Intense urbanization is the latest trend. The rapid urbanization is contributing to the development of infrastructure and concrete jungles. The structure exposed to the direct sunlight gets heated up with elevated surface temperatures up to 70 deg C high, leading to the thermal discomfort indoors, increased electricity bills, consequently has an effect on regional weather, through modification of climatic variables. The urban regions thus experience warmer air temperatures & which contributes to the increased UHI. The extreme variation in temperature also increases the expansion & contraction rates of the structure, leading to the crack redevelopment , reopening & thus water seepage.
Challenges faced by the residential & Builder Persona -
a. Increased Indoor temperature.
Since the atmospheric temperature is increasing day by day, going up to 50 Deg in some area of the country, India being Solar dominant country. Thermal discomfort indoors becomes a big challenge. After Covid times, AC also needs to be used with caution, with some ventilation & temperature set to above 26 Deg as recommended by ASHRAE, as per new norms. To have thermal comfort in these consequences, Cool high SRI Roof Coatings & Cool Wall paints plays an important role, that does not allow your roofs & the walls getting heated up. Additionally, thermal insulation of the roofs and walls will allow cooling of AC to be intact & cooling effect prolonged, leading to electricity savings.
b. Water leakage
Normally all waterproofing companies are selling pdts and Waterproofing contractors do the application with their limited knowledge. Moreover they do not touch the root cause of water leakage which is the crack redevelopment & reopening due to temperature variation by heating of the structures. Any waterproofing treatment for exposed structures is incomplete if its not protected by the Cool coatings to reduce the temperature variations with high SRI & UV resistant materials.
Frequent water leakage also leads to increased maintenance of the buildings, paints reapplications, bad indoor air quality issues & weakening of the structures by reinforcement corrosion.
c. Frequent Wood Finishes maintenance / lack of water base wood coatings
Presently in the market, eco-friendly & water base finishes are not available with proper sustainable performance. Once the new furniture or wooden work is done the smell of the paints & coatings for wood persists for months due to the VOC components. Furthermore, the quality of the finishes in water-based finishes do not give sustainable performance & life bringing up the maintenance costs.
Panache is not only a product provider but also a solution provider for any building requirement. Panache offers high-performance energy-saving solutions through its extensive range of products and services for an integrated system of – Heat Reflective Cooling, Thermal Insulation & Waterproofing to envelop complete construction ensuring the construction is cool, crack-free, algae & fungus free & watertight. All the products of panache are Green Pro & GRIHA certified.
The use of Panache products in any project will help the Building to have green features beside contributing to combat the climate change:
Increase in Thermal Comfort
Reduce energy consumption, thus, Less Cooling costs
Reduce maintenance costs
Improved indoor air quality
Improved aesthetics with longer life
Increased GHG emissions
Incraesed CO2 Offset
Longer life of construction
For residents, this means more comfortable and low-maintenance living and for builders, using such products can help them create their Unique Selling Point of having a Green Building.
Panache thermal insulation segment suffices the requirement of energy efficiency and manages the efficiency of the AC usage, managing the sustained cooling of the premises by preventing cooling loss.
The complete thermal insulation envelop with mineral & cement base material is the USP of Panache, providing solution to the problem of crack development. The flagship products for thermal insulation are -
The Eco-friendly water-based waterproofing products, Systems & water repellents of Panache help to provide waterproofing to the structures. This reduces the maintenance cost along with the improved air quality indoors, preventing the roofs & walls from dampness.
The high LRV(light Reflection Value), and Low VOC interior paints provide improved air quality with no smell, No Lead, and No Chromate.
Water-based wood finishes- sealers, lacquers & Oil finishes also contribute to the Green building material without VOC & heavy metals, making the labor to work with nonhazardous materials adding to the health benefits for them and the occupants.
We are associated with the leading organizations in India and abroad and are in constant engagement with them to further their efforts on environmental sustainability for our planet.
A Cool Roof coatings consists of a binder (usually an organic compound or silicone compound) blended with pigments and other additives to provide two main benefits: protection of roof membranes for longer roof life cycles; and reflectivity of solar radiation, for lower air conditioning costs.
The main components of most Cool Roof coatings are the binder, pigment, water and reflective pigments. Water serves as a liquid carrier, which provides viscosity, allowing the pigment and binder to be spread on the roof as a thin coating. The majority of white coatings in use today are water-based coatings
An energy efficient , white, reflective, elastomeric coating manufactured by Panache can reflect up to 92% of visible light, keeping the roof surface much cooler than with aluminum, black, or non-reflective roofing materials. Lower temperatures mean less energy usage, and translate to money saved. Elastomeric roof coatings protect the roof substrate adding years to your roof, plus saves against costly tear-offs and re-roofing.
