Master the light and protect your greenhouse
Raw sunlight is your greatest asset and your biggest challenge. Our advanced coatings allow you to filter infrared heat, diffuse light for deeper penetration, and create the perfect micro-climate for year-round production.
Cool roofing
Cooler buildings when the heat rises
Cool roofing coatings reflect sunlight on the roof, limiting the effect of heat inside a building. The result: better working conditions, less heat stress for the people and livestock inside, lower cooling costs and less degradation of roofing material. Lumiforte puts decades of expertise in light and heat protection coatings to work on cooling buildings.
WHY INDUSTRIAL ROOFS NEED COOL ROOFING
Under the sun's rays, building roofs absorb heat and temperature builds up from the roof, all the way into the heart of the building. Workstations become hard to bear, livestock suffers, and cooling systems run longer and harder. Meanwhile global temperatures keep rising, and heat spells are getting more frequent and longer every summer. Acting on the roof is therefore the most direct way to keep a comfortable indoor temperature, without raising energy consumption.
on the roof surface
In full sun, the surface of a dark roof can climb to 88°C.
Of building energy consumption
Cooling a building, air conditioning included, uses around 20% of the electricity consumed over a year, a share that could rise to 30% by 2050.
of energy saved
Compared with a livestock building with nothing on the roof, the building where Cool-FX was applied used 12% less energy, with 7.3°C less inside (poultry farm trial, Türkiye, 2024).
Temporary cool roofing brings the temperature down
BRING THE TEMPERATURE DOWN WHEN IT MATTERS MOST
Cool-FX is a temporary white coating, sprayed onto building roofs before the summer. It sends the sun's light and heat back before the structure absorbs them: up to 40°C less on the roof surface and 7°C less inside, and all of it without electricity. UV, rain, wind and time then break the coating down naturally, and the building takes in the sun's warmth again when it is welcome, in winter.

MASTER THE BUILDING TEMPERATURE
Our cool roofing coatings help master the temperature of industrial, agricultural, storage and office buildings.
COOL-FX
Temporary roof cooling, for one summer at a time.
- Up to 40°C less on the roof surface and 7°C less inside
- No electricity used and less strain on existing cooling systems
- Temporary protection, broken down naturally by UV, rain and wind
less on the roof surface
Applying Cool-FX on the roof brings the roof surface temperature down by up to 40°C.
less inside
Applying Cool-FX on the roof brings the temperature down by up to 7°C inside the building.
of continuous protection
One application of Cool-FX covers the whole warm season, then wears off in time for the winter months.

Is Cool-FX right for your roof?
Every building comes with different constraints: roof type, climate, activity and operating rhythm. The Lumiforte technical team reviews the situation and advises whether Cool-FX is the right answer, and in which version.
