Application

Roof Restoration That Cuts Energy Costs and Extends Roof Life

Aging or inefficient commercial roofs absorb heat, drive up HVAC bills, and lose performance year after year. Cool Roof Coat applies directly over what you already have — no tear-off, no landfill, no business disruption.

The Challenge

Aging roofs cost more than the energy they waste

Most commercial roofs more than 10 years old absorb a punishing amount of solar heat — surface temperatures often exceed 160°F on a summer afternoon. That heat radiates into the building, and HVAC systems run harder to compensate.

Traditional fixes mean a full tear-off and replacement: weeks of disruption, large capital budgets, and tons of material sent to landfills. Worse, many conventional reflective coatings lose performance within five to seven years and need to be reapplied.

Property owners and facility managers need a way to restore the roof, not replace it — and to keep the energy savings rolling for the long term.

The Solution

Cool Roof Coat: a restoration system that pays for itself

Cool Roof Coat is a high-performance, water-based acrylic coating built on NanoTech's ICP™ platform — the same insulative ceramic particle technology TIME named one of the Best Inventions of 2024. It actively rejects solar heat through high reflectance, high emissivity, and low thermal conductivity — and it keeps performing even when the roof gets dirty.

It applies directly over TPO, EPDM, PVC, metal, BUR, modified bitumen, and SPF — no tear-off, no demolition, no landfill cost. Most commercial roofs are completed in days, with the building staying fully operational throughout the application.

Featured product

Cool Roof Coat

Energy-efficient acrylic roof coating that restores aging roofs and reduces HVAC load by up to 50%.

Why facility teams choose Cool Roof Coat for restoration

Six measurable advantages over tear-off and conventional reflective coatings.

Up to 50% HVAC reduction

High reflectance plus low thermal conductivity drops surface temperatures and the cooling load that follows.

No tear-off required

Applies directly over single-ply, metal, BUR, mod-bit, and SPF — no demo, no landfill, no business interruption.

Days, not weeks

Spray or roller application typically cures in 24 hours. Buildings stay open during the work.

Up to 20-year NDL warranty

No Dollar Limit warranty options of 10, 15, or 20 years on qualifying systems.

Waterproof and weather-tough

Resists ponding water, wind-driven rain, and 2-inch hail. Stable from -22°F to 212°F.

Code & rebate friendly

CRRC-rated, Title 24, ASHRAE 90.1, IECC, and Miami-Dade approved. Qualifies for many utility rebates.

Where roof restoration with Cool Roof Coat fits

Designed for commercial and industrial roofs that still have life left in the substrate.

Distribution & logistics centers

Massive low-slope roofs where every degree of interior cooling translates to meaningful HVAC savings.

Retail & big-box stores

Restore aging single-ply or BUR membranes and improve customer comfort during peak summer hours.

Manufacturing facilities

Reduce ambient heat loads in non-air-conditioned plants where worker comfort and equipment performance suffer in summer.

Office complexes

Avoid tear-off costs on multi-tenant properties while reducing tenant cooling complaints and energy bills.

Cold storage & food processing

Lower compressor run-time and refrigeration energy costs by reducing heat gain through the roof.

Schools, hospitals & municipal buildings

Low-disruption upgrade that fits tight occupancy windows and qualifies for sustainability incentives.

Approvals

HVAC savings up to 50% are based on cooling-related energy use on qualifying low-slope commercial roofs in cooling-dominant climate zones; actual savings depend on building size, insulation, occupancy, and roof condition — confirmed during the site assessment. Cool Roof Coat is engineered and assembled in the USA with Non-Reportable VOC content and minimal PPE required to apply.

Recommended system

Cool Roof Coat works best as a complete restoration system. Pair it with prep and repair products for the longest service life.

Primary solution

Cool Roof Coat

The flagship reflective acrylic coating that drives HVAC savings and rejects solar heat.

Roof Cleaner

Waterborne cleaner that preps single-ply and rubber roofs for coating and improves adhesion.

Rain Safe Leak Repair

Kevlar-reinforced waterproofing that cures underwater — fix active leaks before coating.

Frequently asked questions about roof restoration coatings

On qualifying commercial roofs, Cool Roof Coat can reduce cooling-related HVAC energy use by up to 50%. Actual savings depend on building size, climate zone, insulation, and the condition of the existing roof — your free roof assessment includes a projection specific to your facility.
