The primary purpose of coating and sealing is to secure aesthetics. Moreover, the proper selection and application of coating can make all the difference when it comes to energy use at home or the office.

Spray coating is an effective way of protecting and preserving the roofing
membrane. Using an airless gun, the paint solution is atomised and spread
using a high-pressure nozzle. This is done for the even spreading of paint
across the surface of the substrate; it creates a reflective or glossy finish.

3. Glossing the Light Off
Solvent-based sealers are the best choice
for sealant if you are looking for roofing
technology those results in a cooler home.
Solvent-based sealers use nano particle
polymers and solvent to form a
continuous, clear solution. After the
solvent evaporates, the polymer chains
are drawn closer together and are
fortified. This is what makes a sealed
concrete surface appear glossy.
Sealers with acrylic solution are fully
transparent, repel UV rays and do not
undergo photochemical breakdown unlike
UV-absorbent polymers. As these wet out
and penetrate concrete surfaces
thoroughly, it gives the underlying
concrete a glossier finish.
Reflectivity and Energy Efficiency
A higher level of reflectivity in the paint
can make all the difference when it comes
to the building’s energy consumption and
cost. All materials conduct certain
amounts of heat, and the roofs, whatever
material they are made of, are not
immune to this. With sealers, the amount
of heat penetrating the structure tends to
bounce.

4. Specifically developed coating solutions can reduce outdoor
surface temperature and help minimise the energy needed to
maintain a comfortable indoor temperature. These “cooling” paints
can reduce incoming heat by up to 5˚C.
Highly reflective sealers redirect the sun’s heat back into the
atmosphere and away from the building. This retains the building’s
indoor temperature and cuts costs related to energy consumption.
Spray paint roof sealers that create highly reflective and glossy
finish indeed add not only to aesthetics, but to energy efficiency
as well. With the Australian standards for energy efficiency, this
cool roof solution is one thing every home builder must not miss.
