Our Energy Star® Heat Reflective Paints are making a positive contribution to our Australia environment by helping to reduce the energy consumption required to cool our homes and commercial properties. The use of Energy Star® coating systems to make our roofs and walls highly reflective to sunlight results in energy cost savings, cooler occupancy zones, reduced Co2 emissions and helps provide a quality of life for building occupants during the extremes summer.
