    “I tried the Owatrol on truck wheels and painted them later with the Owatrol aluminium. Unbelievable products.”

    By Frank O’Malley Used on truck wheels with Owatrol Aluminium, Owatrol Oil Rust

    "I agonised a long time over the finish but settled on Deks Olje, a synthetic oil. I knew that my boat Grebe was not going to spend very long in the water at a time, so perhaps the finish would not be too critical. Also, at home she was to live in the garage in the same space that she was constructed (sorry, car #2) and so would not be exposed to the elements. I've been very happy with the decision. Coating with Deks Olje is very easy (though it can take a couple of days to dry properly in cold weather). In particular, touching up scratches is almost ridiculously simple - a light sand and a dab of the oil with a cloth or cheap brush and you can't detect where it's been done."

    By Name witheld - Boat owner, D1

    "I have used The Deks Olje D1 on my teak gate very large on and it is fantastic, no peeling and the water is running of it I will reapply 2 to 3 more application after the winter is over,Il send you a photo should you like to see it.Thank you for your help at the time of my enquiry."

    By Jacques Jardin Home Owner, D1

    “We came across Owatrol oil after using Deks Olje D1 a sister product on hardwoods. Now I keep my 69 Wolsey Hornet rust free with Owatrol. Unbeatable I’d say.”

    By A Butler Painter Decorator, EB

    “We did the exterior of a big old house on the seafront which had a history of peeling paint and it worked first class. That was three years ago and the job looks almost as good today as the day we left the site.”

    By Pat Ryan Painter Decorator, EB

    “I would not do any exterior wall that was dodgy with having E-B in my first coat of paint.” 

    By Bernard Quinn Painter Decorator , EB

    By G McCormack Painter Decorator, EB

    “I used to use stabiliser on difficult exterior surfaces, but now I only use E-B because it saves me a lot of time applying a separate stabilising coat and it never lets me down. I tell all my friends about it also.” 

    By David Messitt Painter Decorator, EB

    “I had a wall that was so chalky/dusty I could not clean it. I told my client we needed to put EB through the paint to make it stick….I spoke to my client recently and 10 years on the paint has not moved”

    By Declan Orr Painter Decorator, EB

    By M Prunty Painter Decorator, Floetrol

    By J B Painters, Floetrol

    “I’ve often use it on ceilings to hold back the wet edge when the paint is drying too fast.” 

    By Peter Brewer Painter Decorator, Floetrol

    "We recently purchased your products; Net-trol Wood Cleaner & Textrol Finishing Oil in clear as part of a refurbishment programme on our Village Cricket Pavilion.

    We found the Cleaner very efficient, it brought the cedar shingle roof back to life and the Finishing Oil gave it back it’s depth & protection. The overall result was very impressive.  Both products were easy to use & clear instructions were given. We would certainly use them again."

     

     

     

     

    By J Rogers Refurbished Cricket Pavillion, Net-Trol

    “Net-trol brought my garden chairs back to life, fantastic product. I’ve told four of my friends about it and showed them the chairs, they will be buying it also” 

     

    By E Conway Home Owner, Net-Trol

    “Just to let you know how unbelievably pleased I was with the Net-trol I bought yesterday. The previous cleaner I tried (name withheld) I had to scrub in with wire wool and this met with only limited success. I applied the Net-Trol to the worst areas neat and watched the black marks dissolve before my eyes. On other areas I used a diluted 1:1 mix with equally spectacular results. Even though it is recommended to leave it for 20-30 minutes the marks were gone in 5 ! I don't think the deck was this clean when I first laid it. Whenever you see those before and after pictures on a product like this I tend to disbelieve them but in this case, the product really was that good. I have already recommended it to 3 of my friends."

    By Eddie Byrne Painter Decorator, Owatrol Oil General

    “I always use it in my gloss because it cuts down drag, makes my job easier and leaves a great finish every time which can only be good for my reputation.”

    By Sheila Barry Home Owner, Owatrol Oil General

    “Five months on, my balustrading looks as good as the day it was painted. Before applying the white top coats I was impressed by the way in which the Owatrol seemed to have sealed and contained the rust. I'll let you know how it is after five years! Thanks for your advice.”  

    By Angus Swanson Home Owner, Owatrol Oil Rust

    “I used a stain I made by mixing Owatrol oil and ordinary black matt paint (oil based) to revamp my dull driveway following advice from igoe and it turned out great. Several neighbours commented on how well it looks” 

    By John Rutledge Home Owner, Owatrol Oil General

    “After extensive enquiries about how to restore my driveway, I came across Igoe international who suggested a stain made from oil paint and Owatrol. I followed their advice and did the job with a nice dark brown colour. I’m thrilled to bits and it was very reasonable too” 

    By Marjorie Higgins Home Owner, Owatrol Oil General

    "It made the paint stick much better and did a great job on the rust. I did one shed 4 years ago exactly and when I climbed up on the roof to look at it recently with a view to re painting it again I discovered that it was practically the same as the day I last painted it." 

