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 […]

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, […]

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 […]

https://www.bdonline.co.uk/news/arup-report-says-roof-retrofits-could-keep-london-cool-as-summers-warm/5123608.article According to a report by Arup for the Mayor of London, simple adaptations at scale would lower temperatures inside and out, with positive impacts for health and carbon emissions. A city-wide programme to retrofit roofs could keep Londoners cool as temperatures rise due to climate change. ThermaCote keeps the Heat OUT!
