How to keep your ROOF COOL IN HOT SUMMERS | Tried and Tested
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 апр 2017
- Summers in Bangalore have been crazy for the past couple of years. We stay in the top floor and right on top of our floor is an open terrace. It has been quite difficult for us staying at home during weekends while we were not at work. And with our little toddler at home now, it was high time we do something about it.
we discovered this heat resistant/reflective paint that was less unknown to the common people as it was used widely only in factories and industrial set up. They promised to reduce the temperature by 6 - 7 degrees. So gave them a go ahead with little feedback about the product.
We did applied this Excel Cool Coat right above our roof (terrace) and indeed, it's really helping now. Our ceiling fan doesn't throw hot air and our apartment remains much cooler now.
Hope this would be a remedy for folks who are facing the same problem.
I would say get your terrace painted, you won't regret!
This video will tell you how to apply the paint.
1000 sq ft = 40 liters = INR 13000 = 2 Coating
Thanks and Take Care!

Last week I tried this method on my house slab with 5Kg White cement + 8L water + Fevicol and Dr.Fixit. It was too watery. I had to do 3 coates to get a good whiteness.
Two days ago I did it on parents slab with a different proportion and it was perfect with two coats.
My mixing was as below. This mix consistency comes good as paint we buy. This mix covers 40 square meters with two coats.
10Kg White Cement
10L water
2L Fevicol SH
1L Dr.Fixit Latex plus
BTW, Dr.Fixit 101 is made for concrete. I used 308 Latex Plus which is perfect for a cement mix to be applied as covering layer.
Thanks for sharing 👍
So,,what is the actual effect ? Hv u measured temperature ? What's the difference in temp.observed,before and after coat?
Was it effective or not?
Thank you very much for upload such a helpful video....
I am planning to do the same in my house at Karachi....
Also planning plantation around the house....
did u try it.....plz tell..
Its useless to coat the terrace floor, if you have a lot of dirt in air
I did it two years back, but this needs to be cleaned every other day, otherwise a dirt accumulated of three days on terrace, just makes the terrace floor color BROWN, grey, then its the same story.
The best solution is to make a shed of metal sheets, or green polyester mesh, on terrace, they keep shade on terrace
But if one feels to do this only, then don't use this chemical paint, because this doesn't have a good life, if terrace is walked over daily
Best use white cement, and apply a layer of 2-3 mm thickness on Terrace. Its would be way cheaper than this. And will last longer
I did read about same,some where else... Thanks for your input.
Even one of neighbor has done the same thing (white paint) 2 years back and now the roof color is almost Brown but inside the house is very cool.
You are right sir.
White paint means choona ?
@Vihari Royal get it confirmed from the Municipal authorities
Everything is allowed, if your structure is certified by a architect and your FSI approved by Municipal Office
Only for a Helipad you have to ask permission from Mayor of City
It will only be effective if you coat the WHOLE roof, not just some portion of it. Heat can seep into your roof from sideways.
its better to apply on Whole Roof for better Result , I check on Amazon Excel CoolCoat currently not available then I fount LuminX Solar Reflective Root Coating this Product review also very good and Price also less then EXCEL CoolCoat I Applied this and my Room Temperature reduce 3-5C

There is a tool called a stick, that is attached to a roller so worker can do its work like a professional and not like a slave !
We did try as suggested.. didn't work! However, thanks for your inputs...
Grass is always greener on the other side!
Apology for writing it kid-of rough , Get right tools for a job, it means a lot ,specially for people that do the work . Understand that those, sometimes are not available in some parts of the world . good luck
786otto where can be stick tool be available and can get photo of same
786otto dont worry he himself must be some IT slave in bengaluru . Sound like a wannabe from the way he speaks
786otto I agree with you sir but in Indian sab chalta hay
White cement and this product are same, white colour reflect the sun light ,
fall celling is best idea to coll inside the room & outside use white cement or mix some dr fixit suitable product
Have you tried it already or it's just an assumption.
Laws of physics doesn't depends on our will, two uncovered white places would conduct heat due to thermal equilibrium.white reflects or radiates heat of sunlight (even normal cheaper white cement)
True
ravvraj pl tell more abt thandak and its availability
Spread grass carpets ... Place plants ... Better than chemicals and artificial intelligence to keep your Roof cool... Don't forget to water it everyday 😉
Wish the terrace wasn't common. would love to try
Taggers, I know its a learning curve and everything, but considering the title of the video, what was critical to the demonstration/experiment (as you use the word 'tested') is a before and after temperature reading of the room below the roof!
Thanks Anitha. Really appreciate your feedback. Those were my earlier days when I started holding a camera in my hand and tried shooting videos:) for my channel. I guess there is lot more to learn and will definitely improve my learning curve along the way...
Same here, I was hoping that the u will show the temp difference after applying the paint.😔
Tell us about the temperature difference @taggers
@@Taggers tell us about the resulted Temperature difference? You said you tested it.
Why dont you put a long handle on the roller brush n paint it standing up. Its much faster n less effort n save you from bending.
Yes very true well said
I come to this video every year in summer
wtf
Why
Are you doing anything about it this summer? 😂
Legend
After tuff rain ,the colour power capacity ,shall be decrease or not
Apply white cement and FIX-IT solution , that would be cheaper and giving same effect.
Bro please tell me which fixit solution ?
Does it applicable on cement liquid paint?
Is that Doddanekundi Lake ? How efficient is this coolcoat
Can i apply this also on my roof room walls also?
Hey, I used lime wash of 5kg costs 80/- sufficient to paint 30sq ft roof. working well.
What is the temperature drop??
Fevicol needed
Did the white surface really help to reduce the heat below? If so, what percentage of heat got reduced? I also heard there is a German product like a resin which absorbs heat unlike just a white paint.... any idea about that product?
James the product did help in reducing the heat at least by 4 - 5 degree celsius for the first 1 - 2 year... 3rd year onwards the effectiveness slowly went down... Now I would rather go for simple white wash which would be much cost effective.. am not aware of the German product u r referring to...

