Our COOLWALL PLUS System has been proven to reduce energy usage and its manufacturing process incorporates post-consumer recycled content.

A study conducted by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory showed that COOLWALL PLUS can reduce a home’s cooling costs by as much as 21.9%*!

On a hot day, the sun can beat down on the walls of your home, and your home can absorb as much as 90% of the radiant energy (or heat)! Even white walls can absorb significant solar radiation. All that heat makes the inside of your home hot and uncomfortable. Running air conditioning to cool your home can be extremely expensive.

In fact, a central air conditioning system uses about 3500 watts, or 3.5kWh every hour. In some areas of the country, cooling even a moderate size house requires over 1500 hours of air conditioning operation a year. Now, COOLWALL PLUS- an advanced exterior coating system - tested by the Department of Energy to lower interior temperatures - can make your home more comfortable while reducing your use of air conditioning.

COOLWALL PLUS systems offer homeowners one of today's most reliable and beautiful solutions to protecting their home's exterior. Not only is COOLWALL PLUS 10 times thicker on average than ordinary paint, it also contains special reflective pigments - the same type of pigments used by the U.S. government to cool ships, and provide both reflectivity and reduced radar signature in Stealth bombers. Due to their ability to reflect light, these pigments can lower surface temperatures by as much as 40-degrees Fahrenheit, when compared to traditional paints and coatings in many colors. Lower exterior temperatures mean lower interior temperatures.

* Percentage of savings are based on the DOE study which showed savings ranging from 4.2-21.9%. Percentage of cooling costs and surface temperature reductions will vary based on color chosen, geographical location, climate condition, and substrate type. In some climates, there may be a heating penalty.
