Introduction To TEX•COTE®

In the sun-drenched landscapes of Phoenix and Tucson, maintaining a comfortable indoor environment while managing energy costs is a significant concern for homeowners. Arizona General Contractor Inc. stands at the forefront of addressing this challenge by offering innovative solutions like TEX•COTE® COOLWALL® systems. As a licensed contractor and a leading dealer of this energy-saving product in Southwest Arizona, the company is dedicated to enhancing home efficiency and aesthetics.

What is TEX•COTE®

TEX•COTE® is a revolutionary exterior coating system designed to reduce surface temperatures and improve energy efficiency. Unlike standard paint, TEX•COTE® utilizes reflective pigments that help deflect sunlight, thereby keeping surfaces cooler and reducing the heat absorbed by buildings. This technology makes TEX•COTE® an excellent choice for properties in the hot climate of Southwest Arizona.

Key Benefits of TEX•COTE®:

  • Reduces exterior wall temperatures by up to 40 degrees Fahrenheit

  • Lowers energy costs by decreasing the workload on HVAC systems

  • Provides a long-lasting, fade-resistant finish

  • Offers superior resistance to cracking, peeling, and chipping

  • Environmentally friendly and LEED-compliant

What Does the Department of Energy Say About TEX•COTE®

Application Process of TEX•COTE®

Applying TEX•COTE® involves a meticulous process to ensure optimal performance and longevity:

  1. Surface Preparation: The existing surface is thoroughly cleaned to remove dirt, mildew, and loose paint.

  2. Repair: Any cracks or imperfections are repaired to create a smooth, uniform surface.

  3. Primer Application: A specialized primer is applied to enhance adhesion and provide a stable base for the topcoat.

  4. Topcoat Application: The TEX•COTE® topcoat is applied, providing a durable, weather-resistant finish.

Color Options

One of the standout features of TEX•COTE® products is the extensive range of color options available. Unlike traditional paints that may require light colors to achieve energy efficiency, TEX•COTE® coatings utilize special reflective pigments that allow for darker shades while still reflecting solar heat. This means homeowners can choose from a broad spectrum of colors without compromising on energy efficiency.

Impact on Utility Bills

By reducing exterior wall temperatures, TEX•COTE® COOLWALL® systems decrease the amount of heat transferred into the home. This reduction in heat gain lessens the demand on air conditioning systems, leading to lower energy consumption and reduced utility bills. The U.S. Department of Energy’s studies have shown that homeowners can save up to 21.9% on cooling costs after applying COOLWALL® coatings.

 

Performance on Tile Roofs and Stucco Walls

TEX•COTE® products are versatile and can be applied to various surfaces commonly found in Southwest Arizona homes:

  • Tile Roofs: The reflective properties of TEX•COTE® coatings can be beneficial when applied to tile roofs, helping to reduce heat absorption and contributing to overall energy efficiency.

  • Stucco Walls: Stucco is a prevalent exterior finish in Arizona. Applying TEX•COTE® to stucco walls not only enhances the aesthetic appeal with a variety of color options but also provides a protective barrier against the harsh sun, reducing heat gain and improving energy efficiency.
