Beat the Malaysian Heat From the Top Down
Malaysian homes absorb intense tropical heat through the roof, driving up air conditioning costs and making upper floors uncomfortable. The sun beats down on your roof for hours every day, heating the surface to temperatures exceeding 60°C on metal roofs and 50°C on tiles.
Roofing Man’s reflective roof coatings create a protective barrier that bounces solar radiation away from your roof -reducing indoor temperatures significantly and cutting your electricity bills.
How Heat Reflective Coating Works
Traditional roofing materials absorb solar heat and transfer it to the space below. Heat reflective coatings contain special pigments and ceramic microspheres that reflect a high percentage of solar radiation back into the atmosphere, rather than absorbing it.
The result:
- Roof surface temperature drops by 15-25°C
- Indoor temperature reduces by 5-10°C
- Air conditioning energy consumption decreases by 20-40%
- Reduced thermal stress extends roof material lifespan
Our Roof Coating Services
Heat Reflective Coating
Our primary service -a high-performance reflective coating applied to your existing roof surface. Suitable for:
- Metal deck roofs (most effective)
- Zinc roofing
- Concrete tiles
- Clay tiles
- Flat concrete roofs
Anti-Fungus & Anti-Algae Treatment
Malaysia’s humid tropical climate promotes rapid growth of fungus, moss, and algae on roof surfaces. These organisms trap moisture, accelerate material degradation, and make your roof look aged. Our anti-microbial coatings kill existing growth and prevent regrowth.
Protective Roof Painting
Beyond reflective properties, our coatings protect your roof against:
- UV radiation damage
- Rain erosion
- Chemical pollution
- Salt spray (for coastal areas)
- Thermal cracking
The Coating Process
Step 1: Roof Cleaning
We pressure wash the entire roof surface to remove dirt, debris, moss, algae, and loose material. A clean surface is essential for proper coating adhesion.
Step 2: Surface Repair
Any cracks, holes, or damaged areas are repaired before coating. This ensures the coating layer is continuous and effective.
Step 3: Primer Application
A bonding primer is applied to ensure maximum adhesion between the roof material and the reflective coating.
Step 4: Coating Application
Two or more coats of reflective coating are applied, ensuring full, even coverage. We pay extra attention to joints, edges, and areas prone to water accumulation.
Step 5: Final Inspection
After curing, we inspect the finished surface for coverage quality and uniformity. The coating is fully effective once cured (typically 24-48 hours).
Is Roof Coating Worth the Investment?
Cost comparison over 5 years:
| Scenario | Monthly AC Cost | Annual Cost | 5-Year Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Without coating | RM400 | RM4,800 | RM24,000 |
| With coating (30% savings) | RM280 | RM3,360 | RM16,800 |
| Savings | RM120/month | RM1,440/year | RM7,200 |
With coating costs starting from RM800, the investment typically pays for itself within the first year through energy savings alone -not counting the extended roof lifespan and improved comfort.
