Your metal roof faces constant exposure to harsh elements, temperature swings and UV radiation that can reduce its lifespan and energy efficiency. ThermaCote’s thermal barrier coating system creates a protective shield that maintains your roof’s integrity while reducing your cooling and heating costs.
How Thermal Barrier Coatings Work on Metal Roofs
When left unprotected, your metal roof absorbs and transfers substantial heat into your building during hot weather. In cold conditions, it quickly releases indoor heat to the exterior. ThermaCote’s ceramic-based coating creates an effective barrier that limits this thermal transfer.
The coating bonds directly to metal surfaces at a microscopic level, creating a durable membrane that adheres permanently to your roof. This strong bond helps ThermaCote deliver consistent performance under extreme weather conditions.
Our advanced ceramic technology reflects solar radiation, reduces heat absorption, prevents moisture intrusion and protects against corrosion – extending your roof’s functional lifespan.
Key Benefits of ThermaCote for Metal Roofs
Temperature Control
Internal testing shows that buildings with ThermaCote-protected roofs maintain steadier temperatures throughout the day. Your HVAC system won’t have to work as hard to compensate for heat gain through the roof, and you’ll notice more consistent comfort levels throughout your facility.
Energy Cost Reduction
Your building will require less energy for cooling in summer and heating in winter. Our case studies show that facility managers typically report lower utility bills within the first month after application, with continued savings accumulating over time.
Corrosion Prevention
ThermaCote creates a protective barrier that keeps moisture from reaching your metal roof surface. The coating contains microscopic pores that allow any trapped moisture to escape while preventing new water from getting in – stopping rust and corrosion before they start.
Extended Roof Life
Your roof faces daily attacks from UV rays, extreme temperatures and moisture. ThermaCote shields these damaging elements, helping your roof maintain its structural integrity well beyond standard replacement intervals.
Application Process
When you choose ThermaCote for your metal roof, our certified professionals follow a proven process to ensure optimal results:
- Surface preparation and cleaning using industry-standard methods
