Heat Reflective Paints work by reflecting the suns energy, keeping the roof surface cool. Unlike traditional insulation that is used inside, that attempt to hold out the heat from the already super heated roof surface.

There is a full range of big brand Heat Reflective Coloured Paints available on line at CoolPaints.com.au.  Not all these products are the same, nor are they manufactured in the same place or by the same company. Heat Reflective Coatings (Aust) Pty Ltd has researched the market carefully and chosen what are believed to be the three best Australian products. Each manufacturer has a small colour range, and combined we bring you a total of 60 colour choices available here on line at CoolPaints.

Each manufacturer has developed a unique method of providing solar reflectivity. The methods are predominantly different between them, and the details of ingredients are all classified trade secrets.  So when choosing a heat reflective paint supplier, research the supplier claims and their history; most importantly the warranty. All products at CoolPaints have a minimum 10 year warrantee, and guarantee up to 80% of reflectivity and gloss after 10 years! You can read detailed descriptions of the manufacturers and their products when you obtain a quote on line; just select <Tell me More> once you have selected your favorite colour.

It is known that Heat Reflective Paints consist of co-polymer compounds containing naturally occurring pigments that reflect radiant heat.  All of these products available are user friendly water based acrylics. 

Between manufacturers, the thickness of the finished product varies considerably. From 40 microns (similar to a two coats of standard paint) and others are as thick as 350 microns.   This gives an idea of the vast difference between the technologies. The thicker coatings finish as a highly suitable waterproof elastomeric membrane.

All products although somewhat different in the technologies, they are similarly developed by Australian Engineers, chemists, scientists and experts. They are all independently tested, proven and guaranteed to work.

Heat Reflective Coatings (Aust) p/l caution against the use of imported additives to standard paints that claims to make the paints insulate. Most often these additives (and some other cheap reflective paints) use early technology such as glass bead fragments or older ceramic sphere technology; this can lead to loss of reflectivity as much as 30% in the first 12 months.
