The Aluminium Solar Reflective Paint is a special type of paint designed for roofs. It acts as a light/heat reflector on your roofs dismissing heat gain.
This aluminium coating provides a high level of protection against solar degradation and heat gain whilst maintaining other key factors. The reflective paint is suitable for use over bituminous coatings, ages asphalt and primed steel.
As a clear alternative, it's a superior version to chippings when applied in a two coat application. This reduces heat build-up and gives a reflective finish to bituminous coatings and primed steel. It can also be used for the refurbishment of aged steel roofing. In terms of application, this can be done using by a brush or mohair roller.
When in the application stage, make sure you apply 2 coats, but only apply the second coat once the first is dry. It is best do to this as soon as possible. Do not apply when rain, frost or overnight dew are expected before the coating is fully dry, as bronzing of the surface may result if these conditions are not observed. Only apply when it's suitable for application ideally.
Over bituminous surfaces apply the thinnest coat necessary to obliterate the black colour of the bitumen coating for the first coat. The second coat should also be thin. Avoid the formation of pools.
These tips are not 100% needed but they will help you a lot better by giving you a smoother finish.
