A black coating that remains cool even on the sunniest day? With new Resene Cool Colours, you can now specify dark colours and keep your cool. Dark colours on areas such as roofing are suntraps soaking in the sun’s rays placing significant relentless stress on the coating and the substrate.
New Resene ‘cool’ colours reflect energy in the near and far infra red region of the spectrum while absorbing strongly in the visible region to give a colour that looks the same as normal but absorbs less heat. In hot summer conditions ‘cool’ colours will help keep the roof temperature down, minimising the energy required to keep homes and buildings maintained at a comfortable temperature. The reduced stress on the coating and substrate will also increase their expected lifetime. Visit your local Resene ColorShop to view the ‘cool’ colour range.

The revolutionary design of the new Euroslider sliding door conceals the door’s operating mechanism at the top, leaving the sill surface sleek and clean.

The outside sliding panels and flat sill design also provide great weathertightness, which allows water to drain away freely.
