The RENOLIT ALKORPLAN Smart membrane, developed by the RENOLIT Research and Development Department, is the new standard in the roof waterproofing sector and is able to offer the best yield with the minimum use of resources.
With thicknesses of just 1.2 mm, RENOLIT ALKORPLAN Smart not only provides buildings with watertight sealing and mechanical and chemical resistance, but also energy savings, sustainability, versatility and impeccable aesthetics.
This product, a part of the RENOLIT ALKORPLAN family, has Solar Shield Technology, a special coating that protects the outer surface of the membrane from UV rays to offer incomparable endurance.
This revolutionary technology offers a high capacity to reflect solar irradiation, thanks to the use of special ‘cool pigments’ that maintain low surface temperatures. Its SRI – Solar Reflectance Index – 62.8 in grey and 82.5 in ivory – is in fact far higher than the standard colours (e.g. 67.7° C for a standard grey vs 58.7° C for cool grey).
A RENOLIT ALKORPLAN Smart roof significantly increases the thermal comfort of the premises, while contributing to economy savings for the user in terms of cooling and air-conditioning.
Compared to traditional membranes, RENOLIT ALKORPLAN Smart is less sensitive to heat so is more resistant to extreme cycles of heat and cold, thus slowing the ageing process.
A unique product on the market, representing the first real breakthrough in the roofing industry since the invention of the cool roof. This is the way to future innovation: using fewer resources to do more, to perform better and to last longer.