     

    By T Normanley Farmer, Owatrol Oil General

    “All of the canal boat painters I have chatted to have recommended a product called Owatrol oil. I think this is amazing stuff since it can be applied to a rusty surface to kill the spread of the rust and drive out any lingering water or you can add it to any oil based paint or varnish to improve rust resistance whilst at the same time making the paint easier to apply.” 

    By Brian Malyon Narrow Boat Owner, Owatrol Oil General

    "I have being using Owatrol Oil for years on various jobs such as railings and most recently I used it while repainting a baby chair. I find it great."

    By John McCarthy Boat Trailer, Owatrol Oil Rust

    “A fellow tractor club member introduced me to Owatrol oil 3 years ago. One job I used it on in particular was a 1952 Porche single cylinder vintage tractor which wasn’t in great condition. The oil sorted out the rust really well with minimum time and effort and it has stayed perfect since.”

    By Frank O’Malley Used on truck wheels with Owatrol Aluminium, Owatrol Oil Rust

    “Owatrol is unquestionably one of the best products out there for rust.

    I keep my sheds right with Owatrol oil and oxide paint. Any bad spots I treat with the oil first using an ordinary sweeping brush, especially around the nail holes on the corrugated sheets. Later I mix the oil into the oxide about 20% mix and it lasts for years. My neighbours are now using it as well.”  

    By J Aughney Farmer, Used On Sheds , Owatrol Oil Rust

    came in very handy. I like the fact that after applying it direct on the rust later I can add it into the paint for a great finish.”  

    By M Breathnach Restoration Steel Boat On Shannon, Owatrol Oil Rust

    “I am fanatical about Owatrol Oil and use it in many different ways. Recently I applied an oil based matt black paint to the mortar lines in all the brickwork with 30% Owatrol in the paint, it did a massive job, soaked in like water on paper” 

    By Peter Lawlor Home Owner., Owatrol Oil General

    “Owatrol Oil is one product I will not be without in my van. It is superb for rust, peeling paint and general paint finish, I use it all the time”

    “I heard about the Mould Stop first from a friend who bought it from you two years ago. He always had problems with mould on the outside of his wooden home and it solved his problem. I bought some last year and for the first time I have not seen mould coming back” 

    By Johan Huldt -Eskilstuna, Sweden, Mould Stop

    "We had a very bad mould problem in one bedroom for years and since we used mould stop we have not seen mould since. Powerful product." 

     

    By G Hepworth Home Owner, Mould Stop

    “Yes, I purchased your Mould Stop and used it on the top deck of my wooden boat which had mould when the oils broken down after rainwater went in. It had worked well – thank you.” 

    By Christian Oxenvald - Denmark, Mould Stop

    "Several walls in my apartment had terrible blotchy mould problems. My painter recommended mould stop to reduce the problem and I have to say I couldn't believe the difference it has made since. I'd highly recommend it" 

     

    By Phil Kelly Home Owner, Mould Stop

    “Our  house was built in 1830, thick solid walls, was hard to heat, and had a fair bit of mould on some walls that was impossible to get rid of. We bought 11 cans and have used it in nearly all rooms. We have seen no mould since. One north facing sitting room was nearly always cold & you would not sit in it without a heater, now its much cosier. That’s the acid test. A great product” 

    By A Gahan Home Owner Wexford, Warmcoat

    “We use Warmcoat to help conserve heat in our workshops and classrooms and we are very happy with it” 

    By FAS Building Services Dept. Dublin, Warmcoat

    "Last year I repainted two problem rooms with warmcoat insulating paint and the paint shop assistant suggested to put some anti mould additive in the paint which I did. Not a spec of mould since. A great result." 

     

    By P Hanly Home Owner, Warmcoat

    “It’s the truth, warmcoat did exactly what they said it would do” 

     

    By John Cowley Home Owner, Warmcoat

    "I would just like to leave my comments about an amazing product that does exactly what it says it says on the packet...INSULATES! The paint additive, Thermalite, really does work. I live in an old stone cottage on top of a hill (very, very windy and stormy). Over the years my husband and I have dry-lined our cottage but there was a north facing wall in the kitchen which we never got round to doing so we decided to try Thermalite instead. The difference in the heat that is retained in my kitchen now is very noticeable. Even on a mild day the kitchen used to feel quite cool. Not any more. It just feels so cosy. We are so impressed by this product that we are ordering more! I can't recommend it enough and it certainly deserves a 5 star rating." 

