NXT Cool Zone® is a remarkable heat reflecting roof coating utilizing revolutionary Thermal Protection Technology® developed by Nutech Paint to keep buildings cooler in hot weather.

It’s a scientific fact – with Nutech NXT® Technology your roof will last longer, save you money, protect our environment and promote healthy, comfortable living.

Australian roofs are inspired by the rich dark colours found in our diverse natural landscape.  When renovating, owners and designers want to restore these original dark colours or upgrade to match the latest design trends.  Unfortunately, dark roofs soak up the Sun, becoming hotter as the day progresses.  On hot days roof spaces super heat up to 90° and rooms below become unbearable even with ceiling insulation.  Air-conditioning is overworked and roof structure durability is affected.

Now you can choose your roof colour knowing that dark colours don’t need to be hot colours, so aesthetics and functionality go hand in hand.

How does NXT Cool Zone® work? Dark painted and unpainted roof tiles and coloured metal roofs absorb up to 95% of the sun’s heat.  Until now white roof paint was the only cool option, but not everyone wants a white roof.

In contrast, NXT® reflects between 30% and 91% of the Sun’s heat subject to colour.  NXT® Charcoal has a Total Solar Reflectance (TSR) of 35% reflecting 500% more heat than conventional charcoal roof paint.  NXT® White has a TSR of more than 90%.

NXT® also cools the roof space at night by emitting heat significantly better than galvanized metal, reflective aluminium paint and most conventional paint. NXT® reflects heat in the day and emits heat at night, maximizing cooling efficiency.

In fact NXT® is better for your roof than new cement roof tiles and metal sheeting, which do not have Thermal Protection Technology®.

NXT® works just like shading your roof.  External blinds on windows can reduce heat gain by up to 80%.  The same principle applies by preventing the roof space heating up, rather than trying to control heat transfer with ceiling insulation, saving money over the building life.  Ceiling insulation will still be required for an energy efficient home, but it will work more efficiently at lower peak temperatures.

Simply put, NXT Cool Zone® keeps your roof up to 30°C cooler, meaning rooms below will be kept a comfortable 6 - 10°C cooler*
