Solar Reflective Paints

Reflective paint coatings will extend the life of your roof in three ways: by reflecting sunlight away from the surface and therefore reducing heat transfer into the building, by decreasing thermal contraction and expansion of the roof membrane, and by helping to manage and stop leaks. Solar reflective paint can help to lessen energy costs and simply improve the aesthetics of the roof.

Generally, white reflective coatings tend to be water-based and are more suited to new roofs due to their low cost and ease of use. Coo-Var Solar Reflective White Paint is a bright white acrylic coating that reduces heat build-up inside and outside the building. It can be used on concrete, wood, brick and other surfaces, and it’s an excellent choice as a solar reflective paint for flat roofs in good condition, but not recommended for roofs where standing water often gathers.

Light Reflective Paint for Roofs

As older roofs need increased waterproofing to keep watertight, aluminium roof paint tends to be used. As these products are usually solvent-based heat reflective paint, and are applied in thicker coatings, they are a more expensive option.

Coo-Var Solar Reflective Aluminium paint dissipates heat and sunlight. This bituminous aluminium paint is a solar reflective roof paint that can be used on brick, wood, concrete and stable felt. Coo-Var Solar is a silver reflective paint and is dry to the touch around three hours after application using a brush or roller.

GacoPro Roof Coating is an entirely silicone roof paint that can be used on flat and pitched roofs and guarantees an amazing waterproofing coating. GacoPro can be applied as a spray, by brush or roller and on most existing roof coatings, including plastisol, felt and asphalt. If you use GacoPro Roof Coating in Solar Reflective White, you can add a huge reduction in thermal shock to the waterproofing properties, as it reflects more than 85% of the sun’s rays, further extending the life of your roof, as well as saving energy.

Heat Reflecting Paint for Dark Roofs

Blackfriar Professional Solar Reflective Paint is available in two types, both specially developed to reduce heat gain on dark coloured roofs. Both can be applied to metal, concrete, brick, bitumen, among other surfaces. Specifically, for exterior use, they are self-priming and need two coats to give the best finish. The white reflective paint is water-based and great for adding reflectivity to new roofs whereas the aluminium finish is great for weathered and old roof surfaces.


Guarantees, Warranties and Life Expectancies for Large Roofing Projects

Our roof coating systems are designed to waterproof, protect and decorate almost all types of roofing materials. Roof coatings are often the most cost effective way to renovate a roof by allowing the user to extend the life expectancy without the need of a specialist contractor.

However, often larger roofing projects require some form of ‘guarantee’ for the client and/or building owner to provide peace of mind that the coating system applied to the roof will protect/waterproof the roof for an agreed period of time.

We offer systems that can be used year round to provide upto 5, 10, 15 and 25 years protection when applied by an approved contractor to flat, metal, pitched, felt, asbestos, corrugated roofs and more. Cold applied, seamless systems mean no need for heat or naked flames providing tough, elastomeric, waterproofing coatings that withstand thermal/structural movement.

We will visit your site and carry out a full inspection, write a tailored specification to meet your requirements and offer an approved contractor for the application. We will never offer a contractor that we have not trained and approved, all our contractors have successfully completed specific product training on the systems they apply and are monitored regularly to ensure the highest standard of quality is achieved.

By using one of our nationwide approved contractors for our products you enable yourself to take advantage of our guarantees, life expectancies and warranties. This means that if we say our system is going to last a certain amount of time, or perform in a certain way and it doesn’t, you’re covered.

If you’re a contractor and would like to become an approved installer of our systems please contact us on 0113 245 5450