     

    By Trudy Cowx Home Owner, Thermilate Insulating Paint Additive

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

    By Kevin Flynn Home Owner, Thermilate Insulating Paint Additive

    “I have a bedroom that can be quite cold and condensation is a problem on the walls. I repainted the walls with emulsion that had Thermilate in it last March and no mould or mildew has reappeared since. I also found that the room was a lot more cosy. Thermilate works, no doubt about it” Maura C Cavan (name with held as requested)

    "I have an older home, and, my kitchen cabinets are nasty cheap chipboard with a laminate overlay and they were a dark brown. I got a quote to replace them and it was thousands. Then I got a quote for refacing.....still cost prohibitive.

    I had thought about painting them, but, knew I couldn't get the paint to adhere well enough to allow for constantly cleaning the cabinets. Then, I found your product. I thought it was worth a try. Brilliant!!!!   I applied ESP, then a base coat, then a semi gloss finish. The kitchen looks brand new, cleans beautifully and I am thrilled. Thank you for this product."

    By Susan - Home Owner, ESP

    Note that I am not a professional painter, but I needed to repaint some fitted bedroom furniture. The doors were of a very smooth two colour melamine finish which I wanted to repaint white. The last thing I wanted was to spend ages doing the job and the paint not keying properly. That was when I came across a reference to your product ESP. Having details from you of the stockist in my area I purchased a tin of the new formula ESP and also used a white satin finish paint. The application of the ESP was simplicity itself, and I followed it with 3 coats of the paint using a small roller.   The results have been excellent and the furniture is looking really great, even having compliments from a professional painter and decorator who took note of the product name.

    Hope this helps, Sincerely

    By Tom Crean Painter Decorator, Owatrol Oil General

    I received my ESP today...thank you very much. I am a Professional Housekeeper, but, also a bit of an artist.   As a side line I paint furniture with wonderful designs. I have a client that has the UGLIEST metal cabinets in their office. I mentioned to them that I could paint these (and put wonderful designs on them). Before your product, I would have used spray paint as a base, and, then worked from that. I don't like spray paint.It doesn't spray evenly, it spots and, generally drives my out of my mind. Now, I'm going to use ESP as my base product for all future jobs, and, then just start painting. I can use regular emulsion paint and then, whatever design the person wants. As an artist, I can tell you that it's much easier to paint on emulsions than spray paint.   I can control my brush strokes, the colour stays true and, my end result will please me (and buyer) even more. I believe in your product.   It saved my kitchen cabinets, it has made my life as an artist easier. Thank you

    "I have a red 1999 Toyota Hiace van, on which the colour had faded badly over the years. Washing the van one Saturday a few months ago I noticed some rust spots on the back door. I treated the rust with Owatrol Oil and then painted the door with an oil based paint with Owatrol Oil mixed through it. I was so impressed with the result I decided to treat and repaint the rest of the van and am delighted with the result."

    "We fabricate various structures and we have used Owatrol oil on occasions where customers wanted a natural look on the steel and it did a great job.

    Two jobs in particular that stood out were a spiral staircase and a set or restaurant tables. Both wanted that natural look and the Owatrol Oil worked out extremely well"

    By Seamus Donoghue Painter Decorator, Floetrol

    Hi Brendan,

    Got ESP Primer from Coolmine Decor recently.Doing a lot of decorating around the house at the moment and found it very helpful and labour saving not having to sand and undercoat when putting white over white on skirting boards and architrave etc. Found it a clean, easy to use, low-odour product and I would definitely recommend it.
    Thanks again for coming back to me with the address and for your booklet - it is a "mine of useful information".

    "Thanks very much for the Oops which arrived quickly. it did the job of removing dried - in emulsion from my daughter's carpet brilliantly and also some really dried in rust stains from the side of her radiator. so, job well done. thanks again,"

    By Alice Orr. - Home Owner, OOPS

    One wall in the small bedroom was always wet and mouldy in cold weather and now it’s totally dry. That room in particular was always freezing and now it is so comfortable. We’ve now done all the other bedrooms and the hall stairs and landing which we papered over with your Thermilate Warmcoat and the difference is amazing. Our gas fired heating burner (Ideal classic) has markings of 1 to 6 and we used to have it set at 5 switched on most of the day. Now it is down to 2 and the house is much warmer than it used to be. I wish we had done this years ago when we moved in. I’d recommend it to anybody. We’re delighted with it

    By Mrs Trish Pearson Home Owner Dublin 22, Warmcoat

    “I promised I'd let you know how I got on with the paint. I’m thrilled to bits the way my bedroom has turned out after using the Thermilate paint. The walls used to be damp to the touch and mouldy, and it was very hard to get a proper nights sleep, I was wheezy etc. I put on two coats on the walls and ceiling and the difference is unbelievable. The room is much warmer & drier, the musty smell is gone and I’m breathing and sleeping much better now. My daughter is getting her house done with it in the next few weeks. It has made such a difference to me. Thanks a million for such a great product. I’ve been telling everybody about it since

    By Ms Connie Cullen Home Owner Dublin 12, Warmcoat

    "I tend to be very sceptical about many of those new so-called miracle products. I was wary about this too, but a friend of mine whose opinion I would respect told me that he had used Thermilate Warmcoat to great effect so I decided to give it a try in the box bedroom which tends to be quite cold. I have to say I was amazed at the difference in the room temperature. Much cosier and I even had to turn down the rad because the room was getting too warm on the previous setting. No doubt about it, this Thermilate Warmcoat works. I will certainly be using Warmcoat on all future paint jobs around the house.

