Discover how this simple solution allows you to refresh the buildings and to reduce their energy consumption and carbon footprint. In this article, we will answer all your questions :
The cool roofing refers to the application of a paint reflective specific on the roofs to reduce the heat absorption. Reflecting up to 90 % of the solar radiation, this solution allows you to maintain a lower temperature inside the buildings. It is especially effective for improving the thermal comfort and decrease the energy consumption and thecarbon footprint.
A reflective paints and captures less heat than a traditional roof. Its reflectance index solar (SRI) high prevents the accumulation of heat and limit the transmission of heat in the building. This results in a reduction of cooling needs and an increase in the duration of life of the white roof treaty.
These figures are only valid for the CoolRoof of Cool Roof France, the european leader of cool roofing. There areother companies of cool roofing which the numerical results are different.
The cool roofing is compatible with several types of surfaces :
Only the membranes in PVC, EPDM or TPO are not compatible.
Yes, although its main advantage is the reduction of heat of the summer, the white roof also maximizes the thermal insulation in the winter by reducing extreme temperature variations.
Yes ! The coating, Cool Roof is eco-designed, VOC-free (Volatile Organic Compounds), and is comprised of oyster shells recycled. It contributes to the reduction of urban heat islands and is part of a sustainable approach.
The CoolRoof sapplied manually : with a roller or a paint gun high pressure electric or thermal, says “airless”.
The cool roofing nis not mandatory, but many regulations to encourage its adoption, including :
The Decree Tertiary is a decree ofapplication of the law Elan of 2019. He gives thegoal to reduce the energy consumption of buildings 40% by 2030, 50 per centby 2040, and 60 per centby 2050.
The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive is a directive of theeuropean Union adopted in 2024. It aims to raise the requirements of postponement option extra-financial at the level of the postponement option management for large companies. Althoughit is affected by the Omnibus Law of 26 February 2025, itremains a standard major regulatory for years to come.
A coating, Cool Roof well-maintained lasts between 10 and 15 years , thanks to its UV-protection and anti-fouling. Cool Roof now offers a range of services for the maintenance of the performance of the coating.
The products Cool Roof are available through specialty distributors and can be applied by professionals to ensure optimal performance.
