Commercial & Industrial Buildings
Reduce Heat. Lower Energy Costs. Protect Your Investment.
Commercial and industrial buildings are exposed to some of the harshest environmental conditions in Australia. Constant solar radiation, high roof temperatures and thermal expansion can significantly increase cooling costs, reduce occupant comfort and accelerate building deterioration.
Insultec is an Australian-developed thermal re-radiating waterproof membrane designed to reduce solar heat absorption while protecting valuable building assets. Applied to roofs and external surfaces, Insultec helps keep buildings cooler, improves energy efficiency and extends the life of roofing materials.
Why Commercial Buildings Need Insultec
During summer, roof surface temperatures on metal and concrete buildings can exceed 70°C. This heat transfers into the building, increasing air-conditioning demand and creating uncomfortable working conditions.
Insultec forms a protective membrane that reflects and re-radiates up to 95% of infrared heat away and 85% of ultraviolet radiation from the building, helping to reduce heat transfer into internal spaces.
Key Benefits
Lower Air-Conditioning Costs
By reducing heat entering the building, Insultec significantly reduces the reliance on mechanical cooling systems and lower electricity consumption.
Improved Workplace Comfort
A cooler internal environment improves employee comfort, productivity and wellbeing while creating a more pleasant environment for customers and visitors.
Extended Roof Life
Extreme temperature fluctuations cause roofing materials to expand and contract daily. Insultec helps minimise thermal stress, reducing maintenance requirements and extending roof life.
Protect Valuable Stock and Equipment
Excessive heat can damage products, machinery and stored materials. Insultec helps maintain more stable internal temperatures and protects valuable assets.
Improved Solar Panel Performance
Many commercial and industrial facilities utilise rooftop solar systems. Cooler roof surfaces create better operating conditions for solar panels, supporting improved energy generation and system efficiency.
Waterproof Protection
Insultec forms a seamless waterproof membrane that protects roofs and external surfaces from weathering, moisture ingress and environmental degradation.
