Our Green Story
At Textured Coatings of America, all of our products are designed to meet or exceed state and local VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) requirements. TEX∙COTE®, a family owned business that has been manufacturing high performance coatings for over 49 years, is the first paint and coatings manufacturer to be granted a patent for heat reflective wall coatings and incorporate post industrial recycled content into our products.
Our flag-ship product, COOLWALL®, is a revolutionary coating system that helps reduce the impact our everyday actions have on the environment. COOLWALL®:
- Contains heat reflective properties to reduce surface temperatures and provide for cooling energy savings and a reduction in greenhouse gases.
- Has heat reflective technology that also leads to increased durability and fade resistance, greatly extending the product life-cycle and reducing the carbon footprint.
- Incorporates post-industrial recycled glass to further increase sustainability.
- Has been recognized by prominent LEED Accredited Professionals as being worthy of submission for LEED credits.
- Lowers cooling electricity usage during peak demand hours, which results in a significant cost savings.
- Has already been documented as contributing toward LEED points on Silver and Gold certified buildings.
- Allows you to experience the environmental benefits of reflectivity without sacrificing color and visual appeal. Providing energy savings in all colors not just white.
- Uses the same infrared heat reflective technology used by the U.S. military to reduce radar signatures on its planes and vehicles.
- Works by reflecting much of the infrared light back into the atmosphere, lowering surface temperatures by up to 40 degrees.
- Was tested and proven by the U.S. Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory to reduce cooling costs by up to 21.9%*.
- Incorporates patented FADE BLOCK™ technology that is virtually immune to the effects of harmful UV radiation, which include degrading paint resulting in fading and chalking.
Textured Coatings of America is dedicated to leading the paint and coatings industry in becoming a true "green" manufacturing company and reducing the impact that we all have on future sustainability. From incorporating recycled content into our product line, to the energy savings and reduced life cycles obtained through COOLWALL® heat reflective coatings, TEX∙COTE® is working towards a more sustainable future for everyone.
