Hi all,

Anyone got any experience with this product? http://www.thermilate.com/

It's a paint additive that's supposed to improve the insulating
properties of the surface it's applied to, but I'm a wee bit dubious
about it. I'm thinking of buying a pouch of 550g. If you know anything
about this product, I'd appreciate it if you could
let me know what you think of it.

Cheers,

Ryan




save 25% energy seems to good to be true, 550g in 5l of paint rough
coverage 14 sq m = 39g of powder per square metre, I cant see how that
will make 25% improvement


Its probably true, in specific circumstances.
I imagine that if it leaves a rough surface it could cause a thin layer of
static air that would insulate the surface just as it does in double
glazing.
However the slightest breeze or draught will remove the layer.