    I absolutely love the Owatrol Aluminium, used it for repainting the chasis and hitch, and it did an amazing job!

    By Alex Rathfarnham, Owatrol Aluminium RA85

    “Just to let you know, I have a few older  apartments which have a long history of condensation and mould problems. Every year the same problem. I used the Warmcoat in a couple of the worst rooms and I have not seen the problem since. I have recommended it numerous times to friends. I am absolutely delighted”

    By T Nicholas, Belfast, Property Landlord, Warmcoat

    “I used that Thermilate at home in a room that was hard to heat, and had lots of condensation problems. Also had mould near the windows. It worked superbly and I would highly recommend it to anybody”

    By Paul Hughes Home Owner Mayo, Warmcoat

    “We used the Thermilate Warmcoat insulating paint in six rooms at home and we are extremely happy with it. I have been telling all my mates about it and several of them have used it since. An excellent product.”

    By Fred Cairns Home Owner Dublin 9, Warmcoat

    "Very effective and easy to apply. I've told my friends about it and many of those have since used it and are delighted also"

    By Celine Dunne Home Owner Dublin, Warmcoat

    "My office reception was never insulated and consequently the staff was constantly complaining of the cold despite there being a large radiator heating this room. Late last Spring I applied three coats of Warmcoat followed by a standard emulsion paint. The staff now wants the heat turned down as they now feel the office is too warm!
    A wonderful product and I have no hesitation in recommending it."

    By Jonathan Hutton Co Director Dublin 15, Warmcoat

    "We have used the Warmcoat all over our home and it is absolutely amazing. Our neighbours were so impressed that they have used it also. There is no way we would go back to how it used to be. Our radiator usage as well as heating bills has been cut and the place is much cosier than before. I'd highly recommend it to anybody. It’s a very cheap answer to a cold house"

    By Barry Mullan Home Owner Dublin 24, Warmcoat

    "I collected the Warmcoat two weeks ago and I must say the room (the main living room) which we applied it in has never felt as warm in the thirteen years we have lived in the house.
    This is amazing considering we only applied two coats to the two exterior facing walls. Our house is about 65 years old and has no interior stud work, all the walls are solid. As you can imagine it can be very hard to heat and even harder to hold the heat in.
    This weekend we are taking on the box bedroom, this is by far the coldest room in the house and a great test for Warmcoat. The room also has some condensation / mould.
    If this room is a success I will be applying two coats to all exterior facing walls in the house. I will let you know how it goes."

    By Gerry McCarthy Home Owner Dublin 22, Warmcoat

    "I bought and used Warmcoat for one particular bedroom. While I was initially sceptical, I decided to take a chance on it anyway as it wasn't too expensive.
    To prove it to myself I placed a thermometer in the room for a month before painting it. After I applied the Warmcoat I placed the thermometer back in the room again for another month.
    To my surprise I discovered that without changing any heating settings or rad, it showed an extra 3 degrees temperature on average in that same room. I am very happy with it and tell all my friends now!"

    By Deirdre Collins Home Owner Dublin 14, Warmcoat

    "I've used it loads of times and swear by it. I wouldn't do any interior paint job now without the Warmcoat. A great product."

    "I cannot understand why everybody in the country isn't using this, it's amazing. I suppose they have not heard about it yet"

    By Jim Cullen Home Owner Dublin 7, Warmcoat

    "We used it in a sitting / dining room which was always cold. There's no doubt about it, we find the room much warmer & we noticed a big difference. We are going to use it in one of the bedrooms next."

