Wyndham City Pound – Thermal Insulation Project Summary
Project Overview
Wyndham City Council faced ongoing issues with excessive internal heat levels at the Wyndham City Pound facility, particularly due to radiant heat penetrating the metal roofing. The Thermoshield team was engaged to provide a fast, cost-effective solution to reduce internal temperatures and improve comfort for both staff and animals.
A Thermoshield ceramic insulation coating was applied to the roof, and temperature measurements were taken both before and after the treatment to assess the results.
Key Benefits Delivered
Drastic Temperature Reduction
- External roof surface temperature dropped from 50°C to 19°C — a 62% reduction.
- Underside roof temperature dropped from 43°C to 16°C — a 54% reduction.
- These reductions were measured on a mild 23°C day, demonstrating the coating's effectiveness even in moderate weather.
Improved Internal Comfort
- Significant cooling of the roof surface reduces radiant heat transfer into the facility.
- Provides relief from heat stress for staff, animals, and visitors.
- Reduces reliance on mechanical cooling systems, lowering energy usage.
Protection Against Thermal Stress
- The ceramic coating helps prevent extreme expansion and contraction in roof materials.
- This reduces long-term wear on fasteners and joints, protecting structural integrity.
Energy Efficiency Support
- Cooler roof surfaces lower the load on HVAC systems.
- Can contribute to reduced electricity bills and extended HVAC equipment life.
Performance Snapshot
Measurement Area | Uncoated Temp | Coated Temp | Reduction |
External Roof | 50°C | 19°C | 62% |
Underside of Roof | 43°C | 16°C | 54% |
These results highlight the exceptional thermal performance of Thermoshield’s insulation coating, even on a mild day — making it an ideal solution for high-exposure environments like animal shelters and council facilities.
Before & After Results
Client Outcome
“We are delighted with the result and hope the coating provides relief from the extreme radiant heat build-up that has been experienced at the pound in recent years.”
– Wyndham City Council
The project achieved measurable thermal reduction, improved comfort, and long-term protection of infrastructure — all without the need for costly replacement or construction.
