NOVERA Reflex
NOVERA Reflex
Next-generation thermoreflective intelligent membrane
Thin as air. Strong as a shield. White as light that refuses to fade.
NOVERA Reflex is the most technologically advanced microsphere membrane for roofs, engineered to actively work with heat flow — not merely rely on optical reflectivity.
It is an active building technology developed on the basis of over 40 years of scientific research by Ing. Alojzy Thiel, tested by TÜV, Fraunhofer, TECNALIA, and CTU, and verified in extreme climatic conditions across Europe and the GCC region.
NOVERA Reflex is like white velvet that calms overheated urban rooftops.
Within a single ultra-thin layer just one millimeter thick lies science, physics, and a microscopic architecture of light reflection — a technology originally developed in the defense and aerospace sectors.
Each microsphere acts as a tiny mirror — thousands of micro-beads that do not absorb heat, but return it back toward the sky.
It reflects up to 88% of solar energy, and thanks to an emissivity of 0.86, it can rapidly radiate residual heat back into the atmosphere.
The Result:
Roof surface temperature reduced by 27–40°C
Interior temperature reduced by up to 10–18°C
Heat transfer into the structure reduced by 45–60% (CTU)
Cities that can breathe again, with ambient temperatures reduced by 4–6°C
NOVERA Reflex is not a coating.
It is an active climate shield — extremely flexible, waterproof, UV-resistant, resistant to weathering, salt mist, standing water, and vibration.
With an SRI value of 107, it belongs to the technological elite of reflective systems.

TECHNOLOGY
WHAT IS NOVERA REFLEX
NOVERA Reflex is a single-layer microspherical membrane based on:
hollow ceramic & glass microspheres
IR-modifying polymers
elastic waterproofing binder
photocatalytic TiO₂
a structural matrix resistant to thermal shock
How it works – physically
Reflection:
Microspheres reflect the infrared spectrum (50–60% of heat) in all directions.
Emission:
An emissivity of 0.86 enables rapid re-radiation of absorbed heat.
Insulation:
Hollow microspheres limit heat conduction
(micro-insulation effect).
Stabilization:
The technology reduces thermal gradients throughout the roof structure
→ less expansion → fewer cracks → longer lifespan.
The membrane is:
waterproof, seamless, extremely elastic (300%), UV-resistant (1000+ h), and stable even when contaminated – performance does not degrade

KEY TECHNICAL PARAMETERS
ECOLOGY & SELF-CLEANING
NOVERA Reflex contains TiO2, which:
- activates photocatalysis
- breaks down organic contaminants
- prevents the growth of mold, algae, and microorganisms
- creates a self-cleaning effect in urban environments
Ecological profile
- 0% VOC
- solvent-free
- non-toxic – suitable even for the food industry
- fully compatible with: LEED, BREEAM, DGNB, ESG
- reduces CO2 emissions by 8–15 t / 1000 m² / year
SUITABLE FOR PHOTOVOLTAICS
NOVERA Reflex is the optimal membrane for roofs with PV systems:
Measured results
- panel temperature reduced by 20–40 °C
-
increased performance:
- +20–30% monofacial panels
- +60% bifacial panels
Why?
PV panels lose approximately 0.45% of output per °C.
NOVERA dramatically reduces their operating temperature, resulting in a significant increase in efficiency.
- fewer microcracks
- slower aging
- more stable voltage profiles
- higher annual yield (kWh)
IMPACT ON COMFORT & ENERGY
- Indoor temperature reduced by 4–18 °C
- Cooling energy savings of 25–40%
- Up to 50% reduction of A/C peak loads
- Global impact on urban temperature: −4 to −6 °C
- Immediate thermal effect after application
LIMITATIONS OF USE
- Not suitable for:
- roofs with intensive pedestrian traffic
- surfaces without protection against movement
- swimming pools, tanks, and permanently submerged areas
- greasy, wet, or non-cohesive surfaces
- application during imminent rainfall (within 3 hours)
STORAGE
- dry environment
- +5 °C to +30 °C
- original packaging
- shelf life: 10 years
