📈 LANKATILES Launches Sri Lanka’s First Solar Reflective 'COOL ROOFTOP TILE'
• Product Innovation: LANKATILES PLC has unveiled the country's first solar reflective "COOL ROOFTOP TILE," designed to combat rising local temperatures by mitigating heat transfer from exposed rooftops, balconies, and concrete slab terraces into indoor living areas. • Technical Performance: Developed via extensive local product engineering, the tile's efficiency has been independently verified by the CEPT Advisory Foundation (CAF), India. It achieved a globally recognized Solar Reflectance Index (SRI) value above 96, indicating high capability in reflecting solar radiation and dissipating heat. • Market Context: The tile targets Sri Lanka's construction & building material sector, specifically addressing concrete slab rooftops common in domestic architecture. By lowering surface temperatures, it aims to reduce building heat gain and lower dependence on indoor cooling systems.
