Cool Roof Tiles for Terrace & Buildings

Cool tiles reflect solar heat and emit the radiation back into the atmosphere, thus keeping the environment inside your space cooler. Our cooling tiles for the terrace are composed of materials that resist heat and can also be used as kitchen tiles. Whether you want a tile with a polished surface for an appealing space or a tile with texture and a matte surface for slip resistance, we have tiles in different sizes, textures, and surfaces. We have a patented technology named iM+, which is anti-bacterial and anti-viral, that helps repel bacteria and viruses from the product surface. The collection, such as Alchimia, features this technology with stain resistance and a scratch-resistant surface, along with all the features mentioned. Explore all of our collections and bring the cool tiles to your space today! You can also visit the digital showroom on our website, where you can select tiles, set textures, and designs to create the space of your choice. While in digital visualizer, it is a creative space for architects to design a virtual area from any part of the world.

Types of Cool Tiles

Simpolo offers various types of cool tiles, such as texture tiles,in different colours. Check out below to know the types of cool tiles-

• Reflective tiles- The tiles that emit the absorbed sun rays, keeping the environment inside the space cooler. Use white tiles, especially roof tiles for better reflection, ideal for the rooftop.
• Anti-skid tiles- Tiles that are anti-slip with a slip-resistant surface. For these tiles, prefer a matt finish rather than a glossy one to prevent slipping. Anti skid tiles are perfect for rooftop spaces or on the floor in a bedroom.
• Vitrified cooling tiles- Vitrified tiles are built at a higher temperature, making the tiles durable and resistant to UV rays. Our vitrified tiles are designed to reflect the heat away from the space. Find our cool tiles in various finishes, surfaces, and textures from collections- Alchimia, Venitto, Sparko, and more. Simpolo’s extensive collection offers cool tiles.
• Eco-thermal tiles- Environment-friendly tiles that offer thermal regulation, contributing to a sustainable environment, which helps to regulate the temperature indoors while reducing energy consumption.

Benefits of Using Cooling Tiles

Cooling tiles not only cool the environment but also offer more than one benefit. Key benefits of using cool roof tiles are-

• Temperature reduction- Reduces indoor temperature by reflecting the absorbed sun rays. Valuable for a place where an air conditioning system does not exist, and for places that have higher temperatures during summer.
• Higher durability- Materials used in cool roof tiles offer resistance to UV rays, fading resistance, and scratch resistance, resulting in long-lasting tiles.
• Low maintenance cost- Higher durability, lower thermal cycling, and reduced heat transfer into the space lead to less repair and maintenance.
• Fewer bills- Cool tiles reduce the need for air conditioners by keeping the indoor environment pleasant, resulting in lower energy bills.
• Environment-friendly- Moderate use of electricity means fewer carbon emissions and a smaller carbon footprint, and so reduces global warming.
• UV protection- Simpolo’s tiles are made from materials that resist UV rays, ensuring a better and longer life.
• Easy to maintain- These cooling tiles are easy to clean, need to be mopped during monsoon, and no additional steps are required for cleaning.

How to Install Cool Tiles

Ensure the surface where cooling tiles are installed is clean, or remove debris. Mark the line parallel, lay out a tile to check the measurement. Prepare and spread the adhesive accordingly. Press the tile firmly, starting from the bottom of the roof, when installing wall tiles. Use tile spacers where necessary. Adjust the level of the tile. Let the adhesive set, and apply grout to fill the gaps. Clean the tiles and ensure all white roof tiles are at the same level. Need help calculating how many tiles you need?

Cool Tiles vs Regular Tiles

Cool tiles primarily differ in their ability to reflect the sunlight, while regular tiles absorb heat. Find the more detailed comparison of cool tiles and regular tiles-

Cool Tile Maintenance Tips

• Remove dust with a mop regularly to avoid buildup
• Avoid acidic cleaners that reduce the coating and hence reduce effectiveness
• Check quarterly for cracks before and after extreme weather conditions
• Inspect the grout and apply when necessary to resist water
• Ensure proper drainage to avoid the growth of algae
• Keep the cool roof tiles clean, as stains reduce the solar reflective index of the tiles
• Wash with mild soap if the stain persists
• Check for hidden leaks and schedule an inspection every few years
