Climate change poses ever-increasing challenges to the construction industry. Extreme weather events such as heat, heavy rain, floods, storms and hail are increasing and call for materials that can withstand extreme conditions. With its many advantages organic, colofer®, the coated steel strip made by voestalpine, plays an increasingly important role.
With rising temperatures and intense sunlight, UV resistance is becoming a key criterion for outdoor materials. With regard to colorfastness and form, for example, colofer® PLUS and colofer® UV are stable much longer than comparable materials. These properties ensure longer service life in facades and roofs, thus significantly reducing maintenance costs and providing aesthetic advantages.
Your choice of the color of your colofer® can also make a contribution to environmental sustainability. Bright colors reflect sunlight and help keep buildings and their surroundings cool. This is a very simple but effective way of counteracting the rise in city and building temperatures and reducing the energy consumed by air conditioning systems.
Construction and roofing materials must also be able to withstand hailstorms in the increasingly frequent weather extremes. Thanks to its innovative coating, colofer® offers high impact resistance and efficiently absorbs the impact energy of hailstones. This prevents dents or other damage to the surface and ensures a consistent look even after repeated storms.
The further development of colofer® is focused on future-oriented solutions that even more effectively meet the requirements of climate change. Heat-reflecting pigments are particularly effective in lowering facade surface temperatures.
Thanks to its durability and the innovative use of paints and coatings, colofer® offers a sustainable and future-proof solution in building construction. At a time when extreme weather conditions are becoming increasingly common, it is crucial to be able to rely on materials that are both resistant, environmentally compatible and energy-efficient. colofer® makes an important contribution to a climate-conscious and future-oriented construction industry.
