Year-Round Thermal Barrier

Ceramic InsulCoat Wall and Roof provide needed thermal barrier protection

for all building systems. 

This will reduce the energy needed to heat and cool a building, thus cutting utility costs.

 

How is this achieved?  Let us show you.


The Comfort Zone

Ceramic InsulCoat Wall and Roof provides 3-Way Thermal Action:

 

1. Reflects - Bounce sunlight back out to space

2. Emits - Release absorbed energy and radiate it back to space

3. Resists - Conductivity of heat through the wall or roof system


You stay WARMER in WINTER and COOLER in SUMMER

Realized Energy Savings = Lower Utility Bills


Ceramics

The Power of Ceramics -

 

A human hand holds a ceramic cube with a core temperature of approximately 2,200 degrees F,

just seconds after being removed from an artisan's kiln.

 

 

The distance from intense heat to human skin is mils of thickness.

 

High Tech Ceramics = Phenomenal Thermal Properties

 

Ceramic InsulCoat is formulated with the 23 - high performance ingredients of Cerylium.  These include hollow-core ceramic microspheres, strands, irregular particulate, and enriched with titanium dioxide.

 

The Cerylium formulation of Ceramic InsulCoat Wall and Roof:

  • Reduces heat load on building systems,
  • Enhances existing insulation,
  • Reduces the amount of energy needed to heat and cool the building,
  • Cuts energy costs

 


Three-Way Action

Let's look into these pictures a little more as they demonstrate the manner in which Ceramic InsulCoat functions as a Thermal Barrier:

 

Ceramic InsulCoat Wall and Roof provides 3-Way Thermal Action:

 

1. Reflectivity - Bounce sunlight back out to space

2. Emittance - Release absorbed energy and radiate it back to space

3. Resistance - Conductivity of heat through the wall or roof system

 

The first two numbered components of 3-Way Thermal Action,

 

1. Reflectivity and

2. Emittance,

 

are parameters that can be measured.  In fact, they are the key components when discussing "Cool Roofs."  They are represented in the diagrams above as the arrows. 

 

In the diagram with the ceramic cube, they are shown bouncing off the substrate as red arrows (heat) and blue arrows (cold).

 

In the diagram with the house, they are shown as blue arrows (cold winter) and yellow arrows (hot summer).

 

The Cool Roof Rating Council (CRRC) and EPA Energy Star® Qualified Roof Products use Reflectivity and Emittance ratings when discussing "Cool Roofs."  Ceramic InsulCoat Roof has been tested (Initial and after 3-Years) and rated by both organizations.

 

We cover the testing and ratings in depth here:

 

 

Let's discuss Resistance:

 

The third numbered component of 3-Way Thermal Action,

 

3. Resistance

 

is not as easily measured or explained.

 

In the diagram with the ceramic cube, the red (heat) and blue (cold) arrows bounce off both sides but only penetrate a short way into the substrate.  If they were able to transfer through the substrate, you would expect the red (heat) on top to move all the way through the bottom and then bleed out as red rays below (and vice-versa with the blue rays).   

 

This demonstrates resistance to heat and cold transfer through the substrate. 

 

In the diagram with the house, you will notice a barrier around the roof portion and each vertical wall portion.  You will also see that the heater radiates heat back into the house and not out to the atmosphere.  The same is true with the fan on the right side as it keeps the house cool but does not escape out to the atmosphere.

 

This demonstrates resistance to heat and cold transfer through the substrate from the outside into the building and from the inside out to the atmosphere.

 

So, where does the Thermal Resistance come from?

 

The ceramics in the Cerylium formula create the ability to resist heat and cold transfer through a substrate.  We demonstrate this in real-world applications:

 

 

Resistance to transfer of Heat and Cold through a substrate sets EnviroCoatings Ceramic InsulCoat apart from the competition.

 

Our 3-Way Thermal Barrier Action is a huge competitive advantage that you will experience every day when applied on

 your real estate investments.


Works In All Climates

The thermal barrier performs year-round, in all conditions and performs just as well in desert climates, as it will in polar climates, as it will in tropical climates.

 

This means Ceramic InsulCoat will perform

at -40°F in the Northwest Territories of Canada in January,

and it will perform at +115°F in Phoenix, Arizona in August.

Summer: Cool Zones

Ceramic InsulCoat Wall and Roof promote "Cool Zones" in the heat of summer, so entire buildings can contribute towards lowering environmental temperatures.

 

This assists in reducing the effects of Urban Heat Islands.

 

The U.S. Green Building Council incorporates "Cool Zones" into the calculations of their Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System.


Winter: Beyond Cool Roofs

Ceramic InsulCoat Roof provides a Year-Round Thermal Barrier.  What about Cool Roof products and their ability to perform year-round?

 

According to the Cool Roof Rating Council (CRRC):

 

"In most climate zones worldwide, cool roofs can significantly reduce a building's cooling load.  However, cool roofs can also increase heating costs in winter months..."

 

Why is this?

 

Because conventional roof paints and coatings are not made with Cerylium and lack ceramics in their composition.  Consequently, they allow heat to escape through a building envelope and out into the atmosphere in winter.  Any savings realized on cooling costs in the summer may be lost by increased heating costs in the winter. 

 

It only makes sense to use Ceramic InsulCoat Roof with Cerylium and receive year-round thermal benefits and year-round energy savings.

Improve Financial Performance

Reduce the energy needed to heat or cool your building, and you lower your utility bills.  Plain and simple.

 

Ceramic InsulCoat improves financial performance month after month - as every dollar saved in energy costs goes directly to the bottom line.

 

Our life-cycle cost benefits are unsurpassed.  This is another competitive advantage to consider when selecting Ceramic InsulCoat for your real estate investments.
