As this information was highly sought after during our event at Futurebuild 2025 at the Excel London we are posting it up here for reference. The informatin below shows the performance of ThermaCote and the standards it was tested against. These are genuine facts! Thermal conductivity of ThermaCote: Lambda λ = 0.0345 W/mK according to […]

PIR boards, typically have thermal conductivities ranging from 0.022 W/m·K to 0.026 W/m·K, depending on factors such as facings and manufacturing processes. Impact on Required Thickness The required thickness to achieve a specific R-value depends on the thermal conductivity (λ) of the insulation material. Using the formula: Thickness=R×λ Applying this: For λ = 0.022 W/m·K: […]

ThermaCote undertook a year-long study carried out in Europe by CRES (Center for Renewable Energy Sources and Saving) in line with the standard ISO 9869. We have need to manage access to this report so can’t make it generally available. If you would like to have access, please message us at [email protected] and we will […]

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 […]
