Decrease the energy consumption on your building
PaveConvection is a new eco-friendly method of cooling roofs in the summer heat, using nature’s own energy.
When the sun shines during the summer, a flat roof in Scandinavia can get up to 35-40 °Celsius in the sun. In Mediterranean countries and in the Middle East the temperature on a flat roof can easily get up to 75 °Celsius in the sun. Consequently, a lot of energy is used to cool down roofs and buildings.
The high energy cost can be reduced by using PaveConvection which also saves you money.
With PaveConvection, it is the rays from the sun that deliver the energy for cooling. When the system is installed it is virtually maintenance-free for the remainder of the life of the roof.
The system does not demand power or additional energy to function. This makes the building more eco-friendly. Thus, PaveConvection gives the building a greener profile and reduces energy consumption.
Shown here is a flat roof terrace with tiles.
Without PaveConvection, the wall crown prevents cooler air from entering. This circulates the warm air between the roof and tiles, keeping the temperature level with the air just above the tiles.
The holes in the crown of the wall allow cool air to enter under the roof terrace and ventilate the roof.
The warm tiles “absorb” the cold air and release it again when the air warms up. This creates a ventilation system of circular cooling under the tiles.
This uses nature’s energy to lower the temperature under the tiles to the same temperature as in the shade.

Estimated energy consumption with PaveConvection. Using the sun’s energy, the air is replaced and the temperature on the roof is lowered.
Paveconvection is sold as a solution in conjunction with our PavePad series, which is a solution of smart tile feet for patios and paving. Read more about PavePad here.
