For many businesses hot weather means uncomfortable inside temperatures, equipment breakdown and unhappy employees. Many cooling systems struggle to be effective in the large spaces of factories and warehouses. If they do pull the task off a massive electricity bill is often the result. Roof Cooling coatings are an effective and economic way to keep commercial and industrial buildings cool.

Over the course of a day, the ultra-violet and infra-red rays from the sun heat the roof of a building, and to a lesser extent, the external walls. Materials like concrete and brick take some time to heat up, usually some hours however once they are hot they stay hot. The time taken for them to cool down again is much longer. A few hot days and the roof of a building can be as hot as 55 degrees Celsius.

This heat has nowhere to go except inside the building. As a hot day progresses the heat from the roof and walls will transfer to the inside. The temperature of a roof is one of the biggest contributors to the interior conditions of industrial and commercial buildings.

Cooling down the roof can make a big difference to the inside temperature, and in turn your electricity costs. The best way to do this is with the application of a roof membrane. Heat reflecting paint establishes a membrane on the roof, it can sometimes be applied to external walls and other materials as well.

The membrane re-radiates between 85% and 95% of the suns rays, instead of being trapped within the building the heat is reflected back into the atmosphere. The result is a reduced internal temperature by as much as 47%. Cooling costs can be cut by as much as 61%.

Cooling your building this way is one of the most effective methods of insulation. Many businesses are looking for more economical solutions to keep their buildings cool. This method using heat reflective paint proves economical, it is a one-time cost that is many cases comes with a ten year warranty. With reflective coatings to the roof and external walls, inside temperatures are cooler which means more productive staff, better functioning equipment, no more spoiled stock and lower bills.

Much of the wear and tear that occurs to commercial as well as industrial buildings occurs due to the sun. A protective coating for you roof can drastically reduce this impact and prolong the life of your roof. This means less maintenance is required and more time will lapse before roof replacement is necessary.
