Hospitality & Tourism
Creating Cooler, More Comfortable and More Sustainable Guest Experiences
The hospitality and tourism industry relies on providing comfortable environments for guests while managing rising energy costs and maintaining valuable property assets.
Hotels, resorts, wineries, restaurants, conference centres and tourism facilities are often exposed to intense solar radiation and extreme temperatures, placing increased pressure on air-conditioning systems and operating budgets.
Insultec is an Australian-developed thermal re-radiating waterproof membrane designed to reduce solar heat absorption, helping hospitality operators create cooler, more energy-efficient and more sustainable facilities.
Improving Guest Comfort
Guest satisfaction is directly influenced by comfort. Excessive heat can increase cooling demands, reduce indoor comfort and negatively impact the visitor experience.
By reflecting and re-radiating up to 95% of infrared heat and 85% of ultraviolet radiation, Insultec helps reduce heat transfer through roofs and external surfaces, assisting in the creation of cooler and more comfortable environments for guests, visitors and staff.
Key Benefits
Enhanced Guest Comfort
Cooler internal temperatures help improve guest experiences in hotels, resorts, restaurants, cellar doors and tourism facilities.
Reduced Air-Conditioning Costs
Lower heat gain means less reliance on mechanical cooling systems, helping reduce electricity consumption and operating costs.
Improved Solar Panel Performance
Many hospitality properties utilise rooftop solar systems to reduce energy costs. Cooler roof surfaces can help create more favourable operating conditions for solar panels.
Extended Roof Life
Insultec reduces thermal expansion and contraction caused by extreme temperature fluctuations, helping protect roofs and extend asset life.
Waterproof Protection
Insultec forms a seamless waterproof membrane that protects buildings from moisture ingress, weathering and environmental degradation.
Improved Sustainability Performance
Reducing energy consumption and improving building efficiency helps support ESG, sustainability and environmental objectives increasingly valued by guests and investors.
