Keep Heat IN !
Effective Heat Reflection:
ThermaCote®'s unique Ceramic Coating Technology reflects radiant heat back into the interior, minimizing heat loss through walls, roofs, and attics. This ensures that the warmth generated by heating systems remains within the building, providing better heat retention.
Reduced Energy Consumption:
By retaining more heat inside the building, ThermaCote® decreases the need for continuous heating. This leads to lower energy consumption, which translates into significant cost savings on utility bills for homeowners and businesses alike.
Longer-Lasting Heating Equipment:
By improving heat retention within the building, heating equipment such as boilers and radiators do not need to operate as frequently or intensely. This decreased usage reduces wear and tear, prolonging the life of the equipment and decreasing the need for repairs or replacements. As a result, homeowners can enjoy lower maintenance costs and greater reliability over time.
Consistent Indoor Temperatures:
ThermaCote® helps maintain a stable and comfortable indoor climate by reducing heat escape. This consistent temperature control enhances occupant comfort during colder months, eliminating cold spots and drafts within the building.
Environmental Benefits:
By enhancing energy efficiency and reducing the need for excessive heating, ThermaCote® contributes to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. Its eco-friendly, low-VOC formulation further supports sustainable building practices, making it a responsible choice for environmentally conscious homeowners and builders.

ThermaCote Thermal Barrier Coating
ThermaCote® is a high-performance thermal barrier coating with superior corrosion protection that can be used indoors and outdoors for both commercial and residential applications. It is made from advanced ceramic technology that reduces the transfer of energy. Once it dries, ThermaCote® looks like latex paint, and it has ultra-low VOCs at 5.3 G/L. It is easy to apply to any new or retrofit construction project and enhances the performance of bat insulation and HVAC ductwork to prevent hot or cool air from escaping a building.
Key Characteristics of ThermaCote®
The qualities that make ThermaCote® a superb product include:
- Breathable vapor barrier
- Reduced condensation
- Low shrinkage due to high volume of solids (12 wet mil thickness = 10 dry mil thickness)
- High solar reflectance
- High emittance
- Low dry fall rate (5–10 feet, depending on temperature and humidity)
- Lightweight (5 pounds/gallon, <2.27 kilos per 3.78 liters)
- Wide range of application (50f– 300f)
- Reduces expansion and contraction
- Max white brightness
Seal The Envelope
ThermaCote® is a technologically-advanced weather coating that seals the envelope of any structure and protects from heat and corrosion.
Smart Energy Savings
ThermaCote® is a high-performance weather barrier for commercial, residential, exterior and interior, and is a perfect primer or topcoat to seal, protect and save energy.
Serious Sustainability
ThermaCote® is friendly to environments with ultra-low VOC’s (volatile organic compounds) in a water-based acrylic formulation.
The Benefits of Applying Thermal Barrier Paint or Coatings
A building’s envelope is the physical barrier and interior environment that enclose a structure. The envelope is made up of a series of systems and components that protect the building’s interior space from the environment. Some of the advantages of using a thermal barrier coating on the envelope of a structure include:
- Efficient planning for your building’s envelope.
- Substantial energy savings, through increased energy efficiency on an existing building by providing extra protection for insulation that has degraded over time. This prevents hot or cool air from escaping the building, leading to less energy usage. This application also takes work off of a buildings HVAC-R unit and extends the life of their product.
- Longevity & protection. ThermaCote® seals substrates which fights corrosion, weatherization, and abrasion. Any porous substrate is able to be sealed, which extends the life of the substrate and protects it from any outside forces.
- Sustainable and green. ThermaCote® is environmentally friendly with ultra-low volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in a water-based acrylic formula.

Application Process
ThermaCote® is a single-stage thermal coating designed for application via a heavy-duty airless sprayer capable of maintaining an output of 2 GPM (8 LPM) with a 3/8” pressure-rated hose. Brushing and rolling is not recommended, but may be used in smaller, hard-to-reach areas. Other equipment includes a mixing paddle, variable speed drill, and safety equipment (goggles, respirator, etc.).
FAQ
ThermaCote® is a high performance Weather Barrier that incorporates ceramic technology to produce a fluid applied material.
The recommended application method is to spray apply ThermaCote® to achieve the most cohesive and even finish.
ThermaCote® acts to improve the energy efficiency and safety in any structure, residential or commercial.
Yes. ThermaCote® can act as your primer coat and will accept any top coat breathable paint colour you choose.
Yes, ThermaCote® is safe for indoor use and it is third-party certified ‘Green’ in the USA to stringent California’s Indoor Air Quality Standards in Classrooms and Offices (DHS 01350). The VOC level of ThermaCote® is ultra low at 5.3 G/L, which is much friendlier to your indoor environment than the majority of paint/coating products on the market today.
ThermaCote® is a great primer as it has built-in corrosion inhibitors and will prolong the life of your structure.
ThermaCote® is available in the UK only through ThermaCoteUK and via our approved applicator network. Contact us at [email protected] and we will assist.
Interior applications will last the life of the structure with no re-application necessary. Exterior applications will typically require a re-application around 10–15 years dependent on climate conditions and proper substrate care (roof washing 1x a year).
There are so many possibilities. Residential structures, concrete slabs, roofs (tile and metal), attics, conservatories, industrial, shipping containers . . . the list goes on.
Steel, wood, concrete, masonry block and brick, asphalt shingles, plastic, glass, canvas, hardy plank, woodcrete, plasterboard, magnesium oxide board etc. ThermaCote® will basically apply to almost any clean and dry surface.
Coverage rate is 1.3m2 / L (@0.5mm)
ThermaCote® once applied to a structure is not recyclable but it will last the life of the structure when installed on the interior.
No, ThermaCote® is made with no hazardous ingredients and it is not harmful to the environment during manufacture or application.
Yes, this is an excellent product for both interior and exterior applications, offering you numerous application options.
Certification is a multi-step process. We will need you to hold a city and guilds spraying qualification (these are available and can be CITB funded). A second stage is a course with us at ThermaCoteUK (which is free) where we take you through a range of requirements, explain the sales and leads process as well as how the guarantee works and all the documentation that is required. There will be two strains of this second course as the sales and lead process will not be needed by everyone. Pease note, each individual will need to hold the city and guilds qualification not just one person from a company as we need to maintain the reputation and credibility of the product and those applying it. We want happy customers! We can put you in touch with a firm who can do the spray training and we will be running the second stage courses at least twice per month online and once per month at the NSBRC site at Swindon. Please contact us at [email protected]to learn more about the approved applicator process.
It is recommended that you clean all exterior applications as needed and interior applications can be cleaned as needed with a wet sponge.
The finished dried product look is like a flat matt paint. It can easily be the top coat if desired.
We offer a warranty of 10 years externally and lifetime internally. This is only if applied by an approved contractor in line with guidelines. Guarantees are signed off by ThermaCote® Europe.
Yes, ThermaCote® contains in its formulation rust inhibitors that can stop the degradation of the support.
However, it will be necessary to brush and clean the metal beforehand in order to get rid of impurities as much as possible. We would recommend and can apply a suitable primer of a ‘stop-rust’ product.
