Your teams keep working, and the operation is organized so as not to disturb floor occupancy. - [faq-q2] What is the gain for employee comfort? - [faq-a2] By lowering the temperature under the roof, a cool roof coating makes the floors, especially the top floors, far more bearable in summer. - [faq-q3] Does a cool roof really reduce my energy costs? - [faq-a3] Yes. By reducing air conditioning needs, it lowers the building's consumption and delivers lasting savings on operating costs. - [faq-q4] Does the coating also protect my roof? - [faq-a4] Yes. The coating protects the waterproofing from UV and heat, which extends the roof's service life. - [faq-q5] Is it useful if my offices are not air-conditioned? - [faq-a5] Yes. Without air conditioning, the benefit is measured in comfort: the roof transmits less heat during heat waves. - [faq-q6] Which types of roofs are compatible? - [faq-a6] Steel deck, bitumen, membranes and concrete, including older roofs after a technical assessment. - [faq-q7] And in winter, will I lose on heating? - [faq-a7] The winter effect is limited: the sun is low and mainly heats the facades. The summer gain largely makes up for it. - [faq-q8] How long does the effectiveness last? - [faq-a8] Covalba coatings retain their reflectivity for 8 to 10 years, well beyond low-end products. ## [final-cta] Final CTA - [final-cta-eyebrow] Commercial cool roof - [final-cta-title] Turn your offices into a cool working environment. - [final-cta-desc] Tell us about your building and discover its potential, for your teams, your energy bill and the value of your asset. - [final-cta-reassurance-1] Personalized assessment within 48 hours - [final-cta-reassurance-2] Strengthened asset value - [final-cta-reassurance-3] No commitment ## [seo] SEO content - [seo-eyebrow] Commercial sector guide - [seo-title] Cool roof for offices and commercial buildings: why a reflective roof changes the game. - [seo-intro] In the commercial sector, summer heat first affects employees and the energy bill. - [seo-section-1-title] Why offices overheat - [seo-section-1-body] A dark roof can exceed 80°C at the surface and transmit heat to the top floors, often the hardest to occupy. - [seo-section-2-title] The cool roof principle - [seo-section-2-body] A reflective roof combines high solar reflectance and high emissivity to reflect radiation and dissipate heat. - [seo-section-3-title] Comfort and working conditions - [seo-section-3-body] Thermal comfort influences well-being, concentration and quality of life at work during hot periods. - [seo-section-4-title] Controlling air conditioning - [seo-section-4-body] By limiting heat gain through the roof, a cool roof coating reduces the load on cooling equipment across large surfaces. - [seo-section-5-title] Cool roof and energy performance - [seo-section-5-body] By acting on the air conditioning line item, a cool roof coating reduces the building's consumption and strengthens its energy performance over time. - [seo-section-6-title] A coating that lasts - [seo-section-6-body] Covalba polyurethane and finishing varnish systems are designed to last 8 to 10 years while maintaining their performance. - [seo-source-1] Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Heat Island Group. - [seo-source-2] U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Cool Roofs. - [seo-source-3] Akbari H. et al., roof albedos and thermal comfort. - [seo-source-4] Santamouris M., passive cooling.
