Be Innovative and Keep Your Cool This Summer
by Resi Mortgage
Want an innovative way to keep out the heat this summer? Solacoat is fast becoming an easy, cost-effective and environmentally-friendly alternative to air-conditioning - not just for the savings to the hip pocket.
Solacoat is heat reflecting water-based acrylic paint (so it is non-hazardous) and applies like normal paint to dramatically reduce the level of solar heat entering your home.
No matter how extreme the temperature, Solacoat is guaranteed to cut the absorption of heat through your roof and walls down by at least 20 percent.
Unlike conventional insulation, such as fiberglass or wool batts, which trap heat and allow it to build up in the ceilings and walls, Solacoat stops the heat from entering in the first place.
Tests have shown that the surface temperature of galvanized iron can be reduced by over 40˚C with Solacoat resulting in a drop of up to 20˚C within the home.
The paint features special membrane additives that help reflect infra-red rays from the sun, reducing internal temperatures, reducing air cooling costs and reducing greenhouse gas emissions making it environmentally friendly.
A cooler house means less air-conditioning. Solacoat could save you up to $450 a year by reducing your air-conditioning use by 40%. That is a whopping 4 tones less green house gas emissions that the ozone has to deal with.
Available in a range of colours it is easy to apply, inhibits rust and corrosion and is Australian owned and manufactured to NATA and APAS standards – ensuring you can keep your cool this summer.
