COOL-FX, A WHITE ROOF COATING
EXTREMELY HOT DAYS IN SUMMER
Nowadays, there can be periods in summer when the weather becomes so sweltering that the stifling heat easily manages to penetrate inside. The hot air hangs like a leaden blanket over a house, stable or factory, resulting in rising temperatures inside the building. Periods like this are becoming more frequent every year, making solutions for such conditions increasingly desirable.
WHAT IS WHITE ROOF COATING?
Especially in buildings where the roof is black, the warming of this roof, and thus the building, can be significant. The black colour of the roof absorbs light and heat from the sun. Cool-FX is a white roof coating. It makes the roof white, thus reflecting light and heat.
The theory is simple, but the effect is substantial! Thanks to Lumiforte's years of experience with coatings, Cool-FX has been developed to the point where it works perfectly for the desired period of the year!
WHY A WHITE ROOF COATING?
HOW DO I APPLY WHITE ROOF COATING COOL-FX?
1. Stir Cool-FX thoroughly before use
2. Mix Cool-FX with clean water, according to the desired concentration, to a uniform paint
3. The spray-ready coating can be sprayed with standard spraying equipment. Cool-FX can also be applied with a paint roller
4. Over time, the coating will gradually wear off the roof
WHAT DOES IT COST?
A bucket of Cool-FX can be purchased from one of our distributors. Depending on what price they charge, a 20 kg bucket costs between €65 and €75. How much area can be treated with one bucket depends on the type of roof. Below is an overview:
