Some of the lighter colours are available in Double sided so you can enjoy the colour on the topside and bottomside of the patio roof.
Below is a table which shows the range of 'Solar Absorptance' of the 20 COLORBOND® colours. Clearly the lighter colours absorb less heat. This means a lighter coloured roof will provide for a cooler area below the roof as most of the heat is reflected rather than absorbed.
The Building Code of Australia (BCA) has classified roof colour on the basis of their solar absorptance, referred herein as very light, light and dark.
Table 1 - Colour Classification in Accordance with the BCA
Key: VL-Very Light: L-Light: D:Dark
Note: These values do not relate to the COLORBOND Ultra or Stainless steel ranges. Please note, these readings are for standard COLORBOND colours incorporating Thermatech technology.
If you are looking for the ultimate in heat reflection then look at our page on 'Solarspan' Insulated Roofing Panels'. These panels are insulted with a 50mm of polystyrene foam ensuring minimal heat inside your patio area.
If you prefer more light in your patio roof, look at the Suntuff Polycarbonate page or the Supal Multiwall page.
