Restore Your Roof While Giving Your Home a Comfortable Climate


Cool Roof Store
The cool-roof movement in Hawaii has spread like a brush fire in August. Everywhere you look you see elegant white roofs cooling down the homes they are attached to all around Honolulu. AC bills are often reduced by 25 percent or more. Roofs that used to be torn off and replaced are now being preserved and protected from destructive UV and infrared rays for the lifetime of the structure.

But what happens if your homeowners association won’t allow a white roof? Perhaps you have a million-dollar ocean view that is obscured by the glare from the first story roof below you. Or maybe you just want to fit into a neighborhood that has mostly dark-colored roofs. Does that mean you have to suffer through yet another hot summer?

Now you don’t have to. NXT Cool Zone has developed a tough, fade-resistant roof paint that keeps your roof cool even when using dark colors like charcoal gray or brick red. How does it do this? By using modern nanotechnology, the company developed an infrared heat shield that keeps heat from penetrating the roof. The proprietary formula keeps its paint from fading in the sun. As a world leader in roof paint for 42 years, the company’s paint has restored more than 750,000 roofs worldwide and offers a 12-year warranty. The movement started off in Australia, where metal and concrete tiles are the most popular forms of roofing. Then, it expanded to Southern California, where the roofs have rapidly grown in popularity because they comply with tough cool-roof standards in Title 24 (also known as the California Building Standards Code). Now, the Cool Roof Store has brought this technology to Hawaii.

Monier tile roofs

Since they are so expensive to replace when their protective glaze burns off, Monier tile roofs are the most popular roofs being restored worldwide. With NXT Cool Zone, you can choose from three different primers that can be used to seal up the weathered tile, depending on how bad the surface is. If it is down to bare concrete, the company recommends its Master Primer to start off with. Then you apply two finish coats and you’re done.
