thermalate insulating paint

Martron

anyone heard of this stuff? is it any good? i find it hard to beleive that paint would have massive insulating properties.

Think there was a thread on here about that recently, with the general consensus being, if it sounds too good to be true then it probably is.

Can't see how a thin layer of paint could that much provide insulation anyway

in order to comment on stuff people should use it first. I used one made by thermilate and most certainly did the business for me. dont know about any other brands though.

I found this thread when checking to see if wesleygeorge only posts spam about insulating paint, and of course I was right.

Aerogel is the worlds most effective insulating material, it uses nanoparticle spheres with a vacuum inside each sphere to give its low conductivity.

Aerogel is still only 3 times better than insulated plasterboard of the same thickness, so you need 9mm aerogel thickness to give the same effect as a standard 37mm insulated plasterboard, the standard size for drylining.

Ok now try to convince me that a paint with a few nanoparticles suspended in it, and a few microns thick, will keep your house warm?

My ar*e.

Are you some sort of vigilante?

No, I just have a healthy dislike of spammers and con artists
