I painted the roof of my 5m x 2.2 metre colourbond work shed with Solacoat. With a maximum 2.8 ceiling height, it had been near impossible to be in the shed after 10am in the recent summer heat wave conditions we experienced. Solacoat has made all the difference. Can now work there anytime of the day.

The difference is truly great! If you know anyone who needs their roof painted with your products I am happy to help them!
Applied the paint on the weekend and despite some scepticism we are very excited with the resultant improvement in temperature. Thanks again. It’s really cooled the house down.

I must mention that I am a very happy customer after using Solacoat on the roof on my canopy. I have an aluminium purpose built canopy on the back of my Land cruiser and I was always concerned about the high temperature inside on a sunny day. Since painting the roof, just the roof, the temperature inside is definitely less than before; my laptop is not melting and the heat does not rush out the door upon opening.
A great product that was easy to apply and is also easy to re-apply when needed.
Thanks.

I have an Iron roofed building in the lower Flinders Ranges, South Australia. In October 2012, I applied SOLACOAT to the corrugated iron roof. Prior to the application, on very hot days, the temperature in the hut was very similar to the outside temperature. Candles would melt and it was not comfortable to be inside. Since applying the SOLACOAT I have recorded temperatures approximately 10oC cooler inside the Hut. If 38oC outside, it is about 28oC inside, making it noticeably cooler to step inside.
I found the SOLACOAT applied very well with my Wagner Project115 Airless Sprayer.
I have no hesitation in recommending this product and would use it again as a quick, easy and cost effective way to cool.

Your service, information and communication was outstanding and we look forward to utilizing the product elsewhere around our Retirement Village to continue to offer the best service to our elderly residents.

Thanks for the solacoat. My contractor has painted the roof and there has been a significant difference in room ambient temperature. Before the coat, the temperature within the room with an outside temperature of 35 degrees has been often unbearable and even with air conditioning at full; the room temperature was never cool.
Ever since the coating has been applied, the room temperature is now very pleasant without air conditioning. I am more than happy for any of your prospect customers in Singapore to drop me an email to assure them that your product works if I could be of any help.
Thanks again for the solacoat.

Solacoat is definitely a worthy product. Before it was applied to the metal roof of our LT control room, we needed air conditioners and air coolers to bring down the termperature. It was hard to work in some areas because the roof radiated heat even after sunset. Servvel Lubricants & Chemicals applied Solacoat to the roof. The temperature of the metal roof on the internal side was surprisingly 20 degrees lesser than the uncoated one! For the warmer years to come, we would recommend Solacoat, which is a perfect solution.
Excerpts from Customers Letters since 2006
You always hear the good stories, but after using Solacoat Insulation Paint, I was truly impressed. When I get home in the afternoon the place is cool to walk into.
Also as you know the paint being water based, this makes a big difference in cleaning up after yourself as well as cost in cleaning agents. Anyway it is a great product.

On the day Peter was painting our shed with Solacoat it was about 40 degrees. We were checking the temp in the shed during the day while painting – it was about 38 degrees at the start – when half the shed was painted we checked the temp – still 38 degrees in the unpainted area but amazingly enough 28 degrees in the painted area.
When the shed was completely painted the degrees had dropped to an amazing 26 degrees. We can now shear & crutch our sheep in the middle of summer and we have happy shearers and workers as it makes the working environment much more pleasant.

It is our pleasure to inform you that we are pleased we had Solacoat and Rail Primer applied to the roof of the Resort 3 years ago.
The application of Rail Primer was the complete answer to the spread of rust on our roof. This is mainly caused by our proximity to the sea. Since the application of your Rail Primer no rust has occurred – It has saved us many thousands of dollars to replace the roof.
When the primer application was complete Solacoat was applied. We noticed the coolness in the top floor immediately. The kitchen area adjacent to our Restaurant is now pleasant to work in and air conditioning costs reduced.
We strongly recommend your products and commend your professional attitude to our problems.

