## [problem] The problem
- [eyebrow] Why act
- [title] Under a scorching roof,
- [muted-title] your animals produce less.
- [intro] Heat stress lowers production, harms animal welfare and weakens crops stored under highly exposed roofs.
- [card-1-title] Production drops
- [card-1-desc] Heat stress reduces milk and egg output and slows growth during periods of intense heat.
- [card-1-alt] Cattle on a farm suffering from summer heat
- [card-2-title] Animals suffer
- [card-2-desc] In cattle, stress begins at just 22°C: fertility, health and mortality become critical issues.
- [card-2-alt] Animals in a cooled agricultural building
- [card-3-title] Harvests deteriorate
- [card-3-desc] Grain, fodder and feed stored under an overheated roof lose quality and store less well.
- [card-3-alt] Agricultural shed for fodder storage
- [card-4-title] Aging roofs
- [card-4-desc] Rusted steel deck or old fiber cement, sometimes containing asbestos: full removal quickly becomes costly.
- [card-4-alt] Old agricultural roof protected by a cool roof

## [solution] The solution
- [eyebrow] The Covalba solution
- [title] Your roof reflects
- [muted-title] the sun instead of absorbing it.
- [intro] The Covalba reflective coating reflects up to 90% of solar radiation. The roof no longer heats up, and the environment inside the building drops by 8 to 10°C.

## [durability] Durability
- [title] The Covalba system
- [muted-title] lasts longer on your buildings.
- [intro] A coating that quickly loses its reflectivity becomes a recurring maintenance burden. Covalba systems are designed to last several summers.
- [note] Polyurethane systems with a protective topcoat are designed to maintain their performance for 8 to 10 years while protecting the roof.
- [covalba-label] Performance designed for farm operations

## [benefits] Benefits

## [faq] Frequently asked questions
- [intro] The points that come up most often among livestock farmers and farm managers.
- [q1-question] Does a cool roof really improve my animals' production?
- [q1-answer] Yes, indirectly but significantly. By lowering the temperature under the roof, it reduces heat stress, the main cause of production drops during intense heat.
- [q2-question] Is the coating suitable for the large roofs of my livestock buildings?
- [q2-answer] Yes. The cool roof coating is designed for large agricultural roof surfaces and applies equally well to cattle housing, poultry houses, pig buildings and storage sheds.
- [q3-question] My roof is made of fiber cement, possibly with asbestos. What should I do?
- [q3-answer] The cool roof often makes it possible to protect and cool the roof without removal. Application on asbestos-containing fiber cement must be defined with your contractor during the technical assessment.
- [q4-question] Does it hold up on the steel deck of my buildings?
- [q4-answer] Yes. CovaMetal 20 protects the metal from corrosion while making it reflective, ideal for agricultural steel roofs and cladding.
- [q5-question] Does the installation disturb my animals?
- [q5-answer] No. Your contractor works entirely from the outside, with no machine lifted onto the roof. The work is organized so as not to disrupt the livestock.
- [q6-question] And in winter, will my buildings be colder?
- [q6-answer] The effect is minimal. The winter sun is low and rarely present. The summer gain largely offsets this slight loss during the cooler months.

- [title] Cool roof for agricultural buildings: protect livestock, harvests and the roof
- [intro] On a farm, summer heat directly affects production, animal health and harvest preservation.
- [section-1-title] Why an agricultural building overheats in summer
- [section-1-body] Large steel deck or fiber cement roofs rise to very high temperatures and radiate toward the animals or stored harvests.
- [section-2-title] Heat stress: production and welfare
- [section-2-body] In cattle, poultry and pigs, heat degrades production, fertility, growth and health. The cool roof reduces this thermal load at the source.
- [section-3-title] The cool roof for your type of building
- [section-3-body] Cattle housing, poultry houses, pig buildings, storage sheds and cooperatives all benefit from a roof that absorbs less solar radiation.
- [section-4-title] Agricultural steel deck and fiber cement
- [section-4-body] On steel deck, CovaMetal 20 addresses both heat and corrosion. On old fiber cement, the coating protects and cools without systematic removal.
- [section-5-title] Protection that lasts
- [section-5-body] Covalba polyurethane systems with a protective topcoat are designed to last 8 to 10 years and preserve the roof.
