Tileguard® Heatguard

HEAT REFLECTIVE COATING FOR COOLER ROOFS

Tileguard® Heatguard is an innovative high-solids 100% acrylic water-based coating designed to maximise heat reflection on most roofing surfaces while providing superior protection and longevity. 

This groundbreaking product helps reduce roof cavity temperatures, improving energy efficiency while maintaining excellent durability and appearance.

Why Choose Tileguard® Heatguard
  • Superior heat reflection: Repels solar heat to reduce roof and interior temperatures
  • Energy efficiency: Helps lower cooling costs in summer months
  • Excellent durability: Withstands harsh Australian conditions
  • Premium appearance: Maintains attractive finish over time
  • Safe for rainwater: Certified safe for use on roofs that collect drinking water
  • 10-year warranty: Guaranteed professional results
  • Australian made: Formulated specifically for local climate challenges

Heatguard uses advanced heat reflective technology to repel solar heat rather than absorb it. While lighter colours naturally provide better heat reflection, Heatguard’s special formulation enhances the heat reflective properties even in darker colours.

The TSR (Total Solar Reflectance) value of Heatguard colours is significantly higher than standard coatings in the same shade, resulting in cooler roof temperatures and reduced heat transfer to interior spaces.

  • Buildings requiring reduced interior temperatures
  • Energy-conscious property owners
  • Areas with high solar exposure
  • Homes with poor insulation or no air conditioning
  • Projects where both appearance and efficiency matter

PRO TIP:

Ensure full opacity with both coats for maximum heat reflection. Avoid application when surface temperatures exceed 40°C for proper film formation.

  • Application method: Airless spray recommended
  • Coverage: Approximately 90 m² per 20L pail for cement tiles; 120 m² per 20L for metal surfaces
  • Dry time: Allow 2 hours between coats
  • Suitable surfaces: Most properly prepared/primed/sealed roofing surfaces
  • Temperature range: Not recommended below 14°C or above 32°C
  • Surface temperature: Should be above 10°C and not exceed 45°C
  • Composition: High solids 100% acrylic with heat reflective technology
  • Clean up: Water
  • Container size: 20L pails
  1. Ensure the surface has been properly prepared, cleaned, and primed or sealed.
  2. Check surface temperature – if it’s too hot to touch, it’s too hot to paint.
  3. Cement tiles: Apply first coat at 90 m² per 20L pail, allow 2 hours drying.
  4. Metal surfaces: Apply first coat at 120 m² per 20L pail, allow 2 hours drying.
  5. Apply a second coat for maximum heat reflection and durability.

For optimal results, use Heatguard as part of a complete system:

Step 1: Thorough high-pressure cleaning

Step 2: Appropriate primer or sealer based on surface

Step 3: Two coats of Tileguard® Heatguard for maximum heat reflection

Non-hazardous in dry film form and suitable for drinking water collection (disconnect downpipes for two good rainfalls before reconnecting). Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
