SkyCool brings patented cool roof coating technology enabling large reductions in air conditioning operating costs.

 

Better than all forms of insulation, this "heat reflective paint" is a roof coating which interacts with the sky to actually draw heat out of the building rendering its interior cooler than ambient air - even under extreme summertime heat loads. Read more . . .

 

We invite you to take a moment to review the benefits enjoyed by our customers, to explore its unique capabilities and to understand why this cool roof coating is so effective.


In 2000 the University of Technology, Sydney (UTS) conducted an analysis of this newly developed highly specialised thermal cool roof coating.
 
Key findings of that analysis, headed up by Professor Geoff Smith of the Department of Physics are:
 
"SkyCool has been proven by our tests to be generally capable of eliminating those heat gains through a roof associated with the heating of the roof by the incident solar radiation. Such gains dominate the heat inflow from traditional metal roofs even with batt-type insulation installed.

Designed as a "Heat Pump"

 
Designed as a cool roof coating to combat overheating in metal roofed industrial and commercial buildings, SkyCool can prevent excess heat produced by the sun from entering the building. In fact, it will even "pump out" some of the internal heat to produce an environment that is cooler and more comfortable than shaded external ambient air. Industrial users have recorded constant internal sub-roof temperature decreases of 20 to 40°C; bringing their work areas to around 14°C below ambient in the peak of summer. 
 
SkyCool is a specialised heat reflective thermal coating applied to the exterior of metal roofed buildings.
 
SkyCool Pty Ltd is a company of the new millennium, formed specifically to bring the SkyCool heat reflective thermal cool roof coating to the world community. We are very proud of the fact that SkyCool was developed in Australia and is attracting interest from around the world. Since its' establishment the company has had the opportunity to prove both the uniqueness and the roof cooling effectiveness of SkyCool from the tropical north of the country to the temperate zones 3,000 km to the south.
 
SkyCool Pty Ltd is headquartered in Sydney with its family of customers ranging from Cairns to Melbourne.
 
With growth accelerating in a climate of growing environmental concerns and escalating energy costs, the company is developing a strong position in the 400 million square metre Australian metal roofed commercial / industrial building market. We are now considered as the industry leaders in the cool roof coating marketplace in both technology and quality of service.
 

" Over the past eight months since the treatment has been completed we have seen a
definite reduction in the heat load of our building, and this has transferred itself into
much welcome monetary savings."

“ Energy reduction at Melbourne Airport is due to a range of projects and initiatives, so attributing % savings to any one item is not practical.  The combination of measures has resulted in a saving of ~25% in heating and cooling demand, of which we believe SkyCool is over half of the total.”
