Silicone Coating Articles and Insights

The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region stands at the crossroads of environmental urgency and technological opportunity. With buildings consuming up to 80% of electricity—much of it spent on cooling—rethinking the role of rooftops is critical. This article provides an in-depth look at the future of sustainable roofing in MENA, identifying game-changing trends, innovations, […]

In recent years, environmental health has become a growing concern in the Arab construction sector. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) present in many construction materials can negatively impact air quality and contribute to serious health and environmental issues. For contractors, developers, and facility managers across the GCC and MENA, choosing low-VOC roofing products is no longer […]

In Saudi Arabia’s scorching climate, maintaining manageable indoor temperatures in industrial settings is a constant struggle—and a major cost driver. This case study dives into the story of how a leading manufacturing plant in Riyadh cut cooling expenses by 23% in under 18 months using SolarExsys’s white reflective silicone roof coating. Project Overview Location: Riyadh, […]

With rising temperatures, increasing energy consumption, and urban heat islands becoming a growing concern, Arab nations are adopting stringent green building codes and energy efficiency regulations. One of the most effective and widely promoted strategies is the implementation of cool roofs. This article explores the key cool roof mandates across the Arab world and how […]

In the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries—Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Oman—temperatures routinely soar past 45°C. For commercial and industrial buildings, choosing the right roof coating can mean the difference between efficient energy use and excessive cooling costs. In this article, we provide a detailed comparison of the three most common roof coating […]

Solar energy adoption is accelerating across Arab nations, from the UAE and Saudi Arabia to Egypt and Morocco. However, one often overlooked challenge in optimizing solar panel performance in these hot climates is the rooftop temperature. In extreme heat, conventional rooftops can hinder the efficiency of solar panels. That’s where SolarExsys’s high-performance white reflective silicone […]

With extreme summer temperatures and growing urbanization, Arab countries face critical challenges in maintaining energy-efficient buildings. This article identifies the top 5 issues and explains how SolarExsys’s white silicone coatings provide a practical solution. Challenge 1: Overheating Roof Surfaces Roofs absorb up to 80% of solar energy, especially in Gulf countries. This raises interior temperatures […]

Introduction: The Climate Challenge Across Arab Nations The Arab world, spanning from North Africa to the Middle East, faces some of the most intense heat conditions on the planet. With countries like Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Egypt experiencing prolonged sun exposure and high temperatures, cooling demands skyrocket—resulting in soaring energy costs. This is where […]

1. How Much Roof Coating Do You Need? In order to estimate how much roof coating you’ll need, you first have to estimate the total square footage of your roof’ssurface. Measure the length and width of each plane on the roof, including dormers. Then, multiply length x width toget the square footage of each plane. […]
