Our Coolest Innovation Yet

We’re keeping buildings cooler and costs down with our PPG DURANAR® ULTRA-COOL® coil coatings range. Introduced in 2001 as the metal building industry’s first cool coating, Ultra-cool is the latest in our leading line-up of technologies, our paints can even change color based on the outside temperature!

Why so Hot?

Ever heard of the “Urban Heat Island” effect? Most people haven’t but it’s the reason metal buildings get so hot. The phenomenon is caused by urban growth and all the heat absorbing roofs in built up areas. More heat means more air conditioning, and what does more air conditioning mean? You guess it, greater energy consumption and more energy-related pollution.

Let’s Cool it Down

Ultra-Cool coatings represent an important breakthrough in metal coatings because they help customers meet regulatory and environmental requirements. We also need to think about beautification which means our cool products also come in a full palette of colors that fulfill architect and designer’s needs. The PPG DuranarUltra-Cool coil coatings system offers more heat reflectivity than virtually any other roofing material available, allowing customers to make significant energy savings while also having the choice of different colors.