how many litres did u consume for covering 1000 Sq.ft?
This pure white is very bright as we can't look in sun light. I we can mix some leaf green so that it is good to look
thanks for the sugesstion
Thanks for the suggestion.
Adding colour will reduce the cooling effect inside the room.
Satish D. Naik no. This same paint is applied on wall exterior.
Add black that will serve the purpose well.
apply white cement it also serve same purpose
Thanks for sharing your experience, will give it a go in Chennai!
Happy that this info was helpful. Thank you.
Bhai 12*12 ke 1 room ke liye kitna litre paint chahiye?

Janatha Cool is a lime based paint which is eco friendly and to apply an area of 1000 Sft it would cost only about ₹1,250 to ₹1,500 for 2 coats which includes materials and labour. This is too expensive
How to get this online?
Is it effective on tile floor?
Can we apply lime white wash instead of this..
Was the coating not done for entire surface? I only see one part being painted. Heat can travel through the concrete. So the uncoated surface can absorb heat and can affect the coated surface also.
That's true that it was done only for a portion. However, it didn't affect much.
Bharani Nath
The uncoated area is to absorb cool moon light during night, that cools the building. LOL
How many days the cool paint works and keep the house cool....or the effect reduces after rains

you should be using a pressure washer to clean the surface before applying paint
Oh ok sir
Maybe if we add the Chemical Sika the it helps in waterproofing also ?
Didn't do that Debashis... However, it is safe to check with the experts before mixing... Thanks for the suggestion though...
Nice video. Since I have a very large terrace I may be feasible for me to do at o cue budget wise. Can I do a test patch over any bedroom and check it’s effectiveness , will it reduce the efficiency ?
it's the second year and am still reaping the benefit. I would suggest at least do one fourth of your terrace cuz doing it just over a bedroom might not help
Aparna Datt , apply simple lime paint, at one tenth the cost, and probably more effective.
Aparna Datt but some other product low cost

Hi
If you still suffering with the prob, contact me on 9335233274.
Did this really make a difference in summer??
You should re record sound . It's very low ।
Simple suggestion :- white colour is best reflector of heat
surely will try white wash this year
Appreciate your efforts brother could have been done much better with the voice no matter what so good the video may be but the Voice does matters
thanks for the feedback. Appreciate it.
So expencive
I really appreciate your efforts. A big thumbs up 👍
Even I planned for the paint and i just come across Asian Paint smartcare Damp Proof Paint and it’s gonna cost me 13000₹ for 60L to paint the stair of 962 square feets.
Comes with 4 years warranty. Don’t know how it’s gonna work in long run. It would be great if you could share your experience after applying it,how effectively it is helping you in reducing the heat,how difficult is it to maintain coz as it is white in colour what if someone with dirty foots runs over it and will it make ugly AF? Plz share your overall experience.
TYSM in advance 🙏
Hi Narayan, Yes the paint we have applied is really good and helping in reduce the heat inside the house. This is the second year and it is still going good, the air inside the house is not hot anymore when the fan is switched on, like it used to be before the application. Though, I would say that maintaining it is important. Continuous exposure to dirt can impact the performance and reduce the life of the paint. Hope this helps and thank you for your appreciation.
@@Taggers how you try to get rid of the dirt that accumulates overtime ?
Anand - Every alternate days we tried cleaning using regular broom. However, over a period of time it really became difficult as it was open for the entire flats residing in the building.. gave it up.. we would enjoy it effect just for 2 years... Now i feel it was just a waste of money and effort.
thanks for the prompt response. though i am little disappointed by your conclusion coz its been just 5 days i tricked myself into buying this product and painted it myself ... took 40litre to finish the damn roof.lets see if this sustains 2 years like yours . only plus AND difference is i dont have common roof thankyou for the tips..
@@Taggers Could you please share your feedback now ? Should I go for it ?
Can we apply it to iron sheds? Does it work?
am not sure, I got it done on a cemented surface only so far
Does it really works?it ramains the apartment cool?plz rply
For 1125 sft how many litres of paint wil be required. Kindly reply
40 ltrs should be enough
Hello sir, kindly answer me, Is this cool coat are really work or not. Need your opinion.
It works but life is too short. It helped me not more than 2 and half years ..
It's been 4 years is it still working?
Can we apply inside room walls this excel cool coat paint
it's cab be used for painting external walls... applying the paint internally would not help
Cover the roof with used Flexi sheets this is more cheaper then painting white you can get used Flexi sheets from hoarding advertising agencies.
Thanks Kiran for the suggestion.
Good idea. But may tear due to water logging and Wind. Green polymer sheets are also good work around
Dear Taggers, Thank you much for the video. Quite informative. However, please comment if it helped in cooling your house.
Thanks. it is second year and we are still reaping the benefits. However, you will have to ensure the painting is not covered with dirt. hope this helps
Maintenance means? How to maintain...... explain it
i mean bucket of how much quantity?? sir
for 400 sq/ft you will need close to10Litres (6000 Rs) as you will need to apply 2 coats...
is this application is possible in water proof surfaces
I believe yes. However, request you to check with the experts.

