Solar Reflective Paints
Solar reflective paint helps prevent excessive heat build-up on rooftops by reflecting a high proportion of solar radiation, making it ideal for improving comfort in warmer months and lowering cooling costs. This type of coating is commonly used on garages, sheds, and utility buildings where temperature control is essential. It performs particularly well on felt and bitumen surfaces, which are frequent features of older buildings and flat roof paints are often formulated with these applications in mind.

Solar Reflective Paint
Solar reflective paint is specifically designed to reduce surface temperatures by reflecting solar radiation, making it a practical solution for buildings prone to overheating. Unlike conventional roof paints, which are often used for waterproofing or aesthetic renewal, solar reflective coatings provide a functional benefit by improving energy efficiency and thermal comfort. Their effectiveness is especially noticeable on flat or low-pitched roofs where prolonged sun exposure can significantly increase internal temperatures.
Although standard white paint offers some natural reflectivity due to its colour, it lacks the specialist pigments and durability required for exterior roofing applications. Similarly, heat resistant paint is formulated to withstand direct exposure to high temperatures, such as on stoves or chimneys, rather than reflecting solar energy. Solar reflective paint sits between these categories; engineered not just to endure UV and weathering, but to actively reduce heat absorption, improving comfort and reducing cooling demands without compromising on performance.
Solar Reflective Paint FAQs
What makes solar reflective paint different from standard roof coatings?
Unlike conventional coatings that focus on protection or appearance, solar reflective paint is formulated to reflect sunlight and minimise heat absorption. While traditional roof paints can help seal and protect surfaces, they typically lack the solar-reflective pigments that actively reduce surface temperatures.
Is white paint suitable as a substitute for solar reflective paint?
Although white paint does offer some reflectivity due to its light colour, it is not engineered for prolonged UV exposure or weatherproofing on external roofs. Solar reflective paint, by contrast, is developed to perform in demanding outdoor environments while delivering thermal efficiency.
Can I use aluminium-based coatings for solar reflection?
Certain aluminium paint finishes provide excellent UV reflectivity and are sometimes used for similar applications on metal surfaces. However, dedicated solar reflective paints generally offer higher solar reflectance index (SRI) values and enhanced compatibility with bitumen or felt roofs.
Will solar reflective paint help reduce indoor temperatures in summer?
Yes, by reflecting sunlight away from the roof surface, these coatings help prevent excessive heat build-up, which in turn reduces the amount of heat entering the building. This can lead to noticeably cooler interiors and improved comfort during warmer months.
Does solar reflective paint protect against high temperatures like heat resistant coatings?
Not in the same way. While solar reflective paint reduces temperature gain, heat resistant paint is made to withstand direct exposure to extreme heat sources. The two serve very different purposes, and should not be confused or used interchangeably.
