How does the TSR of COLORBOND® Coolmax® steel compare with post-applied options?
Post-applied solutions may initially have a higher Total Solar Reflectance (TSR) value, however studies suggest that the solar reflectance of COLORBOND® Coolmax® steel may be greater in a very short period of time due to its excellent maintenance of TSR. To learn about BlueScope Steel’s studies on solar reflectance and see the results of an Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) metal roofing study comparing the performance of post-painted and pre-painted products, please read the test study.
