Ultra-thin liquid thermal insulation RE-THERM, what it is, places of application, thermal insulation properties
Thermal insulation RE-THERM is a relatively new material. The principle of operation of liquid ceramic material has nothing to do with the principle of action of materials of previous generations, its efficiency becomes noticeable even when applying the thinnest layer.

What is liquid thermal insulation?
In appearance and consistency, RE-THERM resembles paint, it can be applied in the usual ways: with a brush, spray gun, roller, the painted surfaces can be of any shape and can be made of any material. Liquid thermal insulation for facades includes silicone and acrylic, which give it not only heat-saving, but also waterproofing properties.
Coating with a liquid heat insulating substance gives the materials resistance to UV rays, temperature extremes and high humidity.
The effect of the insulating material becomes noticeable when applying a layer with a thickness of only 1 mm, and the effectiveness of such a layer will be equal to five centimeter layer of mineral wool. It is not required to protect liquid thermal insulation from the effects of atmospheric phenomena; the temperature range at which it can work effectively from -40 to +250 degrees.
Even with prolonged use, the re-therm thermal insulation layer does not become a haven for various bacteria or fungi, it is not prone to changing its internal structure.
Characteristics of superthin liquid thermal insulation
lack of shrinkage
If the building material does not have the ability to maintain the desired thickness during use, then after a certain period of time its insulating qualities will cease to exist. Re-therm liquid thermal insulation is endowed with a high degree of flexibility. The basis of this material is created from polymers that can retain their original properties over a long period of time, that is, remain without shrinkage.
environmental friendliness
Any material, whether it is building or not, must first of all be harmless to health. All materials manufactured by re-therm have passed the necessary tests and received guarantee certificates of quality. The company's products are manufactured according to all approved international quality standards.
vapor impermeability and water resistance
The insulation should be endowed with qualities that will contribute to the repulsion of water, i.e. water resistance. If the insulation will absorb moisture, its qualities will noticeably decrease. Vapor permeability is the ability of a material to pass the steam generated in a building into the street. It is worth noting the fact that the vapor permeability of the material from which the walls are erected should not differ from the vapor permeability of the insulation. The material described by us has excellent water resistance and vapor permeability, corresponding to sanitary and hygienic requirements.
Positive qualities of a heater
- Thermal insulation re-therm is a building material that passes steam well, in other words, does not allow moisture to accumulate in the room, but displays it on the street with toxins.
- Excellent thermal insulation properties protect the room from the penetration of natural precipitation into it, and therefore from the accumulation of moisture inside.
- Duration of operation - the service life of finishing materials should be no less than the operational period of the building. The re-therm thermal insulation coating will last at least 15 years.
- By durability, this thermal insulation is reliable and not susceptible to external influences.
- This coating does not need additional protection by facing, like other similar materials, re-therm is a high-quality material that can easily tolerate changes and fluctuations in temperature, humidity, and also the effect of ultraviolet radiation.
Liquid superthin thermal insulation - we warm window slopes
For high-quality and effective insulation, a layer of 1 - 1.5 mm will be enough. Re-therm insulation is very beneficial to use for insulating window slopes. Everyone knows the fact that a large amount of heat is lost through window openings, almost 20%. If the layer of liquid insulation is absent, moisture accumulates in the corners of the slopes and mold and fungi form over time, and microorganisms and bacteria develop. Thermal insulation re-therm perfectly copes with the elimination of such problems and protects against the possibility of such phenomena in the future.
Liquid thermal insulation of interpanel seams
With a detailed study of the seams of a panel house with a special device with a thermal imager, you can consider that these areas pass a fairly large amount of heat. In other words, they need auxiliary insulation protection. In addition to this, the waterproofing layer at the seams is subject to regular repair. Thermal insulation re-therm will help to eliminate both issues, because it includes both thermal and waterproofing components. Using re-therm, residents of a panel house will be able to forget about regular hydraulic repairs for a rather long period of time and reduce the cost of joint insulation.
Thermal insulation with liquid thermal insulation - features
Warming, such as a balcony or loggia, requires a special approach and is considered a difficult task. Warming this part of the room is very important not to reduce the already small, usable area. Having resorted to the usual methods of warming, the valuable area will be significantly reduced. Using re-therm at the same time will give effective insulation, and will not reduce valuable area.
Total:
- re-therm thin insulation can be used year-round. In addition to this, you need to pay attention to the following positive characteristics of re-therm:
- ease of repair and elementary renewal of the layer after repair;
- admissibility of applying the material with one's own hand;
- lack of toxic elements and undesirable compounds;
- not suitable for breeding and living rodents and insects;
- guaranteeing high-quality application even at -20;
- invariability of qualities from -60 to +350;
- does not burden bearing metalwork;
- does not contribute to the theft of usable area;
- short terms for applying an insulating layer;
- the price of the re-therm insulation layer will be equal to the price of the paint.
Thermal insulation of the walls of the room is a rather complicated and laborious work. In order to achieve maximum heat preservation in the apartment, you need to familiarize yourself with all the characteristics of the insulation material, as well as know the rules for its installation. To create comfortable housing conditions, you need to know all the features, differences and the direct technology of performing thermal insulation work. In this aspect, excessive savings, the purchase of low-quality and not expensive building materials, erroneous calculations, laying of the insulating layer by non-professional workers will undoubtedly lead to a lack of comfort in the house and low temperature in the cold season.