bhai water tank k liye konsa paint best h
Is it a fol celling paint
@@soninitin62 Water tank me bhi laga sakte usse Water tank ka paani garam nahi hoga BUY HERE amzn.to/3fnFNzo
Does it really works? This system reduce solar heat really?
Do we need to mix the paint with water ?
yes, have shown the entire process in the video
Please share your experiences ...if possible... You have many years experience please share..
reduces by 4 - 5 degrees. However, short life 2 - 3 years max. and above all costly.
6 or 7 degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit?
between 6 - 7 degrees celsius is what the product claims. However it would give you say around 4 - 5 degree celsius in reality...
Is this waterproof...?
After water cleaning how many hour after can you apply ?
Let the surface dry properly first n then apply. Duration depends purely on how much sunlight u get...
But heat can decipitate through walls as house is a closed by walls also .
i think white wash (choona) also can use for this purpose and much cheaper than this paint
😃😃😃😃😃
Hope it does...did not try ... hence can't comment. Thanks!
one medium rain will wash out your choona bro 😂😂😂😂😂😂. before commenting think practicaly ..
Choona will get washed away if it rains.
Choona is generally heat producing thing..! ( I have heard elders saying not to stay in the fresh Whitewashed room, coz of heat)...so choona may not work..also It will be washed away in rain..even feet will get dirty if you walk without slippers!

Sir you have very open roof space you can install roof garden
thanks for the suggestion
I recommended to all comment reader is that first of all you should fix thermacoal on roof and then fix plastic sheet on it and then mud is used as much as 2-3 inches thick and last apply 2-3 mm coat of white cement........

Can I use white spray to cover my roof?
Is der only white color.... Any other colors r available?
Pral for this white was what i got. Am not sure of any other color.
White color reflects the light away, thereby making sure the surface doesn't get heated. White color is the main ingredient. You can check by using a white and black umbrella, and see which one is cooler to stand under.
what will be the cost of 400 sq/ft area????
naveen kumar mishra may b nnmm
can someone tell me if we apply tiles on rooof top
not white but coloured tiles
If you are doing for good looking purpose you can do it but for heat reflection purpose it doesn't work.

Does this damage the Roof? by any means.. Someone was saying it leads to water Leakages? Is it True??? pls reply
this is just a reflective coating to reduce the heat. nothing to do with leakage.. be rest assurred.
What are results under coated surface
it's 2nd year and it's working fine... cool under the roof... but maintenance is difficult... i mean cleaning the surface
you guys don't have no water pressure there in India
I empathize your situation… However, we all can work
together for better and greener tomorrow… There are new technologies today to
help us… why not make us of them...

How effective is this..?
It does help but needs to maintain properly... dust should not collect on top of the paint
How many days it work
it's second year for us and still working. They said it will last for 5 years if maintained properly
@@Taggers what precautions you take trying to maintaiin the white surface ?
Surrounding azaan voice so peaceful
MashaAllah
Why does everyone have to hear that sound? it must be peace for you but for others it's noise.
When the temperature starts to cross beyond 34° centigrade these kind of coating doesn't work , a proper weathering course procedure will stop the heat from the ceiling. These kind of coatings are utter waste of money.
Place your outdoor unit of ac in some shade Atleast, it is heating with the sunlight daily.. Reducing it's efficiency ☺

Choona jyada acha rahega aur kharcha kam choona aur fevicol ko milakar coat karne se bhi ghar thanda rehta hai
thanks for sharing your experience Sandeep
Fevicol kis ko kehty hein?
Nice idea. but during monsoon water will seep inside cracks of Lime/Fevicol and can result in water seeping roof, because water retention will eventually spoil your Roof concrete
too many coats the cost would be enormous no use! instead plastic or taurpaulin sheets will do a great and easy job and cheaper too and can be removed after rainy season and can maintained for any tears
Thanks for the suggestion
ya seems cost effective, should stay for 2 years
