RoofKrete

Solar Reflectivity

The benefits of solar reflective materials and light colours has been known for many years in hot climates, and with urban density increasing the "Albedo" or Urban Heat Island (the solar heating of an urban environment) affect is now having an impact on UK cities, and is predicted to increase in future.

Roofkrete is normally a light grey material when installed and can be easily painted White using conventional outdoor paint –thus achieving great solar reflectivity.

RoofKrete/Krete are also now working with an international mineral company testing the incorporation of reflective minerals in the sand/ cement roofkrete mixture.

Results will be finalised / published in 2010.
