Thermilate Insulating Additive for All Paints

I used it on all the external wall in our house. It worked very well. We have a older house with brick walls - no cavity - so this was the most cost effective way to insulate. The walls are noticeably warmer. Thanks

Yes I bought the powder additive which I mixed with either dulux paint or crown pain which was to make the bedroom warmer and also to help us with cols pots in corners of the walls which was getting mould which have helped 80%, Its been used to paint our daughters bedroom as in her room it has thin wallpaper so we added this to it to bring the room up to temperature which worked fine. Regards

“I used it in an extension and the effect of the extra heat was very noticeable” 

I used the product internally but only on outside walls of a house where it would have been expensive and difficult to do any other insulation. I used the powder in a tempera (velvet finish) paint which covers imperfections very well. The colours were strong colours. The powder was very easy to mix into the paint.
The powder didn't noticeably change the colour or the finish of the paint when dry. There is a noticable difference to the touch of the temperature of the wall and on one particularly cold wall it stopped a draft coming down the wall. Having said this it is hard to put any numbers to the temperature of the rooms where it has been applied or to any saving in money but I would say that the rooms are more comfortable and I have been showing the product off to friends. Regards

My house was too hot! I have southern exposure across the back and a low pitched roof. Even when the temperature is below freezing, if the sun is out, my living room could easily get up to 80 degrees, and 90 or more during the summer. Because I needed to repaint the room and ceiling, I put Thermilate in the paint. I figured at the very least, it didn't cost much and might help although frankly I was not optimistic. So it was a nice surprise to find the room was approximately 8 to 10 degrees cooler. And the difference in the rooms comfort level was amazing! Anyway, thank you, thank you, and thank you! I will write back when I get around to painting our basement which is way too cold and tell you how that works too! Thanks again

I bought some Thermilate from you quite a while ago and I would like to report on the results I had after using the product. I live in an old stone cottage in the Pennines, the sort with thick walls and mullion windows. The mullions consist of a slab of gritstone with a depth of about six inches. Because the stone mullion is both external and internal the inner surface is always cool. As a result, mainly in the bedrooms, condensation appears on the inner surface each morning and encourages the growth of moulds. I had been having problems with this for years with frequent redecoration needed. In spring 2002 I painted the inside of the mullions again, but this time I added Thermilate to the emulsion. The result is that after over one year of use, I have not touched the mullions and the growth of mould is almost negligible. It is definitely a success. My friend lives in Cork and had purchased a house that had some mould on part of the internal walls. Investigation showed that the problem was not caused by rising damp, but was due to the construction of the walls. It appears that many houses there are built with a single leaf of a large concrete blocks. External walls that have poor air circulation, such as behind cupboards, are prone to condensation and mould growth. Last year I gave my friend a packet of Thermilate and he painted it on the affected walls. To date he has had no recurrence of mould growth. Sorry it has taken so long to get this to you, but I wanted to be absolutely sure whether or not the stuff worked before I was prepared to comment on it. Many thanks for your help.

"I first purchased Thermilate for my son’s house. He lives in Deeside Aboyne a very cold part of the country, his heating costs were very high, and his house was always cold. We applied 2 coats on the inside of the house, to all his external walls. His house is now unbelievably so much warmer, superbly more comfortable, Thermilate has helped with energy saving, and of course cost saving. Once we saw the benefits of Thermilate, we purchased more Thermilate to use in my daughters house – attic, as she can’t have any insulation there. The wall actually felt amazingly warmer just a couple of days later.......... previously there was a definite chill in the attic, and now it is actually warmer. I found that the Thermilate also made the paint go further......We are all very very impressed with the product, it really is amazing."

E-mail testimonial from a customer Message: I love your product! I am so glad I found that I could purchase just this product rather than a premixed product. I had been doing that in the past and I prefer to mix it in my own paint.

Comments: I am just a regular homeowner of a 1901 late Victorian. In the stairway going to the finished attic, there is not enough headroom for any kind of insulation. I gave the ceiling and walls 2 coats of paint with Thermilate, and the difference is really phenomenal. Thanks for making such a useful and affordable product. I've ordered 5 more containers and can't wait to start painting more!

" I used Thermilate in 2 bedrooms, where I always had a condensation problem. We’d tried cleaning it off on a number of occasions, and tried lots of other things to get rid of it. But it would always come back.  We applied Thermilate in both rooms. We really cannot believe Thermilate has completely eliminated the condensation. It also came with an added benefit, the room is now a lot warmer. I have a similar problem in my lounge, which is quite large, and we will be buying some more to use there too. I really would recommend Thermilate to anyone."
