In most of the urban cities, during hot summer, the water stored in roof tanks turns so hot that it is hard to touch. During summer, temperature in many cities reaches around 48oC in most of the cities of Pakistan. During a sunny day, when maximum outside temperature reaches to 48oC the minimum temperature inside the plastic tank reaches to 48oC at that time. Even with a five layered white tank, the inside temperature of the water reaches around 46 degrees.
SmartShield (Water Tank Jacket)
Smart Materials Solutions has designed Smartshield water tank jacket using high quality imported materials and patented process. The jacket helps to keep the water cold in summer and hot in winter and reduces the cost of energy required to get the cold water in summer and hot water in winter. The jacket also increases the life of water tank by protecting it from UV radiations and other environmental conditions. Our smartshield jacket has been proven to reflect 97% of the sun’s heat radiation, effectively preserving water temperature during extreme summer. One inch thick EPS insulation sandwiched between 2 water proof fabric layers helps to stop conduction heat transfer making it most efficient jacket available in the market.

Water Tank Thermal Cover
Water Tank Thermal Cover is an economical solution with acceptable performance. Thermal Cover is manufactured using Polyethylene foam on back side and aluminum foil on front side. This thermal cover also helps to increase the life of water tank by protecting it from UV radiations. Due to aluminum foil on front side, this cover reflects 97% of the sun’s heat radiations effectively and suitable for moderately hot regions.
Salient Features
Unbeatable price
Universal design with guaranteed size fitting for every capacity
8oC – 9oC temperature control in moderately hot regions
97% radiations reflectivity
Increase the life of tank by protecting it from UV rays
Can be installed within minutes
Provided with belts for fixing
Available in 7 different sizes from 400L to 2000L
Can be customized for any other size.
Note:
It is very important to understand that heat coming from the sun has two parts; radiation heat and conduction heat. Reflective aluminum foil can only control radiation heat which is 30 to 40% of the total heat. To stop the heat flow through conduction, insulation material with reasonable thickness is must. Without adding any insulation material, water tanks cannot be completely insulated for best results
Warning:
99% people selling thermal cover online on Daraz and other online websites are using pictures from our website or our facebook page and claiming 1 inch thick jacket. Actually, they are selling just 4mm thick thermal cover at much higher prices than us. In many cases, the cover size does not fit on the tank and customer has to purchase another jacket or extra material to cover the complete tank. We are selling same cover at much lower price. As we already mentioned that the thermal cover sold by us and all other sellers will only work in moderately hot region. In extremely hot region, you need to have thick jacket like our SmartShield jacket. If any company in the market is selling minimum 1 inch thick jacket with complete weather protection, then you can purchase that jacket as it will work much better than simple thermal cover.
SmartShield for Cemented Tank
Customized Jacket for every cemented Tank
Cemented Tanks are constructed double walled and in many cases, they are constructed single walled. Even double cemented tanks without insulation cannot maintain water temperature in hot summer and cold winter and water does not remain in useable condition in these tanks as well. Smart Materials Solutions provides customized jackets for cemented tanks as per size of the tank. Company also provides jacket installation service in Lahore for cemented tanks.
The Price of 1 inch thick jacket for cemented tank with installation is 140 PKR/Sq ft.
Pipe Insulation
The Most Efficient Solution for Extreme weather conditions
Whether its PPRC (plastic pipe) or GI (Metal pipe), when they are exposed on the roof top in direct sunlight gets very hot and water flowing through these pipes can’t be used. Similarly, in winter, water gets too cold to be used without heating. This increases the heating cost of water and thus increases the overall gas bills. In many areas of Pakistan, gas is not readily available in winter and electric heating of water is done which is even more expensive.
To keep the water at normal temperature both in summer and winter and to reduce energy cost of water cooling in summer and water heating in winter, pipe insulation is an effective solution. Pipe insulation and tank insulation (Source Tank) helps to reduce the cooling load on both chiller plants and RO plants and increases the life of compressor as well due decrease in running time of the compressor.
There are many insulations which can be used to insulate pipes. However, depending upon the efficiency, cost and life of insulation, Smart Materials Solutions use following 2 types of insulation for pipes. The properties and application of both types of insulation materials is summarized in the table.
