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 […]

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, […]

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 […]
