COOL ROOFS

A more efficient warehouse in the face of Seville’s extreme heat.

With summer temperatures frequently exceeding 40°C, Seville is one of the hottest cities in Spain. In industrial buildings and warehouses where air-conditioning systems are often lacking, heat places even greater demands on those who work in these spaces on a daily basis.

It was against this backdrop that Pinturas GyM, a client of CIN Valentine, opted for the Imperflex Roofings solution for its warehouse in Seville. Developed for waterproofing and protecting roofs, it also helps to reduce heat absorption when applied in white.

The application was carried out directly onto the roof of the industrial building in early September 2025 by the company itself, specialised in painting projects.

A visible temperature difference

The results were immediate and easily measurable. It was possible to compare the temperature of the treated surface with that of an untreated area of the roof, both measured on the same day at around 1.00 pm:

  • Area treated with Imperflex Roofings: 29.8ºC

  • Untreated area: 50.8ºC

A difference of more than 20°C on the roof surface, demonstrating the solution’s ability to significantly reduce heat absorption.

 

Greater comfort for staff

As well as improving the thermal conditions inside the warehouse, the project helped to reduce the need for additional ventilation and cooling equipment, creating a more comfortable and energy-efficient working environment.

According to Gustavo Luis Pineda, a painter at Pinturas GyM:

‘When people see the end result, they’re surprised because, as well as the visual freshness, they immediately realise the practical benefits. A lot of people say: “I had no idea that paint could make such a difference to the indoor temperature.’

For Antonio Joaquín González, owner of Pinturas GyM, it is a simple solution with a major impact:

‘As a painting professional, I can confirm that it is a simple solution to implement, requires no major work and makes a huge difference in day-to-day life, especially in very hot places like Seville, where temperatures can reach 47 degrees in summer.’

José Antonio Montesino also highlights the sustainable aspect of this type of project:

‘It is great to know that our work helps improve people’s well-being while reducing energy consumption. The paint we apply goes far beyond aesthetics: it is also a solution for the future.’
