Solar Cool offers a wide range of roofs, roofing materials, roof coatings and also heat reflective paints.
The importance of sound commercial roofing construction has never been more vital than it is in today’s world of rising costs, frequent severe storms and sweltering heat.
Whether it is a major corporation or a small family owned enterprise, the construction of roof is vital to the foundation of the business.
The roof not only supports the underlying structure of the business, but it serves as protection from weather conditions such as extreme heat and cold and strong winds.
Aside from architectural design, there is no better way to ensure the durability and longevity of commercial roof construction, than by using quality materials including heat reflective paints, roof coatings, and roof paint.
Whether it is metal roofing or flat roofing construction, these products can prove to be invaluable in the preservation of investment.
Once the commercial roof is constructed, it is essential to preserve its original condition, and this includes taking preventative measures and regularly maintaining the roof throughout its life, both efforts will serve to avoid costly repairs in the long run.
One way to achieve both preservation and maintenance of roof is by using roof coatings. Roof coatings come in a variety of forms and are typically comprised of materials such as acrylic and a white pigment to make them reflective or opaque.
While the coatings are available in colour, the effectiveness is slightly reduced when colour is added. Another important quality of roof coatings are that they have an elastic quality, which allows them to readily adjust to weather conditions without incurring damage.
One widely used and highly effective roof coating is heat reflective paint, which allows the versatility of usage under various climate and temperature conditions, and on both metal and flat roofing construction.
Heat reflective paints aid in commercial roof construction by deflecting ultraviolet and infrared rays from roof surfaces, therefore reducing external heat damage such as buckling, expansion, corrosion, and rust.
The protective properties of the paint also enable people to conserve electricity by reducing the internal temperature of the building by almost 50%.
While these paints are most effective in light colours such as white, they are also available in a variety of colours, guaranteeing that the product is aesthetically pleasing as well as effective.
Heat reflective paints are used widely by both metal roofing contractors and flat roof contractors alike, and have been scientifically proven to add many years to the life of the roof.
