COMMERCIAL & INDUSTRIAL RADIANT DEFENSE
CONTROL RADIANT HEAT. PROTECT YOUR BUILDING.
Large commercial and industrial buildings can absorb enormous amounts of solar energy through their roofs and exterior surfaces. Metal warehouses, shops, storage facilities, and other large structures can become extremely hot long before the workday is over.
Area 361 Radiant Defense provides professional spray-applied radiant barrier systems designed to reduce unwanted radiant heat transfer and help create a more manageable interior environment.
Our systems can be applied to existing buildings as well as new construction, depending on the substrate and application.
THE ROOF IS A MAJOR SOURCE OF HEAT GAIN
A commercial roof exposed to direct sunlight can become significantly hotter than the space below it.
That heat is transferred through the building by conduction, convection, and radiation. Radiant barrier systems specifically address the radiant component of heat transfer.

BUILDING INTERIOR
RADIANT DEFENSE creates a low-emissivity, reflective surface that helps reduce radiant heat transfer from the heated roof toward cooler interior surfaces.
Potential interior temperature reductions of approximately 10–25°F+, depending on building characteristics and conditions.
Results vary based on building design, climate, roof material, insulation, ventilation, HVAC systems, application, and other conditions.
WHAT COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS CAN BENEFIT?
Our commercial applications can include:
WAREHOUSES
Large roof areas can create significant heat loads. Radiant Defense can help reduce radiant heat entering occupied or storage areas.
MANUFACTURING FACILITIES
Help create a more manageable environment for employees and equipment in large industrial spaces.
METAL BUILDINGS
Metal roofs and walls exposed to direct sunlight can absorb substantial heat. Appropriate interior or exterior applications can help address that heat load.
COMMERCIAL SHOPS
Automotive shops, fabrication facilities, repair shops, and maintenance buildings can benefit from reducing radiant heat from overhead surfaces.
STORAGE FACILITIES
Help reduce heat transfer in storage buildings where maintaining a more moderate interior environment is important.
DISTRIBUTION & LOGISTICS
Large roof decks and loading areas can contribute significant heat gain. Radiant barrier applications can help address these high-exposure surfaces.
GARAGES & VEHICLE FACILITIES
Help reduce radiant heat from roofs and, where appropriate, exposed metal walls and doors.
OFFICE & OCCUPIED SPACES
For buildings with offices beneath or adjacent to hot roof areas, reducing radiant heat can improve comfort and potentially reduce cooling demand.
ARENAS & LARGE-SPAN STRUCTURES
Radiant barrier coatings can be used on appropriate large-span roof decking and interior surfaces. The manufacturer documents commercial applications including arenas and ice rinks.
EXISTING BUILDINGS DON’T HAVE TO BE REBUILT
RETROFIT YOUR EXISTING STRUCTURE
One of the biggest advantages of a spray-applied radiant barrier is the ability to treat an existing building.
Depending on the structure, the coating can be applied to accessible interior roof decking, rafters, sidewalls, or appropriate exterior roofing surfaces.
This can provide an alternative to installing traditional foil-type radiant barriers, particularly where installing a separate membrane would be difficult.
NO MAJOR REBUILD REQUIRED
We evaluate the existing structure and determine whether the accessible surfaces are appropriate for application.
