Default Solar reflective paint for polycarbonate roof.

I was looking for some method of reducing the temp in the conservatory and
found this -

It might just be normal wallop (emulsion) with a higher price, I don't
know but it does the trick.
We keep the pooches in there and they were gasping "water, shear me, I
can't breathe".
Temp went down from 41C to about 30C, light level down by around 40%.
Anyway, the pooches gave me a round of apaws.


I used polycarbonate sheet with a perforated metal film in the cavities,
which proved to be very effective in Southern France. As I was replacing
worn out sheet, I bought sheet with the film installed, but you can buy the
strip to slide into existing sheet.
