Heat Reflective Metal Roof
Why replace your faded metal roof when you can restore it with Energy Star’s heat reflective coatings? Thousands of Australian homeowners have chosen Energy Star® to rejuvenate their metal roofs, making them cooler, tougher, and more resilient to harsh weather conditions. Our products come with a robust 15-year manufacturer warranty, reflecting our commitment to quality since 1978.
Benefits of Energy Star Coatings
Durability and Thickness: Energy Star coatings are fourteen times thicker than standard factory-applied polyester coatings, offering extreme durability and resistance to UV rays and fading. While typical pre-coated paint measures 15 to 20 microns, Energy Star coatings range from 230 to 262 microns.
Rust Protection: Rust is treated with a scientific blend of penetrating, oxygen, and moisture-displacing rust encapsulant. A specialty anticorrosive bonding primer is applied across the roof, providing robust adhesion and long-term protection against future corrosion.
Heat Reflection: Energy Star coatings reflect up to 50% of solar heat by selectively reflecting infrared light, significantly reducing heat absorption. This keeps the roof cool even in extreme heat, leading to cooler indoor spaces and energy savings by reducing reliance on air conditioning.
Application Process
Pressure Cleaning
The entire roof is cleaned with high-pressure water to remove contaminants and any chalked polyester coil coating in preparation for the primer.
Rust Encapsulant
Any rust or corrosion is treated with a specialized blend that displaces oxygen and moisture.
Anti-Corrosive Bonding Primer
A zinc-rich primer is applied for long-term corrosion protection with exceptional adhesion to the metal substrate.
Heat Reflective Membrane
The coatings are tough, water-resistant, fade-resistant, and provide an attractive finish that enhances the roof's appearance and longevity.
Enhancing Solar Efficiency
Roof Albedo Impact: Increasing the roof’s albedo by 0.1 can reduce surface temperature by 3.1-5.2°C.
PV System Efficiency: A decrease of 1°C in roof temperature can enhance PV system efficiency by 0.2-0.9%, as highlighted in a study conducted by UNSW Sydney in January 2022.
