Heatproofing

What is Heat Proofing?

Heat proofing is the process of creating a barrier between two objects, one hot and the other cold, to minimize heat transfer. At Phoenix Chemicals, we provide high-quality roof heat proofing solutions to help reduce indoor temperatures, making homes and buildings more energy-efficient and comfortable.

Importance of Roof Heat Proofing

Roofs are constantly exposed to environmental elements, especially intense sunlight, which can increase indoor temperatures. In urban areas, rising temperatures make roof heat proofing an essential step in construction. Without proper insulation, heat penetrates the building, increasing reliance on air conditioning and leading to higher electricity bills. Implementing Phoenix Chemicals’ roof heat proofing solutions can significantly improve indoor comfort and energy efficiency.

Benefits of Roof Heat Proofing

• Heat and cold resistance: Maintains indoor temperature by reducing heat transfer.

• Soundproofing: Acts as an additional layer to reduce external noise.

• Energy conservation: Reduces electricity consumption by minimizing the need for cooling appliances.

Materials Used for Roof Heat Proofing

At Phoenix Chemicals, we use a variety of high-quality materials for effective roof heat proofing:

1. Mud

• A natural thermal insulator that reflects solar heat effectively.

2. Thermapore Sheet (EPS – Expanded Polystyrene)

• A rigid, lightweight closed-cell foam.

• Commonly known as Styrofoam or Thermapore.

• An economical and effective heatproofing solution.

3. Jumbolon Board (XPS – Extruded Polystyrene)

• Offers superior thermal insulation compared to EPS.

• Durable, moisture-resistant, and energy-efficient.

4. Heatproofing Chemical Coating by Phoenix Chemicals

• Phoenix Thermo Shield: A premium heatproofing chemical that reflects solar heat and protects structures from extreme temperatures.

5. Rockwool and Glasswool

• Both materials provide excellent thermal and sound insulation.

Roof Heat Proofing with EPS and XPS

Using EPS or XPS sheets is an effective heatproofing technique. These materials act as a thermal barrier, reducing indoor heat accumulation in summer and preventing heat loss in winter. Phoenix Chemicals promotes the use of these energy-efficient materials to enhance building sustainability.

Properties of EPS and XPS Sheets

• Prevent heat from entering in summer and escaping in winter.

• Lightweight and easy to install.

• Non-toxic, CFC-free, and resistant to fungi and bacteria.

Steps for Roof Heat Proofing

1. Surface Preparation: Clean the roof to remove dust and debris.

2. Crack Repairing: Apply a cement-based slurry to repair cracks and prevent leakage.

3. Polythene Sheet Layering: Adds an extra layer of protection against moisture.

4. Thermal Insulation Installation: Place XPS or EPS sheets on the roof and cover them with a layer of mud.

5. Cement Coating and Tiling: Apply a final cement-based coating to fix tiles and secure insulation.

Roof Heat Proofing with Chemical Coating

Applying a heatproofing chemical coating is another effective method. This technique reflects solar heat, providing a cool indoor environment.

Application Steps for Heatproofing Chemical Insulation

1. Surface Cleaning: Ensure the roof is clean and dry before applying the chemical.

2. Chemical Mixing: Mix the heatproofing chemical with water as per instructions.

3. Application: Use a paintbrush or roller to apply the chemical evenly.

4. Multiple Coats: Apply two coats, allowing the first to dry before applying the second.
