Living comfort: how thermal paints contribute to insulation against heat and cold

The pandemic has contributed to a change in the perception of the living environment. Transforming your home and work space into a new, healthier environment, without sacrificing comfort, is not trivial. In fact, the world of thermal paints is not so simple, and many times, it is difficult to find your way around the thousands of solutions on the market.

So let’s find out what thermal paint is and why it is the choice that is not only good for the home, but is also an investment (given its higher cost compared to normal decorative paints) for saving energy and reducing heating and cooling costs in living spaces.

Thermal paint alone cannot act as thermal insulation. To think that a few millimetres of thickness would be enough to provide adequate thermal insulation is wrong. However, thermal paint plays an important role in contributing to thermal insulation, especially in terms of perception. Not only does it contribute to lowering or raising (depending on the season) the temperature of the surface where there is already thermal insulation, but also and above all in terms of perception. Touching the wall, in fact, one can see that it is closer to the temperature of the internal environment than to the external environment from which the internal environment is to be insulated.
