Save Money with Nutech Roof Restoration Products

Problem: Many residential and commercial building owners are faced with unattractive or deteriorating metal roofing, tile, asphalt shingle, or rubber roofing, metal siding, fiber cement or asbestos siding and are hoping for a product that lets them restore that surface instead of replacing it.

Huge energy costs for air conditioning are just around the corner – a large part of this cost can be traced to heat building up in attic or plenum spaces beneath the roof and above the living/working area of the building.

Solution: Nutech NXT Cool Zone Paints and Coatings for metal roofing, metal siding, tile, asphalt, and fiber cement roofing and siding.

Nutech NXT Cool Zone Paint, matched with the proper Nutech Primer, can reflect up to 90% of the sun’s infrared radiation, drastically reducing (50 degrees or more) the temperature of attic or plenum spaces.  This can significantly reduce the energy costs for air conditioning.

NXT Cool Zone, available in 37 standard plus custom colors, includes an advanced Heat Reflective technology, coupled with a nanotechnology based self-cleaning surface that sheds dirt and inhibits the buildup of unsightly bacteria, mould, and lichens.

This easy to apply, 3 coat process (primer plus two topcoats) can be used to paint metal roofing and siding, stabilize, restore, and paint asphalt shingle or flat roofing, and recoat/restore tile roofing and has been successful proven over the last forty years in Australia, Asia, and the UK, with over 750,000 successful installations.  Now available in the USA – distributed by iMetal.net, these products are available to roofing and painting contractors, as well as building maintenance companies, contractors, and do-it-yourself commercial businesses and homeowners.

Older metal roof and siding can be immediately rejuvenated and updated to a new color in as little as one day with the Nutech metal roof paint and primer system.  Corporate trade dress colors (including metallic colors on special order) can also be provided.

iMetal.net announces NutechPaintShop.net focus on Metal Roof Paint

iMetal.net today unveiled NutechPaintShop.net, its latest product information and reference site for Nutech Paint.  Featured in this site are Nutech Paint’s various product choices offered for painting metal roof and siding surfaces.

Nutech NXT Cool Zone is an advanced coating for painting and restoring metal roof, asphalt shingle, tile, and “flat roof” surfaces, as well as metal, fiber cement, and asbestos siding.  It provides both an infrared  heat reflecting capability and a nanotechnology-based self cleaning function.

When used to paint a metal roof, for example, NXT Cool Zone Metal Roof Paint in White (one of 37 standard colors available), has been tested to reflect 98.4% of solar infrared heat gain, providing a dramatic reduction in air conditioning expenses for the building.

Nutech also offers Nutech Tileflex, a less expensive choice, with the nanotechnology-based self cleaning capability, but without the heat reflecting component.  Nutech Tileflex can be used to paint metal roofing, as well as asphalt shingles and other surfaces.

Metal Building Owners can use Nutech NXT Cool Zone to paint both metal roofing and metal siding, restoring them to their original appearance or to enhance their appearance with any new, bold color they may choose (custom colors are available).

To properly paint a metal roof, iMetal.net and Nutech Paint recommend first treating any surface rust spots with any of the readily available rust remover products and coating the metal roof with one coat of Nutech’s  Anti-Corrosion Metal Roof Primer.  Then, two coats of either Nutech NXT Cool Zone or Nutech Tileflex are applied with brush, roller, or sprayer (sprayer recommended for best results).

NutechPaintShop.net is focused on informing potential metal roof paint and restoration customers about the unique capabilities and recommended applications for Nutech’s advanced coating technologies.  Nutech Paint, based in Australia, has restored nearly 800,000 roofs worldwide over the past 40 years.
