Colour Choice

How important is colour choice for your external facade ? 

In the heart of the scorching Australian summers, every degree matters regarding your home’s internal temperature. An intriguing factor influencing this temperature is the colour of your house’s exterior.

Darker colours absorb more heat and may lead to higher interior temperatures, Conversely, lighter colours reflect more heat and help maintain a cooler indoor environment, especially in regions with hot summers.

Absorbed heat can penetrate the house’s interior, potentially elevating the overall temperature. 

Wall colour’s impact on house temperature in Australia is intricately linked to the insulation and building materials present in a property. Insulation reduces heat transfer through walls, ceilings, and floors. Well-insulated homes with insulated siding can help maintain a stable indoor temperature.

In the Australian climate, where heat can be intense, choosing light-coloured wall surface can contribute to better heat management within your home. By reflecting more sunlight, these colours assist in keeping surfaces cooler, which can ultimately help maintain a more comfortable indoor temperature.

In warmer regions like Queensland, opting for lighter wall colours can help reflect sunlight and prevent heat build-up, thus keeping interiors cooler. Conversely, darker hues can absorb more sunlight in cooler areas such as Tasmania, warming the house.
