DUE TO their light colour, cool roofs/reflective roofs reflect more sunlight and absorb less heat than traditional roofing materials.

This results in a cooler interior environment and lower energy costs, making them an ideal choice for sustainable homes and businesses as well as buildings that need to stay cool all year round, such as data centres and food or medication manufacturing facilities.

At Soprema, we offer a complete range of cool roof solutions with our bitumen, liquid and synthetic (PVC/TPO) full system build-ups. Whichever waterproofing system has been specified, we can deliver high-quality, robust, reliable and fully compatible systems, as well as extensive technical services, including specifications, calculations, onsite support and a single point warranty as part of the complete solution.

Soprema’s Cool Roof Product Offering

The correct cool roof material will depend on the climate, budget and desired aesthetic. Some popular options include white or light-coloured reflective tiles and reflective coatings. At Soprema, we offer complete waterproofing system build-ups with top layers specially designed for cool roofs.

Bituminous membranes with reflective slates reach a value of +/- 74. For a bitumen waterproofing system, we offer, Sopralene Optima 4 GF C3 FR CRW – a white bituminous felt solution with a value of +/- 70. Our ALSAN liquid waterproofing system offering includes ALSAN 970 CR – a fast curing, UV stable, highly flexible, white reflective layer with a very high Solar Reflectance Index (SRI) of 108, specially designed for the ALSAN PMMA ReflectRoof system, which can reduce the temperature of the roof surface to 35 °C. We also offer synthetic (PVC/TPO) cool roof solutions with our range of FLAGON ENERGY PLUS membranes.

Soprema’s Complete and Fully Compatible Cool Roof System Build-Ups

To ensure the robustness of the cool roof system and to ensure your client gets the most out of the cool roof solution installed, it is important that the whole system build-up is of high-quality, including proper insulation.

Cool roofs work best when combined with quality insulation, as they help keep the cool air inside and reduce the amount of energy required for heating. As part of our full system build-ups, we will recommend the best insulation type to use and will provide you with all relevant calculations to ensure the specification requirements are met.

Our cool roof systems are fully compatible and we offer complex flame-free upstand and detailing waterproofing solutions with our versatile ALSAN PMMA product range, allowing you to complete all your projects to the highest standard.
