How does it work?
Thermilate is made up of Insulating structures - What are these?
Insulating structures were developed by NASA to combat the high temperatures encountered by the space shuttle on re-entry.
How do they work when mixed in paint?
Conventional insulation products only work by slowing down the rate of heat loss through the actual wall.
However, Thermilate insulating structures work by helping to prevent the heat getting through the wall, by reflecting the heat BACK into the room.
Thermilate gives excellent energy savings, even when used on well insulated walls.
The thermal image shown opposite illustrates heat loss. The areas of most heat loss are coloured white or red, and the least area of heat loss is shown in black.
There are THREE FLATS in the image. The top one has been insulated with Thermilate below the windows, which are shown as the two black sections in the diagram. Once the walls have been coated with Thermilate paints, the heat is reflected BACK inside the room, instead of escaping through the walls.
How Does Thermilate Additive Reduce Condensation?
Thermilate's thermal barrier keeps the cold wall surface and the warmer air apart. As you touch the wall with your hand you can feel the heat being reflected back and the wall will feel warmer to the touch.
Thermilate Additive has the same effect with the warm air from your heating system, reflecting it back into the room instead of the heat being drawn to the colder surface of the wall, and escaping.
