Many people may have old beliefs about painting houses withdark colorssuch as dark gray, black, brown, or other dark tones, thinking that it will make the house hotter. If it were regular paint, it could indeed make the house hot because dark colors have lower heat reflectivity and can retain more heat than light colors. However, with BEGER COOL paint, whether it’s dark or light, any color can definitely be cool. Let’s see why!
Why does the dark color of BEGER COOL keep the house cool and not stuffy?
In addition to the double working principle (Double Cool, Double Protection) of the ultimate technologyCeramic Coolingand the new innovation from future materials likeAeroTech, BEGER COOL’s cool paint also featuresTSR Technologydeveloped from innovative concepts by the Department of Science, incorporating special synthetic metal pigment powders with maximum solar energy reflection properties into the building paint, enhancing heat reflection efficiency in every shade.
From the image, it can be seen that the dark paint of BEGER COOL, when measured with an infrared gun, has a temperature lower than that of other dark shades by 10 degrees Celsius. The core of the heat protection innovation, Ceramic Cooling, which is unique to BEGER COOL paint, can block and reflect more than 97.5% of heat, proven by testing institutes in Singapore, with accumulated temperatures reduced by up to 6 degrees, ensuring a cooler home.
Additionally, the AeroTech innovation helps reflect heat and infrared radiation (Infrared Reflection: IR) through the atmosphere, effectively reducing heat absorption and accumulated temperature on the paint film’s surface. Therefore, even with dark tones, there’s no need to worry. When measuring the IR value or the heat energy reflection value of infrared, it was found to be 6 times higher than that of regular dark colors.
BEGER COOL, eco-friendly dark color, low carbon
BEGER COOL paint is a low-carbon paint produced through an eco-friendly process from start to finish, including post-use management. We can calculate the energy savings and CO2 emissions of our preferred dark shades through the web applicationPaint CO2Cal, which visually illustrates how much electricity we can save, how much carbon we can reduce, and how many trees it is equivalent to planting. Let’s look at examples of popular dark color pairings!
