Now, you can restore your existing roof with beautiful dark colors — and still stay cool.
The Cool Roof movement in Hawaii has spread like a brush fire in August. Everywhere you look, you see elegant white roofs cooling down residents all over Honolulu. AC bills are often reduced by 25 percent or more. Roofs that used to be torn off and replaced are now being preserved from destructive UV and infrared rays for the lifetime of the structure.
But what happens if your homeowners association won’t allow a white roof?
Perhaps you have a million-dollar ocean view that is obscured by the glare from the first story roof below you. Or, maybe you just want to fit in with a neighborhood that has mostly dark-colored roofs. Does that mean you have to suffer through yet another hot summer?
You don’t have to.
Nxt Cool Coat, manufactured in Australia, has developed a tough, fade-resistant roof paint that keeps your roof cool even when using dark colors like charcoal grey or brick red. How do they do this? By using modern nanotechnology it developed: an infrared heat shield that keeps heat from penetrating the roof.
The company’s proprietary formula keeps its paint from fading in the sun, and can make your home’s interior as much as 12 degrees cooler. As a world leader in roof paint for 42 years, it has restored over 750,000 roofs worldwide and offers a 12 year warranty.
Monier tile roofs are the most popular roofs being restored worldwide because they are so expensive to replace when their protective glaze has burnt off. With Nxt Cool Coat, you can choose between three different primers that can be used to seal up the weathered tile, depending on how bad the surface is. If it is down to bare concrete, the company recommends its master primer to start of with. Then, you apply two finish coats, and you’re done.
Next are metal roofs. Whether they are corrugated panels or shingles, these are perfect candidates for a renovation. All panel laps are covered with a special butyl rubber tape to prevent leaks. Then, a metal primer is sprayed or rolled on to stop the rust. Finally, two coats of the Nxt Cool Coat are applied to create a hard, shiny infrared heat shield that resists dirt pickup, mold and mildew. It is enhanced with surface cleaning nanotechnology for improved dirt resistance and water beading. The result is a next-generation high-performance roof coating with superior durability that is heat reflective, 100 percent waterproof and has a guaranteed long-lasting beautiful appearance.
Even old asphalt shingles can be made new again with the Nxt Cool Coat. No need for expensive and messy roof tear-offs, which only use up our landfills. Choose from 36 beautiful colors or Brilliant White — always a best-seller during these hot weather spells.
