Ceramic Thermal Barrier CoatingsSan Antonio & South Texas
High-performance heat-blocking coatings for commercial & industrial buildings. Super Therm® certified applicators delivering measurable energy savings and long-term protection.
What Is a Ceramic Thermal Barrier Coating?
A ceramic thermal barrier coating is a high-performance coating system containing microscopic ceramic spheres designed to reflect radiant heat rather than absorb it. Unlike traditional insulation, ceramic coatings work by reducing heat transfer at the surface level—keeping roofs and structures cooler before heat enters the building envelope.
When properly applied, ceramic thermal barrier coatings can:
- ●Reflect up to 95% of radiant heat
- ●Reduce roof surface temperatures by 50–80°F
- ●Lower interior temperatures by 10–25°F
- ●Decrease HVAC demand and energy costs
- ●Extend the service life of existing roofing systems
These coatings are especially effective in hot, high-sun environments like South Texas, where radiant heat is a major contributor to rising cooling costs. At Superior Coatings of South Texas, we provide advanced ceramic coating systems designed for extreme Texas heat and industrial environments.
Why Choose Ceramic Thermal Barrier Coatings in Texas?
Texas buildings endure intense solar exposure, prolonged heat waves, and high rooftop temperatures that accelerate roof deterioration and increase energy usage. Ceramic thermal barrier coatings provide a smart, cost-effective solution for:
- ●Metal roofs
- ●Flat and low-slope roofs
- ●Industrial facilities
- ●Warehouses and distribution centers
- ●Retail and office buildings
- ●Agricultural structures
- ●Churches and community buildings
Rather than trapping heat like some insulation systems, ceramic coatings block and reflect heat at the surface, improving building performance year-round.
Benefits of Ceramic Thermal Barrier Roof Coatings
Significant Energy Savings
Many of our clients experience average energy savings of up to 40%, especially during peak cooling months. Reduced heat gain means HVAC systems run less often and more efficiently.
Lower Roof Temperatures
Ceramic coatings dramatically reduce rooftop heat, protecting roofing materials from thermal expansion, UV degradation, and premature failure.
Extended Roof Life
By shielding roofs from UV radiation, moisture intrusion, and temperature extremes, ceramic thermal barrier coatings can extend roof lifespan by 10–20 years.
Cost-Effective Alternative
Coating systems cost a fraction of full roof replacement and can often be applied with minimal disruption to operations.
Environmentally Friendly
Lower energy usage reduces carbon footprint and supports sustainability initiatives without sacrificing performance.
Minimal Disruption
Application can often be completed while buildings remain operational, avoiding costly downtime.
