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 […]

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 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, […]

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: […]

ThermaCote is important to providers of student accommodation primarily due to its energy efficiency and cost-saving benefits. Here’s why: Energy Efficiency: ThermaCote is a thermal barrier coating that helps to regulate indoor temperatures by reflecting heat. This means that during hot weather, it can reduce the amount of heat entering the building, and during cold […]
