Description
TERMOIMPER Thermal Insulation, an elastomeric coating of emulsified acrylic resins, special pigments and borosilicates, which provide control and reflection of solar ultraviolet rays, developed for the aeronautical and nuclear industry.
THE BEST THERMAL INSULANT, proven for its good thermal properties, has been introduced in civil works to improve insulation against heat and cold.
SPACE PAINT developed for the aeronautical and nuclear industry, contains microfibre, borosilicate particles and the best microspheres on the market (manufactured by 3M) very effective. Termoimper withstands exposure to the worst conditions of sunlight and humidity.
BLANCO ÓPTICO is manufactured in optical white, to improve the reflection of ultraviolet radiation, and is highly effective against mould and mildew.
EASY APPLICATION can be applied by brush, roller or spray, once dry it has a very uniform satin finish. Product manufactured in Spain.
I had already used this paint for the exterior walls and ceiling of the living room and although I was a bit sceptical about the result, we really noticed a higher thermal comfort, especially in winter. The walls where we applied it are not so cold.
Now I have bought it again to paint the kitchen ceiling. It is not a finishing paint, you have to apply 2 or 3 coats and then apply the paint of your choice.
The only drawback is the high price tag... but it's really worth it.
Results? Let's see, not to be a cuñao (we all are at one time or another), but many things would have to be developed. It would be good to combine painting with other solutions, because Lourdes is not.
I measured everything with a thermal camera (which they let me have, as they are expensive) and you can notice something different, but you have to believe the result a little bit, because there are reflections, the weather changes...
It creates a film that looks like a transparent plastic bag for fruit. With the camera, I identified where there were columns or thermal bridges and there, even applying more layers, I didn't notice a noticeable difference.
For repainting the sides that touch the outside and/or areas that have grown mould, I would choose it again. Besides, it is not supposed to let interior heat escape.
If it is to combat the climate as such, only if I have money to spare or to finish off the job. I'd go for other things first: blowing foam, polystyrene or Copoprene coating...
It is a plus. Not to expect a remarkable result on its own.
I had a room, in a flat, with a floor to ceiling column/beam which was getting cold in a crazy way. If the walls were at 20 degrees the column was at 17, this made it unthinkable to heat that room above 19 degrees, when the rest of the house was at 21 - 22.
First, the walls were thoroughly cleaned to remove any dust or debris that might impede the grip. The walls were smooth, without stippled paint.
Three days painting, waiting 6 - 7 hours between coats in November.
I have given 4 generous coats to each wall and the column. Without thinning the paint with water.
Result: The room, with the heating the same as before, reaches 21 degrees. The column has almost the same temperature as the walls, a difference of 0.3 downwards, which is acceptable. If the walls are 20 degrees, the column is 19.7.
It is finally as warm as the rest of the house. You no longer have the feeling of entering a cold crypt.
It remains matt white, white white, then it could be painted over with another plastic paint (as long as it is water-based).
Very satisfied.
As a detail, the cube arrived completely white, with no sticker, no brand and no instructions, I had to find out how to apply it.
I bought the thermoimper paint from tecno prodist.
