## [problem] Problem

- [badge] Why act
- [title] Fiber cement heats up, ages, and is expensive to remove.
- [card-1-title] It absorbs and transmits heat
- [card-1-text] Fiber cement sheets, often dark and poorly insulating, heat up significantly in the sun.
- [card-2-title] It degrades over time
- [card-2-text] Fiber cement becomes porous, gets covered with moss, and loses its appearance.
- [card-3-title] Removing it is very expensive
- [card-3-text] On old roofs, removal is a heavy and costly project, especially if the material falls under asbestos regulations.
- [transition] A cool roof coating cools down and protects the roof without touching the covering.

## [solution] Solution

- [badge] The Covalba solution
- [title] Your roof reflects the sun, without removal.
- [text] On a fiber cement roof, the reflective CovaTherm cool roof coating goes on with a gentle preparation, adapted to the fragility of the substrate. The coating reflects solar radiation, lowers the temperature, and protects the sheets, without removal or drilling.

- [system-2] CovaTherm reflective coating
- [system-3] Solar lacquer on the skylights if needed
- [note] On fiber cement that may contain asbestos, application falls under local asbestos regulations. The applicable framework is confirmed during the technical assessment.

## [benefits] Benefits

- [badge] What you gain
- [title] Cooler, protected, without a major project.
- [featured] Up to -8 to -10°C under the roof, from the very first summer.
- [card-1-title] A cooler building
- [card-1-text] The fiber cement no longer transmits its heat. Warehouses and workshops become bearable again in summer.
- [card-2-title] A protected roof
- [card-2-text] The coating protects the sheets from UV and limits their weathering.
- [card-3-title] No removal
- [card-3-text] You avoid a heavy project and the extra cost associated with old materials.
- [card-4-title] A fast intervention
- [card-4-text] Applied from the outside, with no need to interrupt operations on site.

## [roi] The right calculation

- [badge] The right calculation
- [title] Protect the sheets rather than remove them.
- [intro] As long as the sheets are sound, a cool roof coating reduces heat and avoids a heavy removal project.
- [after-comparison] On fiber cement, the cost gap versus removal is often the most pronounced.

## [mid-cta] Intermediate CTA

- [title] Cool down your fiber cement without removal.
- [text] We assess the condition of the sheets and the regulatory situation so you can beat the heat without a costly removal project.

## [compatibility] Compatibility

- [badge] What it works on
- [title] A gentle preparation, suited to a fragile substrate.
- [text] Fiber cement is a fragile substrate that cannot withstand aggressive treatments. The preparation is therefore tailored: gentle cleaning, without high-pressure spraying that could damage the sheets, and without drilling.

## [method] Method

- [badge] Safe to apply
- [title] Everything is done from the outside, with no machinery on the roof.
- [step-1-title] Technical assessment
- [step-1-text] Condition of the sheets, moss, structural soundness, regulatory context.
- [step-2-title] Preparation
- [step-2-text] Appropriate gentle cleaning, without damaging the substrate.
- [step-3-title] Safe application
- [step-3-text] Reflective coating, sprayed from the outside.
- [step-4-title] Inspection
- [step-4-text] Quality verification and monitoring over time.
- [reassurance] Equipment at the foot of the building, nothing on the roof. The coating goes on without damaging the substrate, applied by a trained, equipped contractor.

## [faq] FAQ

- [faq-1-q] What if my fiber cement contains asbestos?
- [faq-1-a] Applying a coating on asbestos fiber cement falls under local asbestos regulations. The technical assessment specifies the framework applicable to your roof.
- [faq-2-q] Will it hold up on porous fiber cement?
- [faq-2-a] Yes, after suitable preparation. Porous fiber cement, or fiber cement covered with moss, is gently cleaned before application.
- [faq-3-q] Do the sheets need to be removed?
- [faq-3-a] No, that's the whole point. Only broken sheets are replaced on a spot basis.
- [faq-4-q] Why not clean with high pressure?
- [faq-4-a] Because fiber cement is fragile and aggressive cleaning damages it.
- [faq-5-q] What about winter?
- [faq-5-a] The effect is minimal. The slight loss in the shoulder seasons is largely offset by the summer gain.

- [section-1-title] Why a fiber cement roof overheats
- [section-1-text] Fiber cement sheets, often dark and weakly insulating, absorb solar radiation and transmit it to the interior.
- [section-2-title] Cool roof coating on fiber cement, how it works
- [section-2-text] CovaTherm is applied with a gentle preparation: no aggressive cleaning, no drilling. The coating cools down the building and protects the sheets from weathering.
- [section-3-title] The case of asbestos
- [section-3-text] A large share of old fiber cement roofs contain asbestos. In that case, the work must follow the applicable asbestos regulations, confirmed roof by roof.
- [section-4-title] Fiber cement cool roof or removal
- [section-4-text] Removing an old roof, disposing of it, and then installing a new roof represents a very high budget. As long as the sheets are sound, a cool roof coating is the most cost-effective option.
- [section-5-title] A principle validated by research
- [section-5-text] On a poorly insulated fiber cement warehouse, the effect of reflective surfaces is quickly felt on summer comfort.
- [section-6-title] Protection that lasts
- [section-6-text] The CovaTherm system, made of polyurethane with a finishing varnish, is designed to last 8 to 10 years while protecting the sheets.
