When renovating, designing, and or constructing energy efficient buildings, one important design element to consider is how to reflect the solar rays that generate heat. Reducing the amount of sunlight your building absorbs, during those hot summer days, will assist in lowering the heat built up on all construction surfaces, in-turn will assist in reducing human discomfort, energy cooling costs and greenhouse emissions. Roofs, walls and pavements absorb heat! A buildings' thermal performance can be improved by making it more reflective to the suns solar rays. Reflecting a high percentage of the infrared solar rays, will assist in reducing the amount of heat being generated and absorbed, resulting in energy cost savings and the environmental impact. There is a "Certified Worldwide Award Winning" environmentally and sustainable solution that that can assist in reducing the heat build-up in buildings and provides a high rejection of infrared rays from the sun. The name is - Solacoat! Manufactured in NATA and APAS world's best practice facilities, this non-hazardous product assists in reducing heat from entering a building or home. What is Solacoat? Solacoat is a geoengineered coating method consisting of either a metal or porous primer and either a pastel or dark coloured Top Coat. The percentage of the rejected solar rays will vary depending on the actual colour being applied, and the percentage of the solar rays being rejected, are based on a newly coated roof either corrugated, flat or pitched. Solarcoat Dark Colours, provide less solar reflectivity then the Pastel Colours. Why use Solacoat Coatings? Cost effective - requires 1 x 50 micron thickness wet of Primer and 2 x 50 micron thickness wet topcoat applied to the suface. Assists in reducing green house gas emissions for air-conditioned buildings Assists in inhibiting rust, corrosion and thermal expansion, ensuring durability Assists in protecting properties and assets (heat sensitive) Assists in better energy efficiency and can assist in reducing air-conditioning costs Non-Toxic Environmentally safe and friendly Assists in conducive and liveable environments Easy to apply 10 year limited Guarantee Manufactured in NATA & APAS approved facilities.
