CoolWall

The Tex Cote CoolWall system is unlike anything else on the market. It actually keeps the house cooler by reflecting the sun's heat and can save you up to 21.9% on your cooling costs, according to testing done by the U.S. Dept. of Energy. The coating is a class "A" fire retardant so you can rest assured that every part of your home that is coated is also protected. It is the only product of its kind that warranties against efflorescence, that powdery, crumbling problem so common to stucco. It is mold and fungus resistant so those splotchy stains you may have seen on your home will be a thing of the past. Also because of its water resistance dirt can't penetrate into the pores of stucco making it simple to clean off. If you use regular paint you have to be use to it chipping and peeling, especially areas that are exposed to the sun or water, but with the CoolWall system you will enjoy the same beautiful house 15, 20, even 25 years later because of the life time warranty against all of these problems so common to inferior products.

This paint contains a revolutionary, infrared heat reflective pigment that reduces the temperature of an exterior wall by 40° when compared to traditional paint. CoolWall can reduce cooling bills by up to 21.9%. It affords excellent protection for the exterior surface of the house so that once applied it will no longer chip, flake, peel or stain and is fade resistant. CoolWall™ earns from 5-20 points for LEED certification.

Efflorescence

One problem that plagues stucco is efflorescence. Moisture is the cause. It is common at the base of the house near planters, grass or where sprinklers hit the walls. Water absorbs into stucco like a hard sponge and will even wick upward.  It will then start to disintegrate and it will begin to bubble and crumble away with a salty looking powder. If you put paint on stucco you will seal up the pores and trap moisture inside the wall. Texcote's CoolWall System is the only product on the market that guarantees against this. Although it is water resistant it is breathable allowing the necessary air flow to keep the wall dry. Before we apply the product we remove all deteriorating areas and treat them to kill the cancerous process. We then re-stucco to match the existing texture and then spray on Texcote to the whole wall even 4"-6" below ground wherever there is dirt in contact with the wall so water won't  soak in from below grade.

Chipping and Peeling

Everyone has seen paint that is cracking and falling off of a house. Texcote is guaranteed not to chip, peel or flake for the lifetime that you own the house, we even cover the labor for 25 years! Because it is an elastomeric coating it is able to stretch across small splits and cracks in the substrate.  Also the large amount of titanium give the coating a strength even greater than what lead provided without the toxicity
