How COOLWALL® Works
TEX•COTE® COOLWALL® exterior coating systems use the same heat reflective technology the military uses to reduce the “heat signature” (the solar heat absorbed by planes and vehicles). Much like a military vehicle, your home absorbs heat from the sun too. But unlike the military, your home’s enemy isn’t another army – it’s the escalating cost of electricity.
​
TEX•COTE® COOLWALL® has been specially formulated to reflect solar heat by changing the invisible portion of the light spectrum, thereby helping to reflect heat without changing color.
COOLWALL® Actual Infrared Photography
Tex-Cote, LLC. recently utilized a state-of-the-art infrared thermal imaging cameras, designed specifically to capture surface temperature differentials, to show the incredible capabilities of its revolutionary COOLWALL® infrared heat reflective wall coating system. The thermal imaging cameras were used to compare the surface temperature of COOLWALL® to the surface temperature of conventional paint when applied in the exact same visual color.
Infrared technology proves that TEX-COTE® COOLWALL® can reduce exterior wall temperatures by 37° when compared to traditional paint in the same color.
After image captured with infrared photography proves COOLWALL®'s revolutionary heat-reflective qualities with a difference of up to 37°F.

Tex-Cote® COOLWALL® Infrared (IR) Heat-Reflective Exterior Wall Coating System is a revolutionary coating system that has been tested by the U.S. Department of Energy and has proven to reduce surface temperatures and provide cooling cost energy savings.
Total Solar Reflectance is a measurement of how much solar energy is reflected off of a given material's surface. It measures the amount of light that is reflected off the surface, whether from direct sunlight, sky radiation, or from indirect lighting. It is often used in the calculation of a building's energy efficiency and is important for creating green and sustainable construction designs.
