Future (p)roof RENOLIT ALKORPLAN Bright Climate change, global warming, increased rainfall intensity, flooding. Our planet is clearly suffering. The impact can be felt in our immediate environment, in our cities, in our entire lives. Consider the urban heat island effect. Cities are expanding, providing more roof surface to heat up, particularly during the increasingly hot summer months. Because of this, temperatures in cities are on average 4 to 6 degrees higher than in nearby rural areas. Traditional dark roofs in particular retain heat much longer and drive up air conditioning/energy...

BREEAM, LEED, VERDE compliant The EU, governments and local planning are constantly focusing on solutions to alleviate climate change. Environmental goals aim to keep global warming below 2 °C and to reduce CO₂ emissions by as much as 80-95%. All to achieve climate neutrality by 2050. The attention is, however, strongly directed toward the construction sector. Increasingly governments and building owners require construction to have green credentials and demonstrate a true commitment to protect the environment and meet specific targets. Due to the production process and the high SRI...

Unequalled solar reflection RENOLIT ALKORPLAN Bright Generally speaking, the darker the colour of a roofing membrane, the less sunlight will be reflected. A conventional dark roof absorbs almost all the sun’s rays and transfers them into heat. For buildings that are not equipped with an air conditioning system, this can be quite uncomfortable, creating an extremely unpleasant working environment during the summer months. White throughout Wavelength (nm) In such cases, a white cool roof membrane offers relief. As it reflects more UV, the roof will heat up less and therefore Réexion solaire...

Easy to clean High SRI values can be significantly reduced if a roof becomes soiled. Location, environmental factors and pollution are decisive here. To keep reflection high, yearly maintenance and cleaning are necessary. RENOLIT ALKORPLAN Bright benefits from a special protective coating which helps shed grime and makes the cleaning process easier and quicker. An annual maintenance ensures your roof remains not only attractive but above all functional for decades. In some specific architectural designs, reflected light can also have another interesting added benefit. With the Bright...

Considerably more energy-efficient RENOLIT ALKORPLAN Bright Traditionally flat roofs have been black or dark grey. A building with a black roof absorbs an enormous amount of heat which it transmits to the underlying space. In this situation air conditioning may be essential. This will contribute to a significant portion of the energy budget. Especially in the case of industrial buildings which usually have large areas exposed. Just think of cool buildings or refrigerated warehouses where a black roof will seriously increase the cooling costs. Easy way to save energy ∆ COOLING DEMAND (kWh/m2...

Tip! : T he RENOLIT ALKORPLAN A Bright cool roof membrane with fleece-backing has been designed specifically for adhered systems and is the perfect solution for cool buildings or refrigerated warehouses. Thanks to the adhered system you avoid the use of mechanical fasteners and the risk of energy loss due to thermal bridging, often the cause of an increasing energy bill. Double gain! Tip! : ven if your roof is still in good condition, you can have a white reflective RENOLIT ALKORPLAN Bright roofing membrane E installed on the roof section where solar panels will be fitted. This way, you...

Long-lasting thermal comfort Furthermore, by choosing RENOLIT ALKORPLAN Bright this will avoid any long term loss of insulation value. By reducing the temperature of the roof, the insulation resistance will last longer, ensuring a positive impact on the overall performance of the roof system. Increased return Thinking of installing solar panels? Then you should know that in combination with the RENOLIT ALKORPLAN Bright roofing membrane the return is extremely attractive. Figures show that solar panels perform much better on white reflective surfaces rather than on darker colours. Two...
