📈 LANKATILES Launches Sri Lanka’s First Solar Reflective 'Cool Rooftop Tile'
• Product Launch: LANKATILES has introduced COOL ROOFTOP TILE®, the country’s first solar reflective rooftop tile engineered to combat indoor thermal retention amidst climbing temperatures. • The Technology: The tiles feature an advanced technology boasting a certified Solar Reflectance Index (SRI) of greater than 96, which actively reflects the majority of the sun’s infrared and ultraviolet rays back into the atmosphere before heat penetrates concrete slabs. • Key Benefits: • Cooler Spaces: Regulates baseline indoor temperatures by reducing heat transfer. • Energy Efficiency: Mitigates the reliance on air conditioning, lowering electricity utility bills. • Space Optimization: Keeps open-to-sky terraces and balconies comfortable underfoot during peak daylight hours. • Economic & Green Context: The innovation supports sustainable building practices by offering passive thermal defense, aligning with green building certifications demanding higher energy performance ratings, and helping reduce the urban heat island effect.
