Q: Does Supertherm have an R value? A: Yes it does! By the only recognised test for evaluating approved materials, the ASTM C236-89. This test was conducted by VTEC laboratory and the National Certified Testing Laboratory (NCTL) in the USA. This test showed that Supertherm is 246% better than the most accepted material in use today (Fibreglass Batt Insulation). And proved that a single coat of Supertherm provides an R19.3, but if interior and exterior of a wall are coated with a single coat, an R28.5 is attained. Download PDF of test (1.5MB) |

Q: There are other ceramic paints, why should I use yours? A: As the great corporations and government agencies that opted for Supertherm, you should have a "budget" when considering the investment necessary to solve your insulation problems. You should know that Supertherm will do the job for a minimum of twenty years, it will insulate even if you paint over it, it will cut your energy bills in half thus returning your investment within few months, and it will result in great savings from there on. Additionally Supertherm is not like other ceramic coatings that yield a rough finish do to their raw ceramics compounds. Supertherm is manufactured with four different types of ceramics which are ground to perfect microscopic spheres, the formula is protected but you should know that the finish will be smooth and latex like with a lusciously rich surface finish. And don't forget R19. You would have to build an additional wall at least 8" thick and fill it with fiberglass in order to match Supertherm's insulation properties. |

Q: How is it applied? A: You can use a Brush, Roller, or an Airless Pot Sprayer with a pressure of 1500 lbs/sq inch. The easiest way of knowing how much paint to use, is to select an area of 100 sq ft ( 10 feet x 10 feet ) and apply a whole gallon to it. With rollers you may have to apply the same amount in two coats this is due to the tendency of rollers to squeeze the coat too thin. |
