Somany’s TempShield Technology: The Smart Tile Solution to Beat the Heat

Somany’s TempShield Technology: The Smart Tile Solution to Beat the Heat

June 17, 2025

In an era where architectural elegance meets environmental consciousness, the demand for building materials that offer both aesthetic appeal and functional benefits has never been higher. TempShield Technology by Somany Ceramics is a groundbreaking innovation in the realm of tiles that redefines how we approach heat management in our living spaces.

TempShield Technology patent applied is a testament to Somany Ceramics' commitment to innovation and sustainability. These specially engineered tiles are designed to reflect up to 75% of solar radiation, significantly reducing heat absorption. This high reflectance not only lowers the surface temperature of the tile but also contributes to a cooler indoor environment, thereby reducing the reliance on air conditioning and promoting energy efficiency. This is further enhanced by the tile’s high thermal emittance of 90%, ensuring it efficiently dissipates absorbed heat back into the air. This prevents heat buildup and contributes to a naturally cooler environment.

The technology is particularly effective in combating the Urban Heat Island Effect—a phenomenon where urban areas experience higher temperatures. By incorporating TempShield tiles into building terraces and rooftops, especially on sun-facing facades, structures can maintain a more ambient and comfortable internal temperature as the Temp Shield tiles reduce surface temperature by 15 degrees Celsius and room temperature by 5 degrees Celsius.

Among the TempShield collection, the Temp Shield Bianco stands out for its pristine white hue and minimalist design. Measuring 300x300mm with a thickness of 10mm, this tile not only offers superior heat-reflective properties but also adds a touch of elegance. With its plain texture and vitrified structure, this tile guarantees resilience, perfect for areas exposed to direct sunlight, like rooftops, terraces, balconies, and courtyards.

TempShield tiles are not limited to residential use; their applications extend to commercial and public spaces as well. Whether it's a corporate building aiming for LEED certification or a public park seeking sustainable materials, TempShield tiles offer a versatile solution. Their durability ensures longevity, while their heat-reflective properties contribute to energy savings and enhanced comfort.

Their resistance to stains and weathering further adds to their appeal, ensuring that they retain their appearance and functionality over time.

As we reimagine the spaces we live in, innovations like TempShield represent a quiet yet meaningful step toward building environments that are not only visually refined but also environmentally responsive—an ethos Somany Ceramics continues to uphold through considered design and material intelligence.
