Insultec Metal Roof Insulation Reduces Air Conditioning Usage by up to 61% from Solar-Cool

Metal Roof Insulation Counteracts Critical Environmental Issues.

In a report addressing Rating Energy Efficiency Of Non-Residential Buildings compiled by Sustainable Solutions Pty Ltd for the Sustainable Energy Development Authority, the Australian commercial sector is cited as generating in excess of 35 million tonnes of carbon dioxide each year causing major environmental concern.

With the commercial sectors use of energy growing rapidly each year, with cooling costs being a significant contributor to overall consumption, non-residential buildings are the chief source of electricity drain during the peak demand period of summer.

Insulating your commercial premises with roofing insulation to gain maximum thermal efficiency is the obvious solution to counteract these alarming figures. Many businesses know and understand this but are unsure of the best methods to use to achieve maximum results within, sometimes strict, budgetary constraints.

A Durable, Economical Alternative That Also Cuts Cooling Costs by up to 77%!

When thinking about metal roof insulation, most people think of foam sprays, insulation batts, glass wool blankets, roof ventilation and the like. While these products are strong in there own right, they only provide a part of the solution.

Insultec metal roof coating does what no other product can do. By re-radiate a staggering 90% of solar infrared and 85% of ultraviolet rays back into the atmosphere, and through its exceptionally low solar heat absorption rate, virtually no heat is absorbed into the metal roof in the first place. The small amount of heat that penetrates the interior is easily taken care of by roof vents.

You Can Experience Reduced Internal Temperatures of Up To 20.70 C

Imagine experiencing such dramatic reductions in internal temperature that air conditioning usage is either significantly reduced or is completely unnecessary.

Many companies who have applied Insultec report just such results including Mobil Refining Australia Pty Ltd. They recorded an internal temperature of 330 C for the area treated by Insultec and 510 C for an untreated area - on a day when the external air temperature was 320 C!

Heat Reflective Insulation that Prolongs the Life of Your Roof

Insultec is applied with the ease and convenience of a metal roof membrane but is in fact a thicker, protective co-polymer membrane, resistant to carbon dioxide and other airborne pollutants, salt spray, fungus, mould and water.

The exceptional durability of Insultec has been proven to extend the life of commercial metal roofing by up to 15 years with the surface appearing the same as on the day of application. With many commercial areas covering in excess of 20,000 square meters, not only will you experience superior benefits over and above standard insulated roofing products, you can also capture exceptional savings on the cost of maintenance.