    By J & C Folan Home Owner Galway, Warmcoat

    "I have a bedroom that can be quite cold and condensation is a problem on the walls.
    I repainted the walls with Warmcoat last March and no mould or mildew has reappeared since. I also found that the room was a lot more cosy. Warmcoat works, no doubt about it"

    By Maura C. Cavan Home Owner, Warmcoat

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

    By K. Flynn Home Owner Dublin 13, Warmcoat

    "Dear Brendan It is a while since I contacted you last. I have applied 3 coats of Warmcoat to three outside walls and finished them with the appropriate colour. The bathrooms and kitchen passage are very much warmer - there is not that 'cold wall' which used to meet one on entering the room or passage. In addition condensation has been completely stopped. Even the cold and condensation on the outside door in the kitchen has been completely solved. I have recommended Warmcoat to a number of friends and colleagues and they have been amazed at the difference in wall temperature it has made. Warmcoat is quite expensive but well done on marketing the product and I wish you continued success with it. God bless"

    “The total restoration of the 15th century castle built by the de Burgo clan in Claregalway has taken several years and is nearing completion. Irish green oak wood was selected for all the doors, roof, gallery, windows and following the strong recommendation of the Woodright Paul Price, we treated all the oak with your Deks Olje D1 oil and we are extremely happy with it. Looks great. Call in if you are in the area.

    By Mike Herwood Claregalway Castle, D1

    “We used Deks Olje on the standard-finish clinker-built boat we built in the shop where I worked. We never had any complaints. Some of the clients brought the boats back for refinishing every few years and it looked to be working well. Simple to apply...we used a Weed Sprayer, then drained out the excess and put it back into the sprayer for the next boat. These boats were mainly sold in the Pacific NW where UVs are not so much a problem...grin.  If I were thinking 'Oil Finish' I'd use it again.”

    By D Hanson, D1

    "I used the Deks Olje D1 on my new herringbone pattern, oak floor. I did not want a regular floor varnish - I wanted a more natural look. Yes, I'm happy to say that the Deks Olje D1 did a great job and we're very happy with it"

    “We used EB eight years ago on a very difficult to get at concrete overhang. This overhang was about 4 storeys up on the front of a college and had 50 years of crusty traffic pollution etc. It was a very difficult job but it worked fantastic, and today, after all that time, the paint has not budged an inch, it’s a bit faded looking but no paint peeling anywhere.

    “Over the years we get a lot of products introduced to the market claiming all sorts of benefits and improvements which in a substantial number of cases do not live up to expectations, consequently I was introduced to Owatrol with a certain amount of understandable scepticism. After using Owatrol products since 1997, I am glad to say that in my experience they have provided most of the benefits claimed by the manufacturers. I It’s the best product I’ve ever seen on rusty gates etc.”

    "Hi Brendan, I was talking to you a few years ago about the Owatrol for sealing metal prior to painting. I did buy it in Woodies and I am pleased to say that it was a great success. We have a lot of wrought iron on windows and around the patio areas of our apartment in Spain. Being quite close to the sea, it rusted every year which was a right nuisance. I told you that I would try the Owatrol to see if would lighten this painting burden and it did. I mentioned that I could not give a judgement until three years had passed. It is fine now after that time and we are delighted.Many thanks and best regards. Michael Confrey. P.S. I didn't emphasise also the fact that there is very much a sun factor in Spain, besides the sea air!!!

    Thermilate was extremely easy to use, the instructions were very clear, I simply poured it into the paint and stirred. It seemed to have cured the problem, and it actually had a fantastic added benefit for me. I decided to measure the temperature difference in the room, and to my amazement, I found that previously the average temperature in the room was 15c and now it is actually 18c, this was throughout the winter season.
    At the moment I'm just finding time to redecorate, so I can use it in the other rooms in the house too, and make the most of the heat savings. Thermilate helped save 3 degrees;  it truly is a fantastic product."

    By Mr Watson-Thomas Kent, Thermilate Additive

    "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.”

    By Thomas C, Thermilate Additive

    "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."

    "On renovating my son's bungalow, first we installed D.I.Y electric central heating mats over the concrete floors.  Each room having its own thermostat and timer. By now (late September), we had painted the first bedroom with Thermilate this was reading 27C. The second bedroom without Thermilate was 24C. The temperature difference is remarkable. I have now ordered more Thermilate for my own house to lower fuel costs.

    Dear Sir
    We are writing to tell you how pleased I am with Thermilate and to say thank you for making my sunroom a Comfort to be in.
    We have a sunroom with brick walls the sunroom used to feel like an ice box and the walls were always cold.
    The solutions we were offered were expensive and disruptive and then we read about Thermilate and decided to give it a try.
    We painted one wall to see how well it worked to our amazement the wall felt warmer as soon as the paint dried.
    Well needless to say we now have a fully insulated sunroom which is now nice and warm and no longer feels cold.
    Never thought our insulation problem could be solved so easy and simply.Its just so simple that I am amazed. We are so pleased we look forward to using Thermilate in the rest of the house. Please forward details of other new Thermilate products

    "Thermilate was used in the back bedroom, for reducing condensation.
    I used a few different types of paints designed specifically for preventing condensation, but they never worked, and the condensation always came back. However, a year later, and unbelievable,  no condensation plus the average temperature in the room before I painted was 16c, and after applying Thermilate is 19-20c. One of my friends has a similar problem with condensation, and I advised him to use Thermilate. He has recently painted it too. We are all very very pleased with the results, I am sure he will be too."

