Enjoy the advantages of painting with insulating paint
Adding insulation to an existing home can be difficult. There are not very many options available unless you already are planning to remove your drywall or plaster. With the walls open all you would need to do is put it in place. Blow in insulation may work for people that do not intend to open their walls up. Holes would need to be cut in your home’s exterior to allow the spray equipment to blow in the insulation. Doing it this way will never give you total coverage. There are many things inside your wall that can make it difficult to add insulation.
Another option you have to improve your home’s insulation is insulating paint. There are several different kinds of insulating paint available these days. They all work by either mixing an additive with your existing paint or putting layers of thermal paint on your interior walls. Applying multiple coats will give you the best results. While any paint will have insulating properties, insulating paint will give you much better results.
Insulting paint will work by preventing the transfer of heat or cold through your walls. There are tiny ceramic beads that create this special vacuum surface. While there are many products out there that claim to be developed by NASA that claim is true when it is made about insulating paint. Insulating ceramic paints were first created at the Ames Research Center which is part of NASA.
There is still some conflict about the true value of using insulating paint. Different producers of insulating paint will give you different claims about its effectiveness. There are some insulting paint makers that say that insulation claims can be made only for materials greater in thickness than one inch. While insulting paint is not a real substitute for a high R value insulation product it is easy to apply to an existing home and can give you some assistance.
