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 […]
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, […]
