The building gets too hot

Problem guide · Roof and waterproofing

The building gets too hot

A dark roof covering absorbs a lot of solar heat.

Problem · cause · effect

First understand what is going on.
Only then choose a system.

01 / SIGNAL

What you can observe

Hoge ruimtetemperaturen en een sterke thermische belasting van het dak.

02 / BUSINESS CONSEQUENCE

Why timely assessment helps

Heat can influence comfort, installation load and aging; the actual savings remain building-specific.

03 / SOLUTION DIRECTION

What is being technically investigated

Investigate a white, reflective and at the same time waterproof system structure in connection with insulation and building use.

Possible causes

The visible complaint is not always the real cause.

These causes constitute a targeted checklist, not a remote diagnosis.

01

Aging or local defects in existing roof layers

02

Vulnerable seams, drains, curbs or penetrations

03

Moisture, contamination or an unsuitable previous repair

Project-specific control

Three components determine the correct next step.

The Problem Guide provides direction, but does not make an unfounded material claim. For a final system choice, we check the situation on location or based on sufficient project information.

  1. 01Roof structure, age and existing layers
  2. 02Moisture, adhesion, drainage and critical details
  3. 03Reachability, business risk and execution window

Value of a complete approach

Don't just recover.
Making the project manageable.

  • Determine cause and treatment limit before selecting material
  • Retain usable existing roof parts where responsible
  • Plan work areas, weather and business continuity in advance

In-depth and evidence

From recognizable problem to verifiable project information.

Frequently asked questions

Answered briefly and technically honestly.

Can PolyShield immediately recommend a system?+

First, the cause, substrate, size and project context are checked. An appropriate system direction can then be substantiated.

What information helps with an initial assessment?+

Project address, general scope, some overview and detailed photos, building use and desired planning are usually sufficient to get started.

Do I have to re-enter all the data?+

No. Choices from the Problem Guide are automatically taken to the next tool and project request.

Verouderd donker bitumen bedrijfsdak in Vlaardingen vóór renovatieVóórNa

Eigen projectbewijs

PS / TRANSFORMATION 01 · Vlaardingen · Circa 500 m²

Een zichtbare ingreep tegen sterke zonnewarmte op het dak.

De vóór/na-vergelijking toont een donker bitumendak en het lichte 2K-eindmembraan na renovatie.

Ondergrond
Verouderd bitumen
Resultaat
Een doorlopend licht dakoppervlak dat minder zonnewarmte absorbeert dan het oorspronkelijke donkere bitumen.

Short route to implementation

Check with two questions whether the project fits.

The project fit prevents an unnecessarily long application. Your problem situation is selected in advance and known data then travels automatically.
