Stay cool this summer: how paint can help you beat the heat!

Summer in South Africa is a time for sunny days and outdoor adventures, but the heat can also be relentless especially when it comes to keeping your home cool and comfortable. Did you know that the right paint choices can make a big difference? With Prominent Paints’ innovative solutions and a palette of refreshing colours, you can tackle the summer heat head-on while enhancing your space.

1. Harness the power of reflective paint technology

Prominent Paints’ Neuklad Cool Roof is designed specifically for the South African summer. This advanced reflective paint:

  • Reduces surface temperatures by reflecting sunlight away from your roof, keeping your home cooler.
  • Lowers cooling costs by easing the burden on air conditioning systems.
  • Protects your roof by reducing thermal stress and preventing wear and tear.


Using Neuklad Cool Roof is a smart, sustainable way to beat the heat and save on energy bills.

2. Cool-toned colours for a refreshing Interior

Light and cool-toned paint colours not only create a serene atmosphere but also reflect heat, making your space feel cooler.
Some perfect summer options include:

Monte Carlo:
Mimic the tranquillity of open skies with a relaxing and airy shade.
Aloe: Add a splash of nature-inspired calm to any room.
White cloud: A versatile choice that enhances natural light and keeps rooms bright and cool.

3. Brighten exteriors with heat-deflecting shades

Your exterior walls also play a role in beating the summer heat.
Here’s why lighter shades are the way to go:

  • They reflect more sunlight, preventing heat absorption.
  • They give your home a modern, clean, and inviting look.
  • Consider soft greys, ivory tones, or pastel shades for a heat-friendly makeover.
4. Choose the right paint for longevity

South Africa’s intense summer sun can be harsh on surfaces. Prominent Paints offers durable, UV-resistant options that maintain their brilliance even in extreme conditions. Pair these with a heat-reflective roof coating to maximize comfort and protection.
