See us present and meet with us on the 9th November at the NSBRC
We are presenting at the NSBRC in Swindon on the 9th November at their Retrofit Event. Come and meet us, we are available with bookable slots all day to explain more about how ThermaCote can assist you as well as answer any questions you may have. We look forward to seeing you.
How ThermaCote Supports UK Social Housing Reforms: Sustainable Solutions for Energy Efficiency
The UK’s recent social housing reforms mark a significant shift towards more stringent energy efficiency and sustainability standards in social housing. With an emphasis on improving living conditions, reducing environmental impact, and addressing fuel poverty, housing providers face new challenges. These reforms are especially focused on enhancing the energy performance of older buildings, many of […]
Insulation upgrades worth up to £30k
Government Scheme for Insulation Upgrades As part of the budget announcement households under the Warm Homes Scheme will be able to access funding to upgrade the insulation on their homes. ThermaCote is a excellent option for selection as it brings all the benefits without loss of space and time consuming installation process.
Too good to be true for a 1mm application?
The U-value of ThermaCote is often commented upon as “too good to be true for a 1mm application”, but when you understand how the product works and the advanced technology behind it you will see it is absolutely true! . Here’s why: Innovative Use of Reflective Technology ThermaCote doesn’t rely solely on traditional insulation methods […]
99% thinner than traditional insulation!
Let’s compare ThermaCote applied at a thickness of 1 mm to a traditional insulation material that is typically 100 mm (10 cm) thick, which is a common thickness for fibreglass, foam panels, or other conventional insulation in walls. To calculate how much thinner ThermaCote is, we can use the formula: So, a 1 mm layer […]
1mm of ThermaCote avoids the bulk of traditional insulation.
ThermaCote is significantly thinner than traditional insulation products because it leverages advanced technology to provide thermal protection without the bulk. A good way to understand this is by comparing it to how ski clothing has evolved since the 1980s. Back in the ’80s, ski jackets and trousers were thick, bulky, and filled with heavy layers […]
Using ThermaCote to insulate your home is like wrapping it in an emergency foil blanket.
Using ThermaCote to insulate your home is like wrapping it in an emergency foil blanket to keep heat in because they both function in a similar way when it comes to heat retention: 1. Reflecting Heat Back: Just like an emergency foil blanket reflects your body heat back toward you to prevent warmth from escaping, […]
Limited budget – Consider a warm room
If you have a limited budget and can’t consider applying ThermaCote everywhere initially inside your property, consider creating one particularly warm room using ThermaCote by strategically applying the product to maximize its insulating and heat-reflective properties. Here’s a step-by-step guide to achieve this: 1. Choose the Room: Determine which room you want to be your […]
Why should architects look at recommending ThermaCote?
Architects should consider recommending ThermaCote for several compelling reasons: Energy Efficiency: ThermaCote’s thermal barrier properties help improve a building’s energy efficiency by reflecting heat away in the summer and retaining heat during the winter. This can lead to significant reductions in heating and cooling costs, aligning with the increasing emphasis on energy-efficient building design. Sustainability: […]
