For every homeowner who has struggled to find ways to hold down the cost of air conditioning without sacrificing comfort, recent tests showed that exterior coating systems reduce a typical home’s air-conditioning costs by over 20 percent by actually keeping the home’s interior cooler. These coatings take advantage of the same heat reflective technology used by the military to reduce the heat signature of planes and other vehicles. Coating Systems dramatically reduce the load on a home’s air-conditioning system. And because they are reflective, they are less prone to fading – even dark colors stay darker longer than conventional paint technologies.”
In addition to energy savings, the tests showed that the coatings also can reduce stress or “building fatigue” by minimizing the expansion and contraction of the home’s exterior that occurs during extreme fluctuations in temperature. The coatings are 10 times thicker on average than ordinary paint, and can withstand an average of 40 years of exterior exposure. After being professionally applied, the product is warranted for as long as the homeowner owns the home.
