COOLWALL®
  • How long does it take to have COOLWALL® put on my home? It takes approximately one week.
  • What are the potential cost savings with COOLWALL®? COOLWALL® has been tested by the U.S. Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory to reduce cooling costs by up to 21.9%** (percentage savings are based on DOE study which showed savings ranging from 4.2 - 21.9%).
  • How does COOLWALL® relate to a Wall System "R" Rating? COOLWALL® does not work by an "insulation" process and thus it does not have an "R value" (R stands for resistance). Instead, COOLWALL® reflects the infrared energy from the sun so that the wall does not get as hot in the first place. This substantially reduces the amount of heat that the fiberglass or other type of insulation needs to keep out. By increasing Solar Reflectivity in the entire color spectrum, COOLWALL® is reducing surface temperatures and cooling costs.
  • How does COOLWALL® reflect heat without changing color? The ability of COOLWALL® to keep wall surfaces cooler is based on its ability to reflect a much greater percentage of the non-visible portion of the spectrum leaving the color relatively unaffected. COOLWALL® has tremendous performance to reflect these elements. The ability of COOLWALL® to keep wall surfaces cooler is based on its ability to reflect a much greater percentage of the non-visible portion of the spectrum relatively unaffected.
  • What is the life of the COOLWALL® SYSTEM? "The COOLWALL® System is designed to last a lifetime. Testing in our state-of-the-art xenon weathering chamber showed the COOLWALL® System was still performing beautifully after the equivalent of more than 10 years exposure, with no end in sight!"
  • How does the COOLWALL® System compare to those coatings claiming to be "ceramic"? The so called "ceramic" coatings actually are ordinary coatings that have had small ceramic spheres added. The premise sounds good, except that the science does not support the claims that are made. Even though these coatings may be applied heavier than ordinary paint, there simply is not enough thickness to effect insulation of any measure. These ceramic coatings have been debunked by the Department of Energy and the Federal Trade Commission and they do not increase reflectivity.

**Percentage of cooling costs and surface temperature reductions will vary based on color chosen, geographical location, climate condition, and substrate type. In some climates there may be a heating penalty.  For more information, visit http://www.texcote.com.