    "My lounge always had this uncomfortable chill, and a large amount of heating was required in order to keep the room warm. I painted 2 coats in the lounge, many months ago with the hope it would help with the heating costs. To our excitement, the temperature in the room is now 4 degrees higher, which means I don't need to use as much heating as before. A saving of 4 degrees is really much more than I expected, and it actually made the paint go further.........Thermilate has certainly exceeded my expectations......."

    By Mrs M E Gordon Home Owner Glasgow, Thermilate Additive

    "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."

    "I foster 6 children together with my mum. We've always had a problem with damp caused by condensation, in the hallway...... I'd tried allsorts of products to prevent the condensation coming back. I'd used a paint designed specially for preventing condensation, tried tinfoil before wallpapering, and all sorts of other products. It was important for me to get rid of the condensation because of the children. I then used Thermilate. I used 2 coats in the hallway, nearly a year ago and the condensation has not come back. I then used it in my kitchen where I had a similar problem, I used 2 coats, again it has not come back. I can't believe it, fantastic product, fantastic idea. I absolutely love the product."

    By Mrs Phillips Home Owner Swansea, Thermilate Additive

    " 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."

    By Mrs V Leith Home Owner Doncaster, Thermilate Additive

I will be using Thermilate in other rooms in the house, and I will definitely be buying it again."

    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!

    By Jim Mileski Home Owner, Thermilate Additive

    "I have no central heating in my house, so in the winter, as soon as I left the lounge the house was always absolutely freezing, as this is the only room with a gas fire or any method of heating.  The bathroom was particularly cold, and also had trouble with condensation.  I saw Thermilate, and thought I'd give it a try. I decided to buy it, because it has been developed in association with NASA, and has been tested by many other independent organisations. I thought I’d give it a try, nothing to lose. I can certainly tell you I am very very happy with the results…nearly a year later and still no condensation in the bathroom, and the best thing is my house at last actually feels unbelievably warmer throughout the winter, (I could actually leave the lounge).  I haven't measured the exact temperature, I don't need to, it’s so much warmer maybe at least 3-4 degrees, even the walls feel warmer.  Thermilate is an incredible product”

    By Miss T Fenwick Home Owner Louth, Thermilate Additive

    "Thermilate was used in my kitchen, unbelievably as it says, it has actually helped prevent the condensation.  Thermilate was extremely easy to use and apply, I applied 2 coats with Thermilate, and 1 coat with no Thermilate mixed in the paint, for a perfectly smooth finish. Brilliant.  I also have a condensation problem in the bathroom, I just can’t wait to get painting in the bathroom too.

    By Mr Kimber Home Owner Hampshire, Thermilate Additive

    "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!!"

    By Mrs Mooney Home Owner Selby, Thermilate Additive

    "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."

    By Mrs Baker Home Owner United Kingdom, Thermilate Additive

    "We have applied Thermilate to our walls and the difference is so marked that you can detect it by touch!  As a scientist, I know the difference strong enough to be detected by an instrument as insensitive as the human hand must therefore be a significant difference. We will use the Thermilate product where possible in the future and we will recommend it to others."

    By Dr Shah Yorkshire, Thermilate Additive

    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.

    By Alan Shepard Home Owner Yorkshire, Thermilate Additive

    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 received the package of Thermilate, which was used on my kitchen ceiling. The kitchen is 15ft x12ft x 9 ft high and previously had polystyrene tiles. Your product seems to do what it says, by reflecting the heat back into the kitchen. I have been monitoring the temperature and I would say that Thermilate has been a good solution to the removal of the polystyrene tiles. Thank you once more

    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.

    By Jenne Helm Home Owner, Thermilate Additive

    “I used the Thermilate powder in 2 locations but one was my rented-out house so cannot give feedback on thermal results. The second location was a very damp bathroom with a north facing wall. I spoke to the manager of Brewers in Tunbridge Wells where I have an account. We decided I should mix the powder with a water-based eggshell so that the surface could not absorb any moisture to grow mould in (a very mouldy bathroom,by the way). The ceiling had 2 coats and was 100% successful. The walls only got one coat and after about 1 year the mould is breaking through and I'm about to clean that off and put the second coat on. I am talking about an extreme environment here! Colour: Whilst the powder looks like it will affect the paint shade, it does not. If it does, it's by an infinitely small amount. Mixing: It mixed with the two types of paint I used very well and stays bound in the paint whilst you are using it. Application: The second coat is a bit hard going, feeling like a cross between painting and plastering but for most fit decorators, I doubt they would notice that much. The benefits far outweigh this though. I would use it in problem areas again but in future will be working on buildings where I can control the vapour permeabilty of the walls and so would be keen to hear from you if any work has been done on whether this type of paint/powder is vapour permeable or not.” Best wishes