Having a ducted air conditioner working to overcome the hot Qld summer heat was not sufficient given the extreme temperature between the roof and ceiling. I had installed 3 wind driven ventilators and one power driven extraction fan with eave vents to reduce the temperature. After all this I was very disappointed.
A ceiling remote temperature probe showed temperatures of 55c-58c on many hot days. The request for a better air conditioner to cope with the heat seemed to be the only way. This meant a big installation cost and further increases to the running cost, which were already high.
Then I researched Solar Coat on the Internet. Having done my own testing with samples of the product, I had the entire roof painted. Since that day I have not had another complaint from the family about the air conditioning.
Current temperatures do not exceed 38c. A huge reduction of 20c since Solar Coat was applied.
A big thank you Solar Coat for saving a problem and making the roof look fantastic. I strongly recommend this investment to save cooling costs and improve the value of any home or building.

Having come home to a closed house after a 30 degree top temperature for the day, our house was pleasantly cool, with no need to turn on the air conditioning or open all the windows.
I am looking forward to the summer with the knowledge that even if we have a power failure, we will still have an acceptable level of comfort in the house due to our roof coating.
When it was being coated, the roof temperature was 62 degrees on the uncoated side, with a temperature of 29 degrees on the treated side.
If anyone would like to call me to confirm this letter, feel free to do so.

The options put forward was a new air conditioning plant or to pain the roof with Solacoat paint. Because of the price difference they went for the Solacoat.
The office now hasn’t been above 23c and the thermostat is set on 22c. The tenant has noted the reduction in the running cost of the air conditioning system.

During my 12 months experience with Solacoat I have painted many roofs on the North Coast, including my own. Every client has been amazed by its effectiveness and the drop in temperature has been quite surprising to all.
My experience with our own home has seen a reduction of around 6-8 degrees. The comfort level of our home has improved dramatically.
This is definitely a product that will change the way you think about insulating your home. It will not only make your home look great, it will protect your roof and improve your living standards in your home.
Solacoat is one product that I would thoroughly recommend for any of my clients, and I am looking forward to the future with this product.

The Solacoat has kept inside below 30c in the warmest rooms (kitchen) & today it’s 36c out and 26c in the kitchen @ 3 pm. How’s that!

I had cause to go up in the ceiling space recently around 11am. It was very hot outside and I was surprised how cool it was under the roof. I had no hesitation in recommending this product to others in Tennant Creek and there are now many satisfied users here. Thank you for a great product and money saver.

What I can report is as follows under present conditions (low 30s ambient) surface temp of overhead fuel tank went from 50c to 30c , fuel inside tank appears to have stabilized temp at 30c down from near 50c even higher at times of higher outside ambient temps, this drop in temp has some real benefits in my application, and I believe this product would work in a similar fashion on pipelines (really only long tanks to a certain extent).
My experience with our own home has seen a reduction of around 6-8 degrees. The comfort level of our home has improved dramatically.
Product went on well and certainly looks good, no problems with adhesion, but care was taken to remove any contamination from spilt diesel on tank surface.
At this stage, I believe the product has benefits in this application and many others in the agricultural industry. I am happy to elaborate further, with some ideas. I am most interested in agricultural uses for the product. When time permits I will forward some photos of the tank and surrounds.

Solacoat was applied to the main building which includes the workshop and the Atco building and we found it to be much cooler, especially where the mechanics work. During the summer months it was unbearable to work in this area but now with Solacoat applied the temperature has been reduced dramatically and is therefore quite tolerable. The increased productivity and decreased cooling costs have covered the initial cost of the Solacoat many times over.

I have been painting roofs for a long time, over 20 years. In this time, I have used many brands of paint. In my experience, solacoat paint, from Coolshield, is by far the best quality paint I have ever used. The texture of the paint is smooth, it has no impurities, and is very easy to spray or apply. Solacoat has very good coverage and excellent gloss. This product is high quality paint and I would recommend it highly, there is nothing else out in the market that can surpass it.

The operation of the Centre’s air conditioning units have improved substantially and for a Centre of this size any effective efficiency generation is always seen as a positive.
