How long does Texcote last?

ANSWER: “The COOLWALL® System is designed to last a lifetime. Testing in our state-of-the-art xenon weathering chamber showed the COOLWALL® System was still performing beautifully after the equivalent of more than 10 years exposure, with no end in sight!”

Does Coolwall paint work?

Unlike house paint, it’s designed to last a lifetime! TexCote Coolwall is a superior product to regular house paint in many ways. It provides homes with solar reflectivity benefits, it’s energy efficient, and its color vibrancy lasts significantly longer!

What is Coolwall exterior coating?

The COOLWALL® with Kynar® IR exterior coating system has been specially formulated to reflect solar heat by changing the invisible portion of the light spectrum, thereby helping to reflect heat without changing color.

What is Tex Cote Coolwall?

TEX•COTE® COOLWALL® Coating Systems represent a revolutionary concept in exterior wall coatings. Specially formulated to reflect the sun’s heat, they can lower exterior wall surface temperatures by as much as 40 degrees when compared to traditional paints in many colors.

How do you repair a Texcote?

Different ways it can be repaired includes: Patching – This process consists of water blasting and scaping the affected areas to completely remove the failing Texcote. It would be followed with a skim coat of high-strength cement substrate. Lastly, it could be replaced with a new Texcote.

Is Cool Life paint good?

Its high-build finish is waterproof and expands and contracts with building movement, which provides maximum protection against water damage and cracking even in the most severe weather. This is especially beneficial in climates that tend to fluctuate a great deal between the summer and winter months.

What is cool wall?

A “cool” wall is an exterior wall surface that stays cool in the sun by strongly reflecting sunlight and by efficiently emitting thermal infrared radiation. Just like a cool roof, a cool wall should exhibit both high solar reflectance (also known as “albedo”) and high thermal emittance.

What is elastomeric paint?

Elastomeric paint is a high build coating that is designed to protect masonry surfaces. These coatings help protect your stucco from wind driven rain, and can create a waterproof system if applied correctly. Here are some of the benefits to using a high quality elastomeric coating from Sherwin-Williams.

Is elastomeric paint breathable?

A “breathable” coating is generally considered one that is 10 perms or greater, and typical elastomeric coatings may range from 8-12 perms or more. So an initial application of elastomeric applied at the proper DFT fulfills the specifier/owner’s requirement for a waterproof but breathable coating.

Is there a paint that reflects heat?

Now researchers have made an ultra-white cooling paint that reflects up to 98 percent of the sun’s heat. The new paint, reported in the journal Joule, could cool buildings more efficiently and significantly bring down cooling costs compared to conventional white cool-roof paints.

Who makes cool life paint?