    Reference your survey on My purchase of your Thermilete product. I have over 40 years experience in Thermal Insulation applications including  Marine & Industrial painting (On and Offshore) UK and Overseas. At present I have been using your Thermilte powder additive to emulsion paint interior and exterior applications to Wall and Roof tile coating. Internally I have expereinced the benifit of this application and based on application from last winter here in the UK and find it  has positive rsults.. The instructions are simple.., add the contents to 5 Ltrs of paint and  apply coat 2 coats and then apply a final colour of your choce as an final encapulation. Its work's!! So I am pleased about this on my home project..I will also use your product on Marine Contracts that I am estimating on at present. The realality is  you can use your powder  addditive on any application where you require a simple Insulation application with minimum of skill. Regards

    By RNC Berry - Thermal Insulation Applications, Thermilate Additive

    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

    By Darren Bird Home Owner, Thermilate Additive

    I purchased the Thermilate granules to use in my parents Holiday Chalet.  This is a cold enviroment in general. However, the walls no longer have the usual cold/damp feel to them they had before using the paint additive.  We found it very easy to use and it left a very nice finish to the walls & ceilings.  When the heating is turned on, the Chalet does warm up a lot faster.   We are going to use it on the exterior next year to increase the benefits. Kind regards

    By Angela Perkins Chalet Owner, Thermilate Additive

    I purchased the paint additive. I used it in an area where there was always condensation and a little dampness. Needless to say the condensation and dampness has gone. The room appears warmer.  One thing I would say, that the additive makes the paint a little grainy, perhaps a way around this is needed.  Best Regards 

    By Shaffiq Mahmood Home Owner, Thermilate Additive

    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

    By Brenda Home Owner Manchester, Thermilate Additive

    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

    By J BOLDY Home Owner, Thermilate Additive

    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.

    By Bev Rees Home Owner, Thermilate Additive

    I used the product in my paint when redecorating my bedroom which had quite a bit of mould growth which was causing health issues. After treating the areas with a liquid mould killer, mould resistant primer and adding mould inhibitor to the paint, I also added the thermalite. The process was easy and the finish although slightly fibrous in appearance was fine, I have not had any mould growth since and the walls do appear to be staying a bit warmer.
    I only have to replace the radiator as this was only aboutr a third of the recommended power and the room will to all intents and purposes be fine. Whne redecoratin g the rest of the flat I will probably use thrmealite in the paint to try and save monet with the insylating properties. The wall I treated were exterior NW facing walls which always seemed cold before. The room does seem more tolerable and also not as hot in the summer.
    Would I recommend the product thermalite? Yes I would and actually have to friends and family. Thanks for what seems like a winner product. Kind regards

    By John C Riddle Home Owner, Thermilate Additive

    I would just like to leave my comments about an amazing product that does exactly what it says it says on the packet...INSULATES! The paint additive, Thermalite, really does work. I live in an old stone cottage on top of a hill (very, very windy and stormy). Over the years my husband and I have dry-lined our cottage but there was a north facing wall in the kitchen which we never got round to doing so we decided to try Thermalite instead. The difference in the heat that is retained in my kitchen now is very noticeable. Even on a mild day the kitchen used to feel quite cool. Not any more. It just feels so cosy. We are so impressed by this product that we are ordering more! I can't recommend it enough and it certainly deserves a 5 star rating.

    By Trudy Cowx Home Owner Clare, Thermilate Additive

    So far so good, does seem a bit warmer. It was very easy to use and worked wonders at covering up small cracks. Yes I do need some more please, which I guess sums up what I think. Regards,

    Everything that was said about thermalite paint was indeed correct, i have found out that the product saved me up to 60% on my heating bills also the internal painted walls did indeed stop heat transfer to the outside i would indeed recommend your product to anyone.  best regards

    By mick mullin Home Owner, Warmcoat

    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

    I used it on an old building with single skin stone walls which have always felt cold. I was pleased with the slightly textured finish I achieved on smooth walls. When I get round to decorating the other rooms I will be using Thermilate. I'm not sure whether it makes the room warmer. I also have a 1930s built house I am renovating  where I will use Thermilate. So far I have used the powder which I found easy to mix. I will be comparing your 'readymixed' paint on the bathroom with mixing the powder with a kitchen paint. Regads,

    We purchased your thermilate paint additive because we have a spare bedroom that our granddaughter uses at weekends and even with central heating we have always found the room to be cold as it has two 'outside' walls.  We used your product on the two walls when we decorated and then papered over one of the  walls.  We have found that the wall that was papered over is warm to the touch but the wall we just painted is not as successful.  I have mentioned to my husband that if we have enough paper we are going to do the wall again.  We think your product is very good.  Our house was built in 1918 and we have now found a couple of damp patches downstairs in the dining room and we will be treating these areas this winter when we decorate. Yours sincerely

    By Mrs J Bottomley Home Owner, Thermilate Additive

    Dear Sir or Madam.

