Project Description
The customer wanted to prevent heat penetration from outside into their building. A corrugated metal roof was insulated with Super Therm® in 1996. Sixteen years later, a comprehensive review was conducted on the effectiveness and durability of the insulation.
Coating Solution
Super Therm® was applied to the corrugated metal roof in 1996. A top coat was re-applied in 2008 (after 12 years), which further reduced internal temperatures.
Results
| Year | Outside Temp | Inside Temp |
|---|---|---|
| 1996 – Before application | 35.5°C | 39.2°C |
| 1996 – After application | 35.5°C | 32.9°C |
| 2012 – 16-year review | 35.6°C | 31.0°C |
The insulation continued to offer the same room temperature effect after 16 years, demonstrating outstanding long-term durability.
