Staying cool in a changing climate
As global temperatures continue to rise, the need for effective adaptation measures is becoming increasingly urgent. One important aspect of adapting to a changing climate is finding ways to stay cool and comfortable in hot weather. Heat reflective paints, also known as cool paints or cool roof coatings, are one such measure that can help to reduce the amount of heat absorbed by buildings and other structures.
Heat reflective paints, also known as cool paints or solar reflective coatings, are designed to reflect sunlight and reduce the amount of heat absorbed by a surface. These paints contain reflective pigments or other materials that reflect more sunlight than traditional paints. As a result, buildings painted with heat-reflective paints stay cooler and require less energy for air conditioning, which in turn reduces greenhouse gas emissions and energy costs.
In addition to reducing the amount of heat absorbed by buildings, heat-reflective paints can also help reduce the urban heat island effect. This is a phenomenon in which urban areas experience higher temperatures than surrounding rural areas due to the heat generated by buildings and human activity. Heat-reflective paints can help reduce this effect by reflecting more sunlight and reducing the amount of heat absorbed by buildings and other structures.
Heat-reflective paints can be used on a variety of surfaces, including roofs, walls, and pavements. They are particularly effective on flat or low-sloped roofs, where they can significantly reduce the amount of heat absorbed by a building.
Heat-reflective paints are also a relatively low-cost way to improve the energy efficiency of a building. Compared to other energy-saving technologies, such as solar panels or high-efficiency HVAC systems, heat-reflective paints are much less expensive to install and maintain. This makes them a practical option for many homeowners and building owners who want to reduce their energy costs and environmental impact. Heat-reflective paints are also relatively easy to apply and maintain. They can be applied to a wide range of surfaces, including roofs, walls, and pavements, and can last for many years with proper maintenance.
While heat-reflective paints can help reduce the impact of heat waves and mitigate the effects of climate change, they are just one part of a larger strategy for adapting to a changing climate. Other adaptation strategies include increasing the use of renewable energy, improving the energy efficiency of buildings, and developing green infrastructure such as urban forests and green roofs.
In conclusion, heat-reflective paints can play an important role in adapting to a changing climate by reducing the amount of heat absorbed by buildings and other structures. While they are not a panacea for all climate-related challenges, heat-reflective paints are a practical and affordable option for many building owners looking to adapt to a changing climate. However, they are just one part of a larger strategy for staying cool and reducing the impact of heat waves and climate change. As temperatures continue to rise, it is important to explore and implement a range of adaptation measures, and heat-reflective paints should be an important part of that toolkit.

Client Success Stories
I really appreciate Neetu ma’am and the panache Team for giving us a perfect solution to the heat related problems we experienced.
Before the application of cool tops, the temperature level on the store was 52 ° C, but after the application of Cool tops there seemed a reduction in surface temperature by 4 ° C, the temperature in the area where I sit was 40 °C which has reduced to 37 °C, there is a substantial difference in the ambient temperature, Since last 4-5 months I’m not reducing the temperature of my AC below 28 , Even at 28 I couldn’t keep it for long as the room becomes cooler so I keep for few minutes and turn it off . I really appreciate Neetu ma’am and the panache Team for giving us a perfect solution to the heat related problems we experienced.
The result after applying cool tops from panache is you can see the smiling faces of our team after applying the coating system from panache .
This was an old shed so we had a direct roofing installed, no Insulation. We were very much clear after the discussion with Panache team that we should go for cool Tops coating instead insulation so the result is you can see the smiling faces of our team after applying the coating system from panache #GoGreenwithCoolTops
We took the temperature measurement of outside and inside premises. We noticed a good amount like you can say minimum 6 to 8 Deg C temperature difference.
Looking at the Indian climatic condition during summers, where the temperatures were going too high and whenever it goes up to the peak level, the temperature in the factory shop floor rises affecting the efficiency of the workers. We had a thought in our mind that is there any way to control the temperature, then we came across the Panache company and got in touch with them, after explaining them our problem they came to visit our factory. The team is very committed and technically competent to give us the exact solution for the temperature reduction at the factory. We noticed minimum 6 to 8 °C temperature difference. Thereafter, we received positive feedback from the workers so we decided to go ahead with another project in our office premises. As far as execution is concerned, Panache are experts in this domain. They even contacted us after completion of our installation and ensured that we were satisfied with the workmanship. If someone really wishes to reduce temperature in their premises, I would highly recommend Cool Tops coating from panache – I wish them best of luck for their future projects!
Their prices and services are definitely worth the solution given & treatment done with complete transparency.
I have hired Panache services for the waterproofing & Cooling Treatment on one of the roofs of Parul University premises. Their prices and services are definitely worth the solution given & treatment done with complete transparency. I can definitely recommend them to organizations & people looking for thermal comfort along with waterproofing solutions also.
Totally satisfied by the service received.
I am very impressed by their work on how they provide customized solutions for every problem we have & every task they take up.
The Indoor Temperature has decreased to almost 5 °C. Cool Tops provides Cool Buildings without ACs.
In one of our projects, we had a requirement where AC was not viable and people working under that premises were very much disturbed. To solve that problem, we have consulted Panache for the solution. Panache has provided the full proof solution and after the completion of the Cool Tops Installation, we were much relieved. The indoor temperature has decreased to almost 5 degrees. I could say Cool Tops provide Cool buildings without AC.
The experience for the quality of products with consistency is very appreciable.
I am an engineer & contractor taking turnkey projects. We have used Panache’s various waterproofing products & I recommend Panache's Cool Tops, the special 5 coat system which gives thermal comfort with sustainable performance.

FAQ’s
A Cool Roof coatings consists of a binder (usually an organic compound or silicone compound) blended with pigments and other additives to provide two main benefits: protection of roof membranes for longer roof life cycles; and reflectivity of solar radiation, for lower air conditioning costs.
The main components of most Cool Roof coatings are the binder, pigment, water and reflective pigments. Water serves as a liquid carrier, which provides viscosity, allowing the pigment and binder to be spread on the roof as a thin coating. The majority of white coatings in use today are water-based coatings
An energy efficient , white, reflective, elastomeric coating manufactured by Panache can reflect up to 92% of visible light, keeping the roof surface much cooler than with aluminum, black, or non-reflective roofing materials. Lower temperatures mean less energy usage, and translate to money saved. Elastomeric roof coatings protect the roof substrate adding years to your roof, plus saves against costly tear-offs and re-roofing.
