FAQ

This is possible thanks to the glass microspheres contained in the coating, which have two functions – they reflect solar radiation and increase thermal resistance.

Our products can be painted over with another product (e.g. acrylic paints), but they work best as the last layer because they work in two ways:

• radiation reflection – thermal radiation is reflected from the coating surface. The product has a TSR coefficient of 90%.
• limiting thermal conductivity – similar to traditional thermal insulation materials, such as polystyrene.

If our paint is painted over, the reflective effect will deteriorate, but the thermal conductivity will still “work”. Technically, there are no contraindications and the last layer can be made with a different paint, however, in the case of such a solution, we recommend making a layer 1.5mm-2.0mm thick in the place of frost penetration.

The standard color of our products is white – however, to color our paint, you can use generally available pigments for water-based paints, or order paint in a color available in our color palette.

The paint eliminates thermal bridges and “shifts” the dew point, thanks to which moisture does not appear on the painted surface – the main cause of mold and fungus.

Of course! All our products are water-soluble and therefore ecological! Remember, however, that as with other paints, the room must be well ventilated when painting.

It all depends on the problem you want to solve:

• Heating up from the sun? Just 0.5 mm is enough
• Mold and fungus on the walls? We recommend 1 mm
• Thermal insulation? 0,5-3mm
• Hot surface (e.g. pipe)? 1,5-3 mm

Consumption, depending on the application, is 0.5 – 3.0 liters of paint on the surface of 1 m2.

• radiation reflection – total layer thickness min. 0.5mm (0,5 l/m²),
• mold and fungus on the walls – total layer thickness min. 1mm (1 l/m²),
• water vapor condensation – total layer thickness min. 1.5mm(1,5 l/m²),
• thermal insulation – total layer thickness min. 1-3mm (1-3 l/m²),
• hot surface (e.g. pipe) – total layer thickness 1.5-3 mm (1.5-3 l/m²).

If you have difficulty estimating the amount of paint you need, we encourage you to try our tool – calculator (click here).

Yes and no. While thermal insulation paint, due to its fluidity, allows you to cover surfaces of any shape, in the case of insulation, for example, buildings, it works better as “insulation”. By using paint in this case, we can significantly reduce the thickness of the polystyrene, and thus not lose volume.

Of course, all you need is a brush or roller! However, it should be remembered that it is not a standard decorative paint, but a thin-layer thermal insulation, so the comfort of application may differ from ordinary paints.

In the case of thermal insulation mass, application is possible only with a spatula/trowel and requires more experience and skills in applying materials such as plaster.

We recommend making a trial application on a safe section.

Paints and thermal insulation masses can be applied to many types of substrates, such as concrete, plaster, metal, wood and plastics (except polyethylene).

The drying and recoating times depend on the thickness of the layer, temperature and relative air humidity. For example, the drying time of a single layer at a temperature of +20 ± 2°C is up to 24 hours, while if the substrate temperature is over +50°C, this time is reduced to 1 hour.

All our products are water-soluble and therefore safe for humans! Water-borne paint, i.e. water-based paint, does not contain solvents harmful to health and a minimum amount of volatile organic compounds (VOC).

Thanks to the minimal content of volatile organic compounds (VOC), our products have a very low impact on polluting our planet. In addition, they are water-soluble, so they do not contain harmful chemical solvents!

Our paints and thermal insulation masses are products made of the best raw materials supplied exclusively from reputable manufacturers. As a manufacturer of paints and thermal insulation masses, we guarantee that at every production stage, we make every effort to ensure that our product is of the highest quality and repeatability.

Both groups of products operate on the same principles – by limiting thermal conductivity and reflecting radiation.

GoTherm® products are based on raw materials from leading Polish manufacturers – we provide a 5-year warranty for the stability of properties.

AT Termo® is made of raw materials from the best European and American manufacturers – we provide a 10-year guarantee for the stability of properties.
