See #199, repeated below
The product comes with a 15 year manufacturer's warranty which states that the product will continue to reflect energy for 15 years. The product was only invented in 2009, so no-0ne has had it on their walls for 15+ years yet. However, www.synpo.cz have produced a report...

You raise a good question. AeroTherm reflects radiant energy back into a room. It is not effective in reflecting the Sun back out of a room, back through the walls. To use reflective technology to do that, you would need to coat the outside of a property. AeroTherm are developing a product...
The differences between this paint product and AeroTherm are -
AeroTherm's testing has showed that to refract and then reflect radiant energy wavelengths, the minimum thickness required is 0.8mm. The paints with glass microspheres are clearly less than 0.8mm, but we cannot comment on the...
To clarify, the U value of 0.25 is the U value of the test property walls (see photo in #202). They were built to standard Czech construction requirements. AeroTherm was then added to one of these properties (improving thermal performance) and not to the other. The point I am making here is...
This is an interesting and useful article http://www.hse.gov.uk/temperature/thermal/factors.htm
It shows that you cannot just measure thermal comfort by air temperature. You need to consider other factors, including radiant temperature - which is where AeroTherm comes in - it improves...
AeroTherm works by reflecting radiant energy back into the room. So the more radiant energy in the room, the warmer the room will be. Radiant energy comes from people, light bulbs, the sun coming through the window, underfloor heating (more than radiators), heating stoves, cookers etc...

Our research suggests that EWI systems cost £90/m2+. The end price for AeroTherm very much depends upon the intallers cost and margin. We have installers who have sold this on for as little as £35/m2, so when we say £45/m2 + we are trying to make this attractive to the installers!
As per comments on #190, AeroTherm are working with various bodies to achieve an energy rating accepted in the UK for SAP. This will give it the ability to count towards an insulation upgrade for buildings regulations. At the moment we don't have this, but are confident we are going in the...
If a walls suffers from water ingress (e.g. leaking roof creating wet walls) then the AeroTherm is at risk of falling off the wall. I believe this is the case with plaster - but you will all know better than me! AeroTherm cannot fix a wet wall - the source of the problem needs to be fixed...
Thanks for your questions. To respond -
The product is currently going through a process to be incorporated within the SAP database that underpins the EPC certificates. The BRE have reviewed the product certification that the product has from Europe and have confirmed that nothing further is...
AeroTherm can be used on walls and ceilings. The best financial return and impact will be from coating external walls as these are the coldest. If your ceilings are insulated above, then you may decide not to apply to ceilings. This is a good solution for sloping ceilings that don't have...
AeroTherm contains tiny glass microspheres. They are designed to reflect radiant energy at certain wavelengths. They first absorb energy (warm up), and because they have a low thermal capacity (ability to retain heat), they reflect it back. Think of it as a combination of a heat absorbent...
We have a number of other dealers for the product, targeting different market sectors and in different parts of the UK. The selling prices are consistent across the board, so I'd recommend working with your local dealer - they can train you and provide you with support and leads etc...
When AeroTherm is applied to a wall, you instantly turn a cold wall into a warm wall. Yes, it suddenly feels warm to touch. This is because it is absorbing radiant energy and then reflecting it back into the room. When you touch it, it absorbs the warmth/ energy from your hand and reflects it...
Thanks for the post & your interest in AeroTherm. Official co-heating tests have proven that the product can save up to 35% energy in a property. This is a similar energy saving to your traditional IWI/EWI systems. The training courses provide you with a background to the product, how it...
