Big Island Icon, New Coastal Finish – NXT Cool Coat at Fairmont Orchid
Location: Fairmont Orchid Resort, Hawai‘i Island (Big Island), HI
Scope: Multi-building resort roofs (oceanfront)
System: NuTech Primer + 2x NXT Cool Coat (custom colour match)
Completed: December 2024
Approved Partners: Cool Roof Store; Leak Master Roofing
Setting
On the Kohala Coast of Hawai‘i Island, the Fairmont Orchid’s oceanfront buildings face intense sun, salt air, and year-round guest traffic. Any finish must look immaculate and perform well under harsh coastal conditions.
The brief
Deliver a high-performance cool roof system in a custom colour that harmonises with the resort’s architecture and landscape, while enabling efficient application and minimal downtime.
System used
- Primer: NuTech Primer for strong adhesion and an even base.
- Topcoat: Two coats of NXT Cool Coat, a water-based, heat-reflective roof coating engineered for durable colour, weather resistance, and long-term appearance retention.
Application & partners
Work was completed in December 2024 by Nutech-approved applicators and suppliers: Cool Roof Store and Leak Master Roofing. Their coordination across multiple roof sections ensured clean cut-ins, consistent film build, and a smooth, uniform finish.
Result
A fresh, cohesive coastal tone that elevates curb appeal from every vantage, pool deck to shoreline, while delivering the reflective performance today’s hospitality properties expect.
