Cool Roofs

Cool Roof Coating

Cool roof coatings are white or special reflective pigments that reflect sunlight. They are like very thick paints that can protect the roof surface from ultra-violet (UV) light and chemical damage, and some offer water protection and restorative features. Cool roof coatings deliver higher solar reflectance and higher thermal emittance than standard designed roofing coats. Standard or dark roofs can reach temperatures of 150°F or more in the summer sun. A roof with a cool coating under the same conditions could stay 30-40 percent cooler and save energy and money. Highly reflective and anti-fungal by nature, the coating is easy to clean and offers excellent value for money. It is easy to apply via brush or rollers and offers excellent water resistance and superior crack bridging.

LuminX® is a water-based acrylic cross-linked elastomeric Cool roof coating. Its innovative advanced nanotechnology-based formulation offers high solar reflectivity and thermal emittance which significantly reduces the roof temperature where roofs get exposed to intense UV rays in the hottest weather. LuminX works on the cool roof coating technology principle. Its high SRI value ensures that it reflects the maximum amount of heat. Its unique formulation holds well with the surface and offers complete protection with a promise to keep the building cool.

Cool Roof is a roofing system that helps keep a building cool. It manages to do this via two methods:

• Reflect away a percentage of the visible and ultraviolet radiation from the sun. This reduces the heat gained by the building itself and is called high solar reflectance.
• Emit away the heat retained by the building. This helps in the building down quicker as compared to traditional materials and is called high thermal emittance.

Advantages of cool roof coating

· Lower Indoor Temperature

· Reduce indoor temperature, keeps your home cool.

· Reduce roof temperature

· Solar thermo-reflective property reflects the solar heat away from roof, resulting a cooler roof.

· Reduce the need of air conditioning, lower air temperature offers energy savings.

· High SRI Coating

· High SRI value indicates the greater degree of cooling by a cool roof coating system.

· All weather protection

· Eco friendly

· Weatherproof formula, its cross-linked elastomers offer water proofing and fills roof cracks.

· Minimum surface preparation needed
