Bangkok – “SCG” has received the “High-Efficiency Energy Label” from the Department of Alternative Energy Development and Efficiency, Ministry of Energy, awarded to high-performance products that help reduce costs and save energy for the nation. SCG is the manufacturer with the most certified roofing products, totaling 16 models across three main materials.

          It is the first manufacturer of thermal insulation made from fiberglass to receive this label, reinforcing its leadership in construction material innovation aimed at developing environmentally friendly and energy-saving products. SCG is preparing to raise consumer awareness about the importance of choosing energy-saving materials continuously. This year, the overall roofing market in Thailand is expected to stabilize at a value of 10 billion baht, while the thermal insulation market is projected to remain at 1 billion baht, with energy-saving construction materials expected to continue growing.


          Mr. Boonsong Pitisukrerk, Director of Roofing and Roofing Equipment Marketing at SCG Cement-Building Materials Co., Ltd. stated that in line with SCG's vision, the company is committed to developing innovative products and services that meet diverse customer needs and market trends while considering environmental and social impacts. Given the global energy crisis and the increasing energy consumption trends in Thailand, SCG, as a market leader in roofing, recognizes the importance of developing energy-efficient and environmentally friendly roofs. The company has joined the project promoting high-efficiency machinery, equipment, and materials for energy conservation, or the “High-Efficiency Energy Label,” which will feature the label from the Department of Alternative Energy Development and Efficiency on its products. This initiative is part of the business sector's efforts to reduce energy consumption in the country and encourage consumers to choose energy-saving roofs, promoting manufacturers in the market to prioritize producing high-potential energy-saving products.
          Recently, SCG roofing has received the highest number of High-Efficiency Energy Labels from the Department of Alternative Energy Development and Efficiency, totaling 16 models, covering three popular materials used in roofing production in Thailand, including fiber cement roofs such as the double wave model in jasmine white, double wave model in pearl orange, prima model in orange weave, Aira classic 13-inch in Coral Grey, Aira classic 13-inch in Coral Grey (glossy), concrete roofs like Prestige in Classic Grey, Prestige X-Shield in Ivory Grey, CPAC in golden sparkle, CPAC in silver sparkle, NeuStile Oriental in White, and ceramic roofs like Excella Classic in White Pearl, Excella Classic in Yellow Sapphire, Excella Modern in White Matt, Excella Classic Thai fish scale in yellow Kanya, Excella Classic Thai fish scale in white sparkling sky, and Celica in Pearly Grey.All roofs that meet the criteria must have a Solar Radiation Reflectance value of 45% or higher (according to ASTM E903 testing standards), which means SCG roofs with the label can reflect heat better than standard roofs, significantly reducing air conditioning costs.


          “SCG prioritizes the Voice of Consumer (VOC), which is the heart of product and service development to meet customer needs and market trends. SCG roofing has maintained market leadership for over 70 years in terms of innovation, material variety, design, quality, and comprehensive service. Receiving this label enhances our competitive capabilities in the market, elevates roofing production standards, and aligns with our vision of sustainable business operations that always consider energy savings and environmental friendliness. Overall, the roofing market this year is expected to stabilize at around 10 billion baht,”


          On the other hand, Mr. Salil Kantanurimitkul, Marketing Manager at Siam Fiberglass Co., Ltd. in the SCG Cement-Building Materials group, revealed that SCG thermal insulation has consistently led the fiberglass thermal insulation market and won consumer trust with its strength in developing products under the “Green Product from Green Process” approach, emphasizing the development of the production process at every stage, from raw material selection to strict quality control and environmental friendliness, as well as developing product forms and insulation designs that consider appropriate sizes and thicknesses for their intended use, along with providing installation services and consulting, offering customers a One Stop Service. Importantly, it has pushed product quality to receive environmental and energy standards certifications, including the Green Label, Carbon Footprint Label, and being the fiberglass thermal insulation manufacturer that has received the “High-Efficiency Energy Label” since 2008 and continues to this day.


          To qualify for the high-efficiency label, fiberglass thermal insulation must have a thermal resistance (R-Value) of 1.25 M2.K/W or higher. The SCG fiberglass thermal insulation that has received the label includes five groups: roofing insulation such as SCG models FSO, CRB, Super Cool, UB, UBB, and Ultra Kool; wall insulation such as SCG Cool Wall; ceiling insulation such as SCG Stay Cool; and air conditioning system insulation such as SCG FRK and FRKF. Installing SCG Stay Cool insulation with the label can reduce heat in residential homes by approximately 3-5 degrees Celsius and save 47-50% on air conditioning electricity costs.


          “Receiving this label reinforces our positioning in developing products that care for the environment and society, as well as building consumer confidence in our brand and products. The High-Efficiency Energy Label will be another tool for consumers when purchasing products, assuring them that it will help reduce energy costs and save money, while also contributing to reducing the country's energy consumption,” Mr. Salil concluded. The overall thermal insulation market this year is expected to stabilize with a total market value of over 1 billion baht, in line with economic conditions.
