, the average temperature for the roof can easily exceed 150°F. Multiply the number of days that the roof is exposed to those temperatures, times the life of the roof and it is easy to see why the roof would need a heat reflective paint to protect it.

Exposure to UV rays over time causes the break down of the composition of the roofing paint and the roof itself. These UV rays are also a primary cause of high external and internal building temperatures.

Applying reflective roof insulation aids in not only lowering the roofs exposure to these rays, but also lowers the temperature of the building by utilising the specially formulated pigments to deflect the rays. As a result, users are left with lower electricity costs and environmentally friendly energy efficiency.

Many heat reflective products claim to extend the life of roof for any number of years, but Insultec has been scientifically proven to last at least 10 years without any maintenance necessary.

The Insultec paint is not a ceramic based product, and therefore is not subject to the loss of effectiveness that most ceramic products are.

Another important feature of Insultec paint is that is equally effective for metal roof insulation and flat roof insulation as well. Easily applied during roof installation, Insultec can also be added during regular maintenance and repair service.

Insultec heat reflective paints available from Commercial Roofing (3-Nov-2008)
Leaving a roof exposed to the elements is simply asking for trouble. If a heat reflective paint has not been used, then the average temperature of the roof during the summer might easily exceed 100 degrees. If the roof is hot, then so is the building and this can lead to a strong and expensive dependence on cooling agents like air conditioning. Having a proper protective membrane or coating on the roof like Insultec, can keep the building cool and the energy costs low. Insultec heat reflective paints are available from Commercial Roofing.
