Frequently Asked Questions
The most common questions about thermal paint and heat insulation.
What is thermal paint?
Thermal paint is a water-based insulation coating that reduces heat transfer when applied to a surface. In İSO THERMAL it also provides water, sound, moisture and fire resistance; it is applied like paint and comes in a bucket.
Does thermal insulation paint really work?
Yes. In field measurements an untreated façade reaches 70-75 °C in summer while an İSO THERMAL surface stays at 40-45 °C. Given a natural seasonal difference of only 8-10 °C, this 25-30 °C gap proves its effect.
Thermal paint or external cladding?
Cladding adds thickness with thick boards; thermal paint is thin, light (600-650 g/m²) and versatile — combining heat, water, sound, moisture and fire resistance in one coat across almost any surface. Depending on need, the two can complement each other.
Which surfaces can it be applied to?
It bonds with strong adhesion (8 N/mm²) and no primer to almost all building surfaces including concrete, brick, screed, shingle, metal, trapezoidal sheet, onduline, fibre-cement, pergola, polyethylene and polycarbonate.
How long does application take?
One person can apply 70-80 m²+ per day, using roller, brush, trowel or spray gun. Being water-based it dries fast and keeps site schedules on track.
What does the antibacterial property provide?
It inhibits bacteria, fungi, mould and micro-organisms. Combined with its breathable structure, it prevents darkening, mould and efflorescence indoors for a hygienic surface.
How does it behave against fire?
It has a 540 °C flame threshold. It burns with the flame but self-extinguishes once the flame is removed; it is neither an initiator nor a spreader in a fire.
What is the advantage of being water-based?
The water-based formulation contains no harmful substances, is low-odour and is friendly to both the environment and the building. Living spaces become usable again shortly after application.
