Boysen Cool Shades

Just like Boysen Roofgard, Boysen Cool Shades is a water-based roof paint that’s durable and dependable. What takes it up a notch is an additional feature that makes it a great choice for Filipinos who have to deal with the Philippines’ blazing hot summers.

Boysen Cool Shades is a heat-reflecting roof paint and can keep your home cooler and more comfortable in hot weather. It does this by utilizing infrared-reflecting (IR) pigments. The IR pigments bounce back light hitting your roof before it can turn into heat that’s absorbed by your house. This then reduces heat build-up resulting to a cooler home.

You can be sure that it works too. Boysen Cool Shades was tested by the Department of Science and Technology (DOST). Results showed an up to 15ºC decrease in surface temperature on sample materials with Cool Shades versus conventional roof coating. It will also stay this way as Boysen Cool Shades’ 100% acrylic binder preserves the heat-reflecting properties over time (a.k.a. for several more Philippine summers).

Boysen Cool Shades also comes in a glossy finish in several shades. For an optimum cooling effect, a water-based white metal primer is recommended such as the Boysen Primeguard B-4301 White for surfaces that have never been painted.
