TEX•COTE®’s high-quality, long-lasting products are crafted with expertise and sustainability in mind to deliver our customers with nothing short of the best. We’ve blogged about our new connections, vibrant reputation, and special ingredients in our coatings. Now it’s time to reveal our 10-step exterior COOLWALL® coating process. TEX•COTE® doesn’t make paint. We make high-quality coatings that outlive and outperform our competitors’ products. We are able to make these claims based on the application process and the many benefits TEX•COTE®’s COOLWALL® with Kynar® coatings offer. Our sustainable coatings eliminate the constant costs associated with repainting, reduce cooling costs, and come with a life-time warranty. The warranty only stands if the coating is applied correctly, which is why we want to breakdown the process for you. Step 1: Inspection Before a TEX•COTE® authorized applicator can begin coating your home, they inspect your home’s exterior for areas that need attention. For instance, the applicator must be aware of any cracks or damaged areas before continuing the process. Step 2: Trenching TEX•COTE®’s coatings are not applied like traditional paints are. The next step involves trenching around the perimeter of your home to prevent ground moisture intrusion and decay. Trenching enhances the structural stability of your home (or any other structure you coat with TEX•COTE®’s coatings) by protecting it from bottom to top. Coatings that are applied without trenching leave your home more vulnerable to moisture and decay over time. Step 3: Pressure Washing This step is crucial to achieving a clean, dirt-free home that is ready for application. Cleaning with high-power pressure washers removes any dirt, stains, mildew, and loose layers of paint that could hinder the coating. This creates a clean canvas for a TEX•COTE® authorized applicator to work on during the rest of the process. Step 4: Repair and Patch Any areas with cracking or decay are repaired and patched to create a sound, uniform surface for coating. When coating your home, we believe it is crucial to have a consistent, clean look, which is why this stage is crucial. Step 5: Masking The parts of your home that will not be applied with TEX•COTE®’s coatings will be carefully covered to prevent overspray. This includes doors, shrubs, trim, windows, and any other surfaces you do not want coated. Step 6: COOLWALL® Primer An authorized applicator is ready to apply a Hi-Reflective-Smooth Primer or Hi-Build-Textured Primer to your home. It is sprayed on thick to create an armor-like surface that protects your home from damage. Step 7: Primer Inspection The primer coat is inspected to ensure proper thickness and uniform appearance. We believe it is crucial to double-check during the TEX•COTE® COOLWALL® application process because we know your time is valuable. Step 8: COOLWALL® with Kynar® Finish It’s time to apply color! The heat-reflective finish you have chosen for your home is applied to provide a beautiful, protected surface. Step 9: TRIM•COTE® The same heat-reflective finish is applied to your trim, windows, and other surfaces that require attention to detail during the coating process. Step 10: Clean Up Once the heat-reflective finish is applied and dry, your property is left tidy, clean, and beautiful – just like your home! After 10 carefully completed steps, your home displays its vibrancy with a sustainable coating that saves you money on cooling costs and repainting.

TEX•COTE®’s COOLWALL® System was recently highlighted in an article on green-building coatings featured in the April/ May issue of the Journal of Architectural Coatings magazine. COOL WALL JOINS ROOF AS DEMAND GROW FOR CLIMATE CHANGE IN BUILDING AND DESIGN In the warp-speed-evolving world of green and sustainable building and design, cool is hot. Translation: Building designers and owners everywhere are hot on the trail of materials and technologies that help keep buildings cool inside when the temperature outside is on the rise. In this global anti-warming climate of design, descriptors such as “white,””reflective,” ad “cool roof” evoke warm and fuzzy feelings about a building’s performance in the context of energy usage. The building roof has served as the focal point of most heat-deflecting paint and coating technologies, but a migration to other assemblies is a likely progression, by means of advanced materials that promise to ease the impact of solar radiation on building-interior temperatures. Cool roof, meet your new partner on the green-building coatings team - the cool wall. Textured Coatings of America, Inc., Panama City, FL, says the infrared-reflective (IR) exterior coating, TEX•COTE® SUPER•COTE™ COOL WALL™ has been shown to take some the edge off the effect of hot weather on energy demand -- to the tune of a nearly 22% reduction in air-conditioning demand in one comparison demonstration. The waterborne, high-build acrylic coating product was put to the test in a program carried out by Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s Building Envelope Group. In the testing, the exteriors of adjacent buildings in three different locations — southern Arizona, northern Florida, and eastern Tennessee — were pointed with two types of exterior coatings, one of them the COOL WALL reflective product. Andre Desjarlais, group leader of the Oak Ridge Building Envelope Group, says the results of the testing indicated that the IR coating product exhibited reflectivity that was about 25 points higher than the conventional “control” coating used for comparison. Desjarlais said the effects on energy demand climates with greater solar radiation revealed a more dramatic difference between the reflective and conventional products. Desjarlais added that the reflective coatings were also shown to generate a greater effect in keeping building interiors cooler when applied to wall assemblies with insulation. The effect was not as dramatic — energy savings of 10% of less — in building assemblies with insulation that meets current code guidelines. The IR coating formula contains less than 150 grams per liter (g/L) of VOCs, a level that meets the limits listed in the Green Seal GS 11 standard for paint and coatings. Also offered is a version of the product that meets a 50 g/L VOC limit of the South Coat Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) in California. A typical coating system includes a smooth or textured primer and IR coating topcoat. The cooling can be used on concrete, masonry, brick, and previously painted substrates of other types.
