COOL Roof with InfraCOOL™ Technology
A sustainable solution that reflects and emits the sun’s solar radiation to provide a cooler surface
InfraCool Heat Reflective Coatings
We are committed to continually improving the environmental footprint and sustainability of our products. InfraCOOL Technology reflects and emits both the visibile or “colored” light and invisible Infrared light which accounts for over 50% of the sun’s total light energy to provide a much cooler building surface. A cooler surface means less heat penetration resulting in cooler accupancy zones which lowers the use of energy- translating in cost savings and reduced associated greenhouse gas emissions.
The Need for COOL Roofs
Sustainable building design and energy efficient living leads to environmentally responsible economic growth. Cool Roofs offer us one of our most simple and effective Global Warming mitigation strategies.
Roof surfaces represent 20-25% of the built environ and act as “Solar Radiators” so much so that around 93% of a building’s HEAT GAIN can be attributed to radiant energy (meaning the sun’s rays converted to heat after absorption). In Australia, where the prominent source of a buildings heat gain is Radiant Sunlight and up to 93% of a buildings heat gain in summer is attributable to radiant heat. Reflective COOL Roofs should be a key focus in combating heat gain.

Sustainable Opportunity for Residential Properties
It doesn’t have to be WHITE to be COOL…
InfraCOOL® Technology maximises reflection of infra-red radiation, even dark colours can be made COOLER. InfraCOOL® Charcoal, for example can be up to 16ºC COOLER than conventionally formulated Charcoal without changing the visual colour.
