A fantastic product called Thermilate can help to save energy, money and the environment. And it is realy easy to use, going in both internal and external paints.

Its a product that anyone can use. Just mix into your paint and apply to the walls and ceilings turning the painted surface into a thermal barrier meaning you can save money on your energy bill, a saving of up to 25%, which means that you are doing your bit to help the environment.

There is a great offer on at the moment of 3for2.

Hi Hannah, welcome to the forum I hope you will enjoy it here!

I just received an email from a friend visiting the US that home isolation is not done very widely in the US.

Is that so?

I would, err... am questioning this products claim. The R value, or resistance to thermal transfer available at this time is closed cell polyurethane foam. This foam has an aged R value of R-6 per inch. I don't think anything just a few mils thick would be able to provide a significant if any resistance to thermal transfer unless there was some sort of cellular structure. A savings of up to 25% is just a rediculous claim. Don't waste your money, even if it's 3 for 2. Take the money and put some new weather stripping around your doors, crawl space, and attic access, it will be money much better spent.

Thank you, Jmirage That was sound advise.
