Reflective Paint – Solar Heat Reflective Paint From Insultec Helps Contribute To The Reduction In Global Warming

Insultec, heat reflective paint when applied to roofing areas lowers the inside temperature of buildings, which means less use of electricity to run cooling systems which in turn will contribute to the reduction in global warming. A win, win situation for everyone.

Developed in Australia this unique composite, forms a membrane which is capable of re-radiating 90% of infrared and 85% of ultra violet rays back into the atmosphere.   Temperature readings on the underside areas of roofing not treated with the heat reflective paint were recorded at 55.8oC whereas areas under the same roof at the same time recorded temperature readings of 38oC.

Other tests have recorded a rise in temperature of only 1oC on the surface treated with the heat reflective roof paint and in the same conditions a rise in temperature of 19oC on the untreated surface.

The amount of heat re-radiated back into the atmosphere, means there is less heat left on the roof surface to be conducted through the roofing material into the air, or even insulation material on the interior of the roof.  Reducing the heat available to be transferred means that the air touching the roof or insulation material will not warm up to the higher temperatures that untreated roofs create.

Reflective roof paints can be applied to large or small areas of roofing made of almost any material – metal, asbestos, asphalt, fibreglass, timber, concrete, shingle.   A particularly successful application of this membrane is the treatment of large industrial and commercial structures resulting in premises experiencing much lower internal temperatures.  Significant reduction of inside temperatures, produces less, or in many cases, no need for additional ventilation from fans and extractors, or even portable air-cooling systems. 

Insultec Heat Reflective Paint is a water based co-polymer paint compounded of inert pigments and special fillers.  Because it is applied in liquid form the heat reflective paint is also able to bridge hairline cracks and gaps up to 1.6mm, increasing the water proof capability of the existing roof.   Creating a membrane over the area of application the heat reflective coatings from Insultec are available in a range of colours, both light and dark.  As per the laws of physics, it is highly recommended that a lighter shade be used, rather than a dark one, to enhance the reflective ability of the membrane.

Using Insultec , Heat Reflective Paint will make a huge difference to the inside temperature of any building, a huge difference to electricity usage, and in turn contribute to the worldwide drive to reduce Global warming.

Heat Reflective Paint can reduce your cooling costs in an industrial warehouse! To save money on cooling costs get heat reflective paint added to your industrial roof. Submitted by Nathan Pershner.

who knows the name of this painting on the cosby show set?

It is in the living room on the right side near a grandfather clock and next to wear Cliff plays his records. The painting is of a black man with his head down and he is wearing a white dress shirt and a tie...

The painting is of a black man with his head down and he is wearing a white dress shirt and a tie and its not the funeral procession its on the opposite side of the room near the clock and the door! thanks though lol

Famed Huxtable painting comes to New Orleans
New Orleans CityBusiness, Aug 1, 2005 by New Orleans CityBusiness Staff
Fans of The Cosby Show will recall the painting of a Haitian funeral procession hanging over the Huxtable living room mantel.

African-American artist Ellis Wilson's best-known painting, Funeral Procession, will be on exhibit until Sept. 30 at Tulane University in the Amistad Research Center at Tilton Hall.

Wilson, a native of Mayfield, Ky., struggled to make a living as an artist. His most famous painting appeared in 1985 on the Cosby Show eight years after he died.

Regenia Perry, visual arts curator for the Amistad Research Center, estimates the value of the circa-1950 painting at $150,000.

It's by far not the best painting in the collection. It's just famous because it was on 'The Cosby Show,' and that's a little bit regrettable, Perry said

The Masterpieces exhibit features approximately 12 paintings, including four of Wilson's, from the 270-piece Aaron Douglas Collection.
