Your buildings stay open, and the work can be scheduled during school holidays. - [q2] Is a cool roof useful if my building is not air-conditioned? - [a2] Yes. That is in fact the most common case: the main benefit is summer comfort without installing air conditioning. - [q3] Does the coating really reduce my energy bill? - [a3] Yes, where air conditioning exists: by lowering the temperature under the roof, the coating reduces the cooling load, and therefore consumption. - [q4] How does the application work? - [a4] Your own contractor applies the coating from the outside of the roof. Covalba provides the technical specifications and supports your team or professional applicator. - [q5] Which types of roofs are compatible? - [a5] Steel deck, bitumen, membranes and concrete, including older roofs after a technical assessment. - [q6] How long does the effectiveness last? - [a6] Covalba coatings keep their reflectivity for 8 to 10 years, far longer than low-cost alternatives. ## [final-cta] Final call to action - [eyebrow] Cool roof for public buildings - [title] Keep your occupants cool, for the long term. - [desc] Tell us about your building and discover its potential.
