Beat the heat with silicone roof coatings

By Dani Sheehan. 

Kool Seal Tundra keeps roofs cooler, longer, with lasting durability that stands up to sun, rain and time. 

When the summer sun turns rooftops into frying pans, building owners need a coating that can stand up to heat, and help keep it out of their building. Tundra™ Silicone Rubberized Roof Coating by Kool Seal® is a brilliant white finish with an impressive Solar Reflectance Index (SRI) of 110, making it a clear winner in the fight against rising temperatures, higher energy bills and the urban heat island effect. 

The power of a high SRI 

In roofing, a higher SRI means a cooler roof – and Tundra’s 110 rating is well above the standard even for cool roofs. This number reflects how efficiently a surface can bounce solar heat back into the atmosphere while radiating absorbed heat away. On a sunny day, that translates into: 

• Lower roof surface temperatures 
• Reduced cooling costs in air-conditioned spaces 
• More comfortable interior temperatures in buildings without air conditioning 

A reflective roof coating like Tundra can stay up to 55° F cooler than a darker, less reflective roof under the same sun exposure. 

Protection beyond the sun 

Tundra Silicone Roof Coating still delivers the all-weather durability building owners expect from Kool Seal: 

• Ponding water resistance for peace of mind after heavy rains 
• UV resistance to maintain performance and appearance 
• Outstanding adhesion to most roofing materials 
• Elongation of 425% for flexibility through seasonal expansion and contraction 

Roof coatings like Tundra extend roof life, reduce the need for costly tear-offs and help prevent roofing materials from ending up in landfills. With 98% solids content and ultra-low VOCs, it’s an environmentally conscious solution that delivers lasting performance and comes backed by a limited lifetime warranty. 

When the heat is on, help your customers stay cool season after season with the right roof coating. Learn more about Kool Seal Tundra Silicone Rubberized Roof Coating and how it sells itself to building owners.
