Roof Painters in Tweed Heads

Modern roof coatings often include heat-reflective pigments that reduce surface temperature by reflecting more sunlight. This helps keep interiors cooler and can lower air conditioning use during summer. A three-coat system is applied to ensure even coverage and long-term durability, especially under strong UV.

Lighter shades, in particular, reflect more UV radiation than darker colours. The overall energy savings vary by roof type and insulation, but reflective coatings are a practical way to improve comfort and reduce energy costs without replacing the roof.

Preparation typically involves pressure cleaning to remove dirt, lichen and flaking paint. Cracks, broken tiles or rust patches are repaired, and a primer or sealer is applied to create a strong base for the topcoat. This sets the groundwork for a three-coat system, which gives better durability and consistent coverage.

Each roof material – tile, metal or Colorbond – needs a slightly different approach. Thorough cleaning and repair work help the coating adhere properly and ensure a long-lasting, even finish.

Yes. High-quality roof paints act as a protective barrier against water, salt and UV exposure. When applied as a three-coat system, the coating provides stronger, longer-lasting protection across all roof types.

For metal roofs, the system helps prevent oxidation and rust formation, while for tile roofs it seals the porous surface to stop moisture penetration.

This added protection slows deterioration and extends the life of the roof structure, reducing the need for early replacement or costly repairs down the track.
