Question: What is the "R" value?
Answer: R-values are measured by testing laboratories who use, ASTM (American Society of Testing and Materials) procedures. Existing test procedures require that the sample submitted be 1" thick therefore paints and coatings cannot be tested using established test methods. We just do our egg test to prove how effective the barrier is and let our customers draw his or her own conclusions.

Question: Do ceramics keep from breathing?
Answer: A paint coatings ability to breath is known as "Permeability" which is a measurement of the rate that water or vapor will pass through a membrane. Ceramic filled paints do not restrict a paint coatings ability to "breath.

Question: What colors are available?
Answer: All our ready mixed paints come to you in a bright white, tintable base only. You can have the paints tinted locally to the color of your choosing in pastel and mid range colors. Our paints will accept all universal tints and this way you can see the exact color you are getting and make any necessary adjustments.

Question: How much paint do I need?
Answer: You can figure that the average spread rate is 300 sq. ft per U.S. gallon over a fairly smooth surface. If you are painting over popcorn ceilings or rough Spanish style stucco, DOUBLE the amount of paint. Your actual spread rate will vary depending on the surface irregularities, porosity and material loss when mixing.

Question: Do Insulating paints work in the summer & winter months?
Answer: Yes! Heat outside is blocked from transfer to cool walls inside in the summer. The heat inside your home is blocked from escape toward the cold outside air in winter.  A paint film of Therma-Guard reflective ceramics will help slow this heat transfer in both directions to lower your cooling and heating bills.

Question: What kind of paint can be used over the thermal paint?
Answer: Choose either the flat or the latex, whichever fits your needs. The insulating characteristics of your Therma-Guard ceramics are unchanged.

Question: Can I paint my attic with Insulating Paint?
Answer: Absolutely! By restricting the amount of heat allowed into your attic you reduce the load on your existing insulation making it more effective.

Question: Can we guarantee your utility bills will be cut by 30%, 40% or even 50%?
Answer: Of course not and anyone that tells you they can is not telling the truth. The results depend on how many areas of your home you apply the various products to, other considerations include, amount of attic ventilation, amount of air infiltration into your home, type of roofing materials, and on and on. We can guarantee you that for the 20-30 cents per sq ft it costs for 2 coat Therma-Guard Insulating Paint you will not find a better solution to your high utility bills for that price.

Question: Can it be used on roof decking under conventional roofing materials?
Answer: Yes- A barrier coat is not needed in this case since the objective is just to block conductive heat transfer from the roof to the attic space. Just use a double coat of Therma-Guard White Ceramic paint.
