Solar Reflective Roof Coatings
What is SRI?
Solar Reflectance Index combines two surface properties: solar reflectance (how much solar energy is reflected) and thermal emittance (how effectively absorbed heat is released.) A higher SRI generally indicates a surface that stays cooler in sunlight.
A Cooler Roof Can Support a Better Building
One roof coating system can protect the asset while supporting energy, comfort and sustainability objectives.
Where the greatest benefit is likely
- Large exposed roof areas. Warehouses, distribution centres, factories, retail units and other low-rise industrial buildings.
- High summer heat gain. Sites with dark roofs, direct solar exposure, limited shading or heat-sensitive internal operations.
- Mechanical cooling. The financial opportunity is usually stronger where air-conditioning operates for long daytime periods.
- Planned roof refurbishment. Solar-reflective performance can be considered alongside roof protection and waterproofing requirements.
