thermal insulation
Introduction
thermal insulation
Matrix cool roof thermal insulation aids in protecting the facilities by reflecting more solar radiation and absorbs minimal heat than the standard designed roofs. With industrial evolution, Cool roofs are protecting a bunch of roofing sheets with a simple and seamless coating and acts as an ideal alternate to total roof replacement.
Installing a new roof can cost millions especially when it comes to the facilities that are expected for a long run. And it would be distressing when the new roof fails due to many unavoidable reasons like weather, improper installation, no maintenance or fastened ageing. Listed out are a few major causes and effects of Roof degradation.
Solar Radiation
Solar Radiations are the root cause for thermal shocks and stress. It contributes to a quick expansion and contraction of the roofs that results in major roof failures. Higher-energy UV rays tears up the chemical components in the roofing membrane that leads to warping and cracking under prolonged exposure. Though most roofing sheets are engineered to withstand harmful radiations, the intense exposure can speed up the ageing process and premature failure of the sheets.
Overheating

If you have a manufacturing unit or a warehouse, the wrong type of roof or a damaged roof can make the summer tremendously hot, forcing a thermal discomfort to the employees and damaging the stored assets inside the premises with higher inside temperature, triggering your HVAC system to work extra-time to maintain a good ambience. Subjected to continuous exposure to UV radiation, the roofs can be overlooked with a steep rise in the roof temperature that degrades the roofs drastically, damages them with holes or cracks and fastens roof ageing.
Water leakage
No one likes to find water leaking from the roofs. Due to rapid changes in the weather conditions in the Middle East, damaged roofs promote water penetration leaks due to increased condensation and moist formation further increasing the roof and inside temperature. It also enhances cold bridge formation that allows air circulation between the roof layers, drawing additional solar heat radiation through the pin holes, bore holes, cracks from the outer sheets. With no perfect sealant, oxidization and rusting occurs expeditiously causing further damages to the roof.
Heat Island Effect

Heat Island effects occurs at the densely concentrated facilities or industries that are constructed closer to each other. An increase in the usage of air conditioners in those facilities releases waste heat in to the atmosphere. With lack of space for the area to expand, the hot air lingers in and between the facilities that contributes to atmospheric heat island effect. This in turn leads to increased energy cost (e.g., air conditioning), air pollution levels, and heat related health issues.
Considering all these factors, Matrix Cool Roof Coating are designed to help to combat all the major destructing factors and protect the roofs from water leakage and overheating.
ONE SOLUTION TO ADDRESS THREE MAJOR ROOFING PROBLEMS – WATER LEAKAGE, OVERHEATING, ROOF AGEING
How does it work?
Matrix Cool Roof coatings are meticulously formulated and locally made in the Middle East to adapt well to the extreme weather conditions. With higher reflective and higher insulative properties, they are designed to reflect more radiation while absorbing less heat. Compared with other cool roofs, Matrix has a higher albedo or solar reflectance that reflects more radiation back into the atmosphere while absorbing minimal heat that helps to experience BIG SAVINGS on the air-conditioning costs and utility bills.
Does Color matter?
Just like wearing light colored clothes in hot summer, historically, a light-colored roof coating performs better than the colored roofs at cooling the building. However, with advancement in technology, Matrix evolved colored cool roofs that offers the same benefits as the white ones. So, never worry about plain looks, customize your roof colors with Matrix’s customized solution.
Why Matrix Cool roofs are so effective?
Matrix is the solitary combination of waterproofing and heat insulation system with which one can expect to consume less energy spent on their air conditioning expenses with a lot of other valuable benefits.
As a final note, protecting your facilities by installing Matrix Cool Roofs is an ideal solution for any business to conserve energy making the workplace more comfortable for the employees, with reduced carbon footprints.
