\"Cool<\/p>\n

Summers in India last for a long time, and while the humidity conditions may vary from region to region, the heat remains constant. The heat reaches its peak in the summer, which is why it is necessary to make houses and commercial spaces ready for the summer. One method that has been used for a long time throughout India is modifying the terrace and home surfaces to make them resistant to heat to a certain extent and to make them cooler. For instance, terrace tiles<\/a>, mud roof tiles<\/a>, cow dung floors, layers of limestone, etc. are all such methods that have been employed to keep the terrace and floors cool.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

While the methods mentioned above have been used for many years, it is now time to move on with technology and choose new methods that are easy to install, use, and maintain. Orientbell Tiles Cool Tiles are one such method that can help you beat the heat effectively.<\/span><\/p>\n

What are Orientbell Cool Tiles?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Orientbell Tiles manufactures Cool Tiles<\/a> that can help you tackle the heat and bring down the temperature of your space, whether commercial or residential. These tiles are designed in such a way that they absorb less heat and reflect most of the sunlight, making them perfect for roofs and terraces in hot summers. As these tiles are meant to be used outdoors, they come with a matte-finished surface, which reduces the chance of slipping when used in balconies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Orientbell Tiles Cool tiles are suitable for dry as well as humid heat and can prove to be highly beneficial for regions with extreme temperatures. Made with ceramic material, these tiles\u00a0 are durable and robust, meaning they will be with you for a long time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Science Behind the Cool Tile<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Solar Reflective Index: <\/b>Orientbell Tiles\u2019 Cool Tiles are designed to have a high SRI or Solar Reflective Index. Solar Reflective Index denotes the amount of sunlight that the tiles can reflect, thus reducing the heat they absorb.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. High Thermal Emittance: <\/b>Cool Tiles offer<\/span> high thermal emittance, which means they push the heat away from their surface. This allows the base of the tiles to maintain a cooler temperature as compared to the surface, which in turn helps to keep the insides of the residential or commercial space cooler.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Low Water Absorption Rate:<\/b> Water absorption is the amount of water or moisture a particular material absorbs. Tiles are given different ratings based on their level of absorption of water. The denser the tile, the less water it will absorb. Orientbell Cool tiles have low porosity and can protect your house from seepage and other similar problems.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Why Low Water Absorption is important in Cool Tiles?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    Terraces and ceilings often have concrete flooring, which is porous in nature. The water that seeps in through concrete can cause damage to the building. In such cases, tiles that have a low water absorption rate work better as they prevent the building from getting corroded by the water leakage.<\/span><\/p>\n
