Insulating House Painting
NJ Homeowners Can Now Save Money on Energy
  Few people realize that adding a fresh coat of paint to the interior or the exterior of their house can now help them to reduce energy consumption, substantially cut their heating and cooling bills and improve the year round comfort in their homes.
All that is now possible thanks to the invention of ceramic insulating house paint.
The technology behind this paint was inspired by the insulating properties of Space Shuttle heat resistant ceramic tiles.
In fact, the company producing the paint became a NASA research partner and was even selected as a NASA Spinoff Company in 2003.
Ceramic material is well known for its insulating and heat dissipating properties. If you cover your hand with a layer of ceramic powder and point a torch flame on it, your hand will not be burned, because ceramic coating will block the transfer of heat and reflect the heat away from the surface.
Insulating paint contains a high percentage of hollow ceramic microspheres which have vaccuum inside, each one the size of a single grain of flour. When the paint dries, the microspheres pack together creating a dense ceramic film that prevents the transfer of hot air into or out of your house.
Without insulating house painting NJ home-
owners overpay for cooling and heating
 It's important to remember that heat energy always flows from a (hot) body at a higher temperature to a (cold) body at a lower temperature, until they both attain the same temperature.
So every time you turn on the furnace in the winter, you are also heating the street, because the hot air is constantly being transfered to the cold side/outside through the walls and ceilings, and that's why your house cools down so fast after you turn the furnace off. Traditional insulating materials in the walls and above the ceiling only resist this process, while insulating paint actually reduces the absorption of heat by the surfaces and reflects the heat back into the room.
The same principle works in the summer - insulating paint does not allow summer sun to heat the exterior surfaces and raise the temperature inside your home.By taking advantage of insulating house painting
NJ homeowners can lower their utility bills
 This paint helps keep the temperature inside your home more stable throughout the year, resulting in significantly reduced utility bills, and less wear and tear to the heating and cooling equipment.
For the best results, it is recommended to paint both the inside and outside of your home, but either application alone will increase your energy savings.
Insulating paint looks a lot like regular house paint, it comes in pastel and mid-range colors, dries to a smooth flat finish and can be used to paint interior and exterior surfaces (drywall, plaster, acoustical tiles, drop in ceiling panels, popcorn ceilings, concrete, stucco, brick, masonry, metal and wood).
But, unlike regular paint, the high ceramic content of insulating paint dramatically increases the durability of any surface it is applied to, making it last much longer and allowing you to repaint less often.
It's easy to see how this special paint can save you money on general house maintenance, as well as on energy bills:- Easy to clean
- Stain and scrub resistant
- Low maintenance
- Hides surface imperfections
- Excellent touch-up
- Mildew resistant
- Fire resistant
- Repells termites
- Waterproof protection
- Breathable
- Blocks ultraviolet rays
- Protects the surface from the elements
- Non-toxic and safe
- Enviromentally friendly
With all the savings and benefits that insulating paint offers, it will literally pay for itself in no time.
Now you can have the best of both worlds - the beauty and protection of a regular paint job, as well as the durability and insulation properties of ceramics, all at the same time, when you choose insulating house painting. NJ homeowners now have a choice - to keep feeding the utility companies, or to do something about it.
So help yourself and help the planet by making your home more energy efficient.
FAQs about insulating house painting
NJ homeowners want to know:
How can such a thin coating insulate a house?
Unlike traditional insulating materials that resist heat transfer (the thicker the better), insulating paint works in a completely different way: it reflects heat away from the surface, and thickness has nothing to do with the paint's performance.
What is the R-value of insulating paint?
R-value can never be assigned to any insulating ceramic paint, because this type of product works on a different scientific level than products with an (R) factor. R-value is used to measure the effectiveness of traditional insulating materials that are meant to resist (R), or slow down, the transfer of heat. Ceramics reflect heat, so thinking about insulating paint in terms of R-value is like trying to compare apples to oranges.
Can insulating paint replace traditional insulating materials?
When trying to make a home more energy efficient, it's important to adopt a whole-house approach. Traditional insulating materials have their place and play an important role in insulating your house. Ceramic paints are just an easy way to upgrade your home's insulation without opening up the walls. They add one more layer of insulation and offer a different way of saving energy around the house, complementing any traditional methods already used in your home.
How much can I save on energy with insulating paint?
Every home and every situation is different, and the amount of savings will depend on many factors, such as what/how many areas of your home you apply the paint to, type of construction, building materials, and so on.
