FAQs - Warmcoat Energy Saving Emulsion
What is Warmcoat?
Warmcoat Energy Saving Paint has unique insulating properties, which will reduce heat loss through your walls and ceilings. The insulating properties within Warmcoat Paint form a thermally efficient barrier reflecting heat back into your room/building, considerably reducing heat loss. It will help increase room temperature, and keep the room warmer for longer.
How Does Warmcoat Work?

Warmcoat is made up of a unique formulation, and contains insulating NanoCNB structures. When the walls and ceilings are coating with our NanoCNB insulating technologies, the surface's ability to absord the heat from the room is inhibited, thus reflecting the heat BACK into your room.

Once the paint is applied to the walls and ceilings and is dry, this will create a thermally efficient barrier.

How Does Warmcoat Reduce Condensation?

Warmcoat's thermal barrier will keep the colld wall surface and the warmer air apart. As you touch the wall with your hand you can feel the heat being reflected back, and the wall will feel warmer to the touch.

Warmcoat has the same effect with the warm air from your heating system, reflecting  it back into the room instead of the heat being drawn to the colder surface of the wall, and escaping.

The contact between the warm air and the cold wall is dramatically reduced once the Warmcoat is applied. Therefore the production of water droplets and condensation is dramatically reduced if not totally eliminated.

Why Does Condensation Occur?

Condensation occurs when the warm air in a room is attracted to a cool wall. Water droplets then form on the surface and the condensation builds up. This can also casue discolouration, staining, peeling wallpaper and blistering paint and mould growth. This may also lead to health problems related with damp living conditions.

Where have our products been tested and approved?

All Thermilate products have been independently tested accros the world to UK, EU and ASTM standards.

What if my colour choice is not available in the Warmcoat range?

In cases where a particular colour has to be matched, Warmcoat Basecoat is available.  Again apply two coats before using the colour of your choice.

The same energy-saving results will be obtained by the thermal barrier, because once it’s on, it’s working, and keeps working.

How to apply Warmcoat Emulsion

Thermilate Warmcoat can easily be applied by brush, roller or spray. If you are spray painting, filters MUST be removed and nozzle size increased to between 0.019” to 0.026”.

Essentially, use Warmcoat in just the same areas as conventional emulsions. Warmcoat however has the distinct energy-saving advantage and has been scientifically proven to do so. We recommend a minimum of two coats to achieve maximum thermal efficiency.

Can you use a fungicidal product on top of Warmcoat without any adverse effects?
Ideally it would have been better if it had been used underneath the warmcoat, nevertheless it's too late for that now. Therefore, you probably can but you should try a patch first somewhere (assuming it is clear and most fungicidal treatments are), it should be OK. Try a patch in some out of view corner first to test, just in case (although there shouldn't really be a problem).
Can Thermilate Insulating Paint Additive be used on timber framed properties which were built about 550 years ago?

Yes you can use our paints on old properties. We make our paint using natural materials, so it allows them to breathe.
