How Does Insultec Work
Insultec membranes and coatings have a remarkable ability to stop solar heat transfer. In fact Insultec can stop 90% of infrared and 85% of ultra violet light from entering a structure, re-radiating it back into the atmosphere. Insultec is applied to the external surface of a structure in fluid form and dries to form a solid protective finish. Typical uses and effects include:
- On metal roofing, to reduce expansion and contraction – a cause of structural damage which requires continual maintenance or leads to premature replacement.
- On concrete, to reduce expansion and contraction – a cause of masonry cracking.
- To reduce the reliance on mechanical means of cooling internal air space in buildings, factories and warehouses thus using less energy which will save you money. Where air conditioning is required, a smaller unit may be sufficient.
- You can increase productivity and performance, plus lower absenteeism with an improved working / living environment for your personnel and provide better conditions for customers.
- You can reduce stock losses caused by overheated warehouses.
Insultec can effectively reduce costs by extending structural life expectancy and by reducing energy consumption. Savings on air conditioning usage have been reported above 61%. Combined savings on labour, energy and structural repair make economic sense in today's conditions where money and cash flow is tight. Plus you are doing something positive for greenhouse gas emissions through less demand on electricity for air conditioning.