    Just a note to say thank you for a great product! We used Thermilate on the interior walls and ceilings of our new home. I have steel framed home and wanted to make sure there was no hosting on the walls from hear/cold transfer and that there was minimal loss of heat.

    When we got our first gas bill for winter weather I was surprised. It was twice what my neighbours were. I knew my heat wasn't coming on very much and I shouldn't use that much gas. I called the heating contractor immediately. They didn't think that my bill was excessive for the size house I have. (It is 3, 850 Sq. Ft. in size) but with all I had done to be energy efficient 1 felt that my gas

    bill was very high!. I also called the insulation people to see if we needed more insulation in the attic. The insulation contractor had me do a few tests, while we were waiting on the Heating and Air-conditioning contractor, to see if we had a lot of heat loss through the ceiling. We had 9" of snow the day before and it was 26 degrees outside so it was a good time to do this type of testing! I had a temperature difference of 8 degrees from the top of the insulation and the attic air temperature, which means I had very little heat loss through the ceiling. Next I checked the temperature difference inside the house between the sitting area and the ceiling. The average was 2 degrees. With ten-foot high ceilings there is usually a 10 deg. temperature difference between the floor and ceiling! . The Insulation contractor was stunned! I then proceeded to tell him about Thermilate and gave him your web address so that he could get more information! The Heating and Air conditioning people finally found the trouble with the heater, it was a bad computer board that was turning on the gas without the thermostat calling for heat so it was burning gas but the dampers didn't open for the heat to go into the house. When it was fixed my gas usage dropped to less than a third of what it was before!

    The outside temperature was in the seventies yesterday and the house was 72 degrees inside when we went to bed. When we got up in the morning it was 44 degrees outside and when I checked the gas meter no gas had been used by the heater all night and the inside temperature was still 70 degrees. (Only a 2-degree overnight interior temperature drop!)

    I strongly recommend the use of Thermilate for anyone who wants to maintain a comfortable home and who desires to reduce their energy expenses!

    Sincerely,

    “It’s three years since I last put Textrol Rustic Oak on my deck. It’s still looking great but I am going to top it up now just to keep it looking good because we might not get the weather for another three years to do it again!! I wouldn’t use anything else”

    By Paul McHugh Home Owner, Textrol

    "I need more Textrol Golden Oak now. I live in a very exposed part of Donegal and applied Textrol 5 years ago to my decking and it has stood up amazingly well to the elements including two very cold winters. It is a great product, no doubt about it." 

    By G McGonnigle Home Owner, Textrol

    "You asked how I got on with the Textrol? I used on the decking all around my mobile home in wexford after stripping off the mess that was there before by using the Prepdeck. The textrol looks superb and several neighbours have since used it when they saw how mine turned out"

    By Michael Farrell Holiday Mobile Home Deck, Textrol

    “I used the Net-trol and Textrol on my deck and garden furniture. I was absolutely delighted with the results. In particular on the garden furniture, it wasn't just an improvement - but anyone that saw the results asked me if we had bought new furniture. I don't think I would have tried the products had it not been for the exceptional, expert and patient advice that Brendan Igoe gave me over the phone. From product selection, application advice, even colour choice etc - Brendan was a gem and his help very much appreciated.”

    "I had my Cedar chalet beside the sea done in Textrol two years ago and it still looks fabulous. It was previously treated with another finish that peeled which I had stripped off, & I'm delighted with the way the Textrol turned out"

    "We recently purchased your products; Net-trol Wood Cleaner & Textrol Finishing Oil in clear as part of a refurbishment programme on our Village Cricket Pavilion.

    By Cricket Pavilion, Textrol

    We found the Cleaner very efficient, it brought the cedar shingle roof back to life and the textrol finishing oil gave it back it’s depth & protection. The overall result was very impressive. Both products were easy to use & clear instructions were given. We would certainly use them again." Kind Regards

    By Julie Rogers Cedar Shingles, Textrol

    "Five years ago I contacted your co about my 80 sq yards wooden deck and even though I treated every year with xxxxxxxxxxxx, it was a total mess with the previous decking oil peeling off all over the place and clogging in the grooves.At the time Igoe recommended that I strip off all the remaining decking  oil with prepdeck and give it a good wash then with net-trol and later we applied two good coats of textrol. We did that and the deck has looked first class ever since with no peeling anywhere even through two extremely harsh winters the like of which I never saw before. I am now freshening it up with another coat of textrol to keep it looking good before it might start to deteriorate. I wouldn't use anything else now, because, even though its a bit more expensive than the others, I still saved the cost of four applications and more to the point, textrol saved me a lot of hard work."
