The coolest roofing solution for your estate – Plascon Nuroof Cool lowers interior temperatures by up to 8°C!

We all know that roofs take a beating from the sun, and especially so here in sunny SA! And summer 2022 has been marked by record temperature highs. With heat soaring up to 45 degrees in parts of the country, it has been near impossible to be outdoors at midday and stifling to remain inside.

Climate change predictions indicate that global temperatures are likely to increase further. According to NASA, the potential future effects of global climate change include more frequent wildfires and longer periods of drought in some regions. Experts say there is about a 40% chance of the annual average global temperature temporarily reaching 1.5°C above the pre-industrial level. Long-term, the heat problem isn’t going away…

Air-conditioning isn’t a viable solution for beating the heat – especially when power cuts and load-shedding continue; there’s a proposed Eskom 25% rate increase; and excessive use of coal-burning electricity is an environmental concern. If you’re managing an estate or cluster of homes, the need for cooling solutions that are affordable and sustainable are top of mind.

That’s where Plascon Nuroof Cool comes in. Plascon Nuroof Cool with Enviroshield™ formulation with UV protection reflects infrared light.

It boasts a Total Solar Reflectance of at least 30%, reducing interior temperatures by up to 8°C. Lower roof temperatures translate into cooler interior spaces – this means reduced air conditioning, lower energy consumption, substantial cost savings and increased comfort. The exterior surface is also cooler as the sun’s heating energy is scattered harmlessly back into space through the greenhouse gases. This not only helps our planet to stay cool, it also ensures that the roof colour and its beauty last longer.

If you’re coating a roof, this product is a no-brainer when facing up against roofing paint that doesn’t feature Plascon’s trademarked cooling technology. If your roof is not coated, the product’s potential to bring you power and cost savings by reducing the need for cooling, makes it a no brainer still, and the motivation to move from uncoated roof tiles to coated roof tiles is huge.

What adds to the attraction is that Plascon Nuroof Cool is so simple to use. It’s an easy application by brush, roller or airless spray. Because it’s water-based, it’s also easy to clean any equipment with water after use.

Plus, it’s not just for roofing. It can also be used on prepared cladding, galvanised garage doors, galvanised gutters and down pipes. All this comes with a 12-year quality guarantee, and the 12 standard colour options are long-lasting too.

Here’s to cooler roofs and happier estate residents!
