Radiant Roof Paint
4 3 out of 5 stars 13.
Radiant roof paint. In the above chart look at how much energy makes the earths surface in the visual spectrum range. Other kinds of radiant barriers combine reflective materials usually aluminium foil with materials like plastic films cardboard and kraft paper. The best performing of these paints can block up to 75 of the heat coming through the roof deck. Be sure to find out the percentage of heat blockage for any product before you purchase.
Breathable coating adapts to extreme temperatures with excellent reflectivity and rain resistance after 2 hours. The most effective radiant barrier sheathing is a structural roof sheathing panel which consists of an osb panel with heat reflecting foil laminated to one side. Radiant barrier paint performed the worse providing a heat decrease in the conditioned space of around 19. Get it as soon as tue sep 22.
The durable coating resists uv radiation and reflects heat from the sun for superior energy savings and can be applied over spray applied polyurethane foam aged single ply roofs including pvc epdm tpo hypalon aged acrylic coatings concrete asphalt built up roofs granulated modified bitumen metal rv and trailer roofs and over existing silicone roof coatings. Lo mit is a silver colored non thickness dependent low emissivity paint which may be used in almost any application where infrared heat reflectivity or diffuse light reflectivity is required. When the paint is installed correctly it will reflect about 75 of the radiant heat and can be a very good product. The best radiant barrier spray spray is only available to commercial contractors and is an environmentally safe water based low e paint called heatbloc 75 radiance e 25 or lo mit.
High solar reflectance white paint reduces direct sun energy absorption albedo hence a cool roof energy saving claim is supported. 4 8 out of 5 stars 4. Radiant barrier attic paint reflective roof coating low emissivity coating interior radiation control coating lo mit radiant barrier coating lo mit is a specially formulated low emissivity coating that closely mimics the optical and thermal properties of aluminum foil. 5 gallon worlds best white reflective coating waterproof multi purpose cool roof rv roof metal roof flat roof mobile home clay leed qualified easy to apply no voc.
Installation requires wearing proper clothing and a face mask due to the paint fumes. The most effective radiant barrier solution based on this study was radiant barrier foil stapled to the rafters. Foil backed sheathing came in 2nd with just under 33 heat reduction. Lo mit i is an energy star certified radiant barrier roof coating that is formulated to reduce roofing surface temperatures at low cost.
