COOL MY ROOF

Certainly no one can argue that we all have to try to do what we can with regard to the environment, and yet at the same time we find ourselves consuming more amounts of power, and battling the elements and outside conditions the best we can.

However, the good news is that there is now a type of paint which can make a great difference to the environment and  in effect can actually save you money!

How much do you spend on cooling and air conditioning your home?

The answer is probably more than you’d like to!

- So what about halving that bill?
- Or even wiping out the need for air conditioning completely?

This sounds like a grand claim, but many homeowners and businesses have already starting reaping the benefits of significant cuts to A/C bills (between 47% - 60%) and in some cases eliminating the need for A/C to be turned on.

How is this possible? ..............The answer is heat reflective membrane (thick paint). It can stop 90% of infrared and 85% of ultra violet light from entering a structure.

Solar heat transfer commences with the buildup of heat, caused by infrared and ultra violet rays, in the roofing system and to a lesser extent in the external walls. As the heat builds it is transferred to the interior of the building where it remains trapped until long after the sun has set.

Where batts and foam only slow down the heat transfer, our heat reflective roof membranes block infrared and ultraviolet rays effectively stopping heat build up at the source.

In effect the ‘Hotter it gets, the better is works!’ It’s the infra-red rays that cause the heat in your house, and so by cutting down the majority of these entering, you cut down the heat in your home. And the temperature is likely to be far more comfortable and the electricity bills much, much smaller.

So there are so many costs being saved over the long term, including a reduced need to renew paint, a reduced need to maintain, strengthen and repair the structure of the building and reduced energy costs through A/C savings.

It certainly makes sense to save every cent possible in today’s financial climate and at the same time save the environment from global warming and the over use of non-renewable energy sources (excesses electricity bills).

So there is no doubt that as far as paint goes, you can’t beat our heat reflective coatings.
