Cooler Esky"

Giday mate, who stocks the stuff ?

Cheers......Lionel.

Acratex ??? There is a wide range of products here but can't find one which has heat resistance/deflection.

There is a mob in S.A. called Astec. They also make a membrane product for roofs also that sounds very similar and is claimed to work the same way. I don't know about the roofing, but a similar product they sell for external walls works very well indeed. Thet sell a lot of it in SE Asia. We have had it on our house for three years and are very happy with it. Interested in the roof product Darrel, just much do you think it has dropped the internal temp?

Just type "heat reflecting paint" into Google and you will get heaps of these products. Some may supply smaller quantities. There used to be a couple that advertised in Caravan World but I have not a copy of it in hand. They certainly supply small quantities.

if you have a GOOD insulation barrier between the outerskin and inside skin then dont bother wasting your money

I have the same stuff on my roof (just completed a few weeks ago, cannot say it cooled down by 20 degrees but does seem cooler as air con have not gone on at all so far.

The only issue I have with the stuff is it gets sort of sticky if walking on it in the heat and it holds the dirt when doing that.

Of course I'm renovating the house so have to be on and off the roof, will give it a gentle clean to remove the dirty marks, hopfully it cleans easy.

I would say good insulation is much better but if you cannot do this worth a go.

Air conditioning would struggle to cool a house by 20 degrees!

I dont know where u live shaker,,,not NQ i bet !!
Temps get to 38 to 40 here in summer ...
Take 20deg away, leaves about 20deg.....
If an aircon could not take 20deg of the outside temp
what good would it be!!!???AIRCON COULD NOT DO IT????
