Insulating Additive for All Paints

"Thank you for your wonderful product 'Thermilate'. It has certainly improved the insulation in our room!   Our house is 1920's and as such has little insulation and the north facing rooms especially suffered from condensation on the cold walls. After applying your product the room now feels much warmer and we have little or no condensation. I have no hesitation in recommending your product. Thank you!!"

Like most insulating type products, better in some areas than others. I mixed it with masonry paint and painted a section of the outside of my house and it appears to be quite effective. Because of the granular nature of thermalite you have to be careful if you want a paint finish wall, for which I would recommend further coats of un-thermalite paint on top. A recommended use would be under lining paper before wallpapering externals walls; this appears to be very effective measure against cold walls, especially older solid type walls. Hope that helpful as feedback Best Regards

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.

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!

We used the paint in the back bedroom and also installed a ventilaion system in the attic and together they seem to have stopped the problem with black around the window and wall.

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.

"This is now the 2nd winter my 'Thermilated'  bathroom walls and ceiling are experiencing and I have waited until now to obtain an overall better idea of precisely whether the product worked for my circumstances or not. The bathroom has quite exposed outer walls and is north facing and this, together with the fact the radiator is neither use nor ornament ensures one does not linger - it is extremely cold. Black mould caused through the condensation has been the bane of my life for many years - until now that is.  The room is still bitterly cold and the walls constantly run with condensation but there has been virtually no mould forms. What little has started to form has been pale grey, which I have immediately wiped away with a cloth - and it is gone! So far, I have only had to wipe it twice in 2 years. I can only hope it now continues with the good work.
I am really more than pleased that I purchased the product. Many thanks for a truly valuable product."

"Over the last three years we have been renovating an old house in Mid-West France. Our intention initially, was to use Thermilate in two of the old bedrooms as they felt "cold". Well we are now totally "hooked" and intend to use it in all of the rooms in the house. I was a little concerned about the texture of the product when it was first applied but the top coat of emulsion soon smoothes it out. I had the mis-fortune of having to put the top coat of emulsion over the Thermilate in a small walk-in wardrobe whilst my husband was painting the main room. The heat reflecting properties soon made me think I was in a sauna! The more rooms we use Thermilate in, the warmer our house becomes, and it is good value when you consider the cost of heating. This is a product that does what the packet says... an excellent product."

"I used Thermilate in my loft which we use as a study. When my wife first bought the product, I was quite dubious as to whether it would actually work????...... Was it just another one of those products, which just sounds wonderful, but doesn't do what it says????  So I decided to use it in just the one room, to see if it would really work..... I really was astonished...previously the thermostat was on 19-20c now with the help of Thermilate we have reduced it to 17c. A 2-3c saving. Previously we had to make sure the door was always closed, otherwise the chill from the room would freeze the whole house, and now we can actually leave the door open!!  I really am surprised the product has worked, and helped save heating costs. I will be painting the other rooms in the house, so I can make the most of the energy savings.”

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.
