Does Exterior Coating Paint Absorb or Reflect Sunlight?

Exterior Coating Paint

Exterior coating paint adds another layer of protection from the elements. It keeps your home safe from insects, dust, and weather damage. However, if you choose to paint your exterior wall with an energy-efficient coat, you can lower the overall cost of your energy consumption. One reason for this is that it absorbs ultraviolet rays, instead of absorbing them. 

Reflective Exterior Coating Paint 

Instead of absorbing ultraviolet light, energy-efficient coating reflects ultraviolet light. As a result, it cools surfaces adequately. It can successfully cool buildings. With this type of paint, just think about how much money you can save on energy alone. If the temperature is 30 degrees Celsius, it could significantly drop to 25. 

Does It Really Work? 

Yes, it does work in reflecting sunlight. It takes the energy from the sun away from the building. However, it can’t be applied to the inside of your house or building if you wish to keep the house cool. Don’t believe it when an agent comes to you and promotes a coating that can reflect the sunlight if used inside the house. Reflective paint is only effective if applied on the exterior wall surface. 

How Often to Paint Your House with Energy-Efficient Coating? 

With ordinary paint, you need to re-paint your house every three to five years. You also have to spend more than $5,000 depending on the area to be painted. However, if you choose Deluxe LifeCote, you can spare yourself from spending another dime on paint. Once this coat is on your wall, you will never have to create a budget for paint again. The reason for this is that this coating can last a lifetime. 

What is a Lifetime Paint? 

This is the kind of coat that we offer to our clients. It’s not ordinary paint. Rather, it is thicker than paint that is guaranteed for life. It means that you don’t have to rent your paint again. Although you may hear other manufacturers of energy-efficient paints offering a lifetime guarantee, it does not involve cracking. Cracks can happen to any wall building. They arise when water intrudes into the wall. The cracks cause damage to the stucco and the framing. Unfortunately, most paint manufacturers don’t cover cracks. That’s why Deluxe LifeCote is the only product on the market with warranty covers cracking. 

It’s an effective coat because it is thicker than latex paint. Instead of 70% water, Deluxe Lifecote’s water content is 38%. It means that it is thicker than ordinary paint making it more effective in protecting your walls. Furthermore, you can save a lot of money on Deluxe Lifecote because it only needs a little amount of coating to cover a huge area.
