Why use COLORBOND® Coolmax® steel when it costs more?
There are several advantages associated with using COLORBOND® Coolmax® steel. These include, but are not limited to, the following: • Air-conditioned commercial buildings may enjoy direct cooling benefits that typically pay back the costs many times over the life of the roof. • Single story commercial buildings without air-conditioning are likely to be cooler in hot weather improving thermal comfort within the building. COLORBOND® Coolmax® steel keeps the roof cooler leading to less thermal stress. Specifying COLORBOND® Coolmax® steel over lower solar reflectance roofing materials also may help mitigate the impact of urban heat islands and can favourably impact the lifespan of roofing materials, see our test study.
