Light Reflectance Value (LRV)

The Light Reflectance Value (LRV) measures the amount of light reflected from a finished surface, measured on a scale for coatings being white approx. 92% and black being approx. 4%.

Exterior Light Reflectance Values (LRV) are used to assess the amount of heat absorbed when the building exterior is exposed to direct sunlight. Dark colours absorb significantly more heat than lighter colours, resulting in more thermal stress on the substrate. In evaluating the effect of the colours LRV, the sunlight exposure, substrate and building elements need to be taken into consideration with your colour consultant.

The Light Reflectance Value is stated for each colour in the StoColor charts. The minimum Light Reflectance Value for each Sto Render Facade System can be found below.
