amazing insulation performance of Aero-Therm.
As the heat is reflected back into the room, the
occupants feel a higher level of thermal comfort,
allowing the heating thermostat to be turned down
by as much as 2 or 3 degrees, saving further
energy.

Aero-Therm - The energy savings add up
Space Age Technology Explained
Actual energy savings achieved vary according to whether Aero-Therm is applied to all walls, ceilings and floors and
the level of thermal performance of the building itself prior to application. Aero-Therm provides the greatest energy
savings for buildings which are uninsulated, poorly insulated or have solid walls.
Aero-Therm is made from Aerogel, which is the world’s
most effective insulant originally developed by NASA for
the space programme, combined with hollow glass
microspheres with diameters of 10-300 microns.
Aerogel provides exceptional insulation through its
honeycomb structure and the microspheres act as
mirrors reflecting the heat back into the room.
Surfaces coated with Aero-Therm are able to absorb, retain and reflect heat quickly, effectively and efficiently.
Official test results over the six month period ending April 2014 confirm that with Aero-Therm :

:KHUHWKHKHDWLQJLVOHIWRQFRQVWDQWO\DHQHUJ\VDYLQJLVDFKLHYHG
Aero-Therm is very light and compact providing savings
for transportation and storage when compared to
traditional insulation. 1 litre weighs only 0.4kg and covers
1m2 when applied at its optimum performance thickness
of 1mm.
These results demonstrate that Aero-Therm allows you to programme your heating system to switch on later (to
achieve a required heat by a certain time) and switch off sooner (as heat is retained for longer).
Another important factor is the temperature of the wall, floor and ceiling. These surfaces are typically cold and even
if the air temperature is adequate, they absorb heat from the room making you feel cold. Typically occupants will
increase the heating thermostat temperature to address this, with each degree Celsius of adjustment being the
equivalent to 6% of energy consumption. After applying Aero-Therm, surfaces will feel warm and reflect heat back
into the room. As a consequence, it is possible to reduce the heating thermostat setting by 2-3oC, achieving direct
savings of 12-18%, whilst achieving the same level of thermal comfort.
Aero-Therm is an ideal complementary product to the latest heating and zone control systems available on the
market today. The combination of all of the benefits results in energy savings of over 30% in typical properties.

How to eliminate existing mould
Prior to applying Aero-Therm it is important to ensure that any existing surface mould is eliminated. We supply two
Active Silver based products to treat and provide long term protection against mould and fungal growth in areas
prone to condensation formation. Many anti mould products available on the market today are chlorine based and
are effective in eliminating mould but they do not provide a long term solution by preventing future growth, in the
same way as Active Silver based products do.
Asanex
Asanex is an antibacterial, anti fungal spray that
contains chlorine and Active Silver. It is supplied in
POVSUD\ERWWOHVZLWKHDFKERWWOHSURYLGLQJD
FRYHUDJHDUHDRIPt7KLVSURGXFWLVXVHGIRUWKH
elimination of small areas of surface mould, such as
corners of a room. Once the mould is eliminated, the
Active Silver creates an ongoing preventative effect.
Penetrace Primer
Ansilver
Where Aero-Therm is to be applied to a porous
surface (e.g. plaster, plasterboard or concrete), the
application of our specialist primer is
recommended to provide a surface for the
Aero-Therm to bond to. The primer should be
applied after any mould or fungal growth is
eliminated (see previous page). The primer takes
1-6 hours to dry depending on the substrate’s rate
of absorption. 1 litre typically covers 7 - 10 m2.
We recommend the use of Penetrace Primer as it
designed to dry at the same rate as Aero-Therm
itself.
Ansilver is a water-soluble powder containing Active
Silver. This product is used on larger areas and
eliminates severe in-depth mould growth. Ansilver
provides an ongoing long term mould prevention
solution. If the wall becomes damp, Ansilver is
activated and eliminates the growth of mould.
Ansilver comes in 2 different sizes

R.O.I. (Return on Investment)
Aero-Therm is particularly well suited to improving the thermal performance of the existing housing stock within
the UK. Virtually every home has cold spots around the windows and vertical/horizontal corners of external
walls. North facing rooms tend to be cold even when they are insulated. Aero-Therm is an excellent product to
combat these issues.
Aero-Therm increases thermal comfort and creates a more pleasant living environment.
Aero-Therm can save energy in any property and should not just be limited to solid wall properties – it can save
further energy in all properties.
Government targets to reduce CO2 emissions
As part of the Government’s commitment to reduce CO2 emissions by 80% by 2050, a number of initiatives and
papers have been written. The UK Department of Energy and Climate Change published a report “Estimates of
Home Insulation Levels in Great Britain: July 2013”, which shows thatä

Given the difficulties with installing internal or external wall insulation, it is likely that the government will make
little inroads in increasing the thermal performance of the UK’s existing housing stock – unless it prescribes the
use of Aero-Therm! By 2030, the government is seeking to increase the number of solid wall insulation
properties to over 5 million from the current 0.2 million.
We would question how this will be achieved, as many people will not approve internal or external insulation
which changes the appearance of their properties.

Aero-Therm beats other solutions hands down
It is simple to apply with minimal disruption and no loss of internal room space.
Internal Wall Insulation (IWI)
External Wall Insulation (EWI)
Fitting internal boarding material, re-plastering and
redecorating is expensive, especially when considering the
disruption to electrics, radiators, architraves, skirting
boards, window frames and door surrounds. IWI also
reduces the room size by 100mm on each wall where it is
applied which inevitably reduces the value of a property.
The process is intrusive and typically requires re-housing of
the occupants for the period of the fit out. In addition,
internal insulation boarding has the risk of trapping
moisture and condensation which can lead to mould growth.
Fitting EWI requires an external finish. It is costly, complex
and involves scaffolding and expensive cladding materials.
It alters the external appearance of the property, thus in
many cases this is simply not an option. Other issues
include –

The UK Government have set a target to reduce CO²
emissions by 80% by 2050. This will inevitably result in
pressure on businesses to reduce their energy consumption.
The Carbon Trust publish advice and guidelines to help
businesses reduce their energy consumption. They state
that “a 20% cut in energy costs represents the same bottom

Heating typically accounts for about half of the energy used in offices and forms a significant
proportion of energy use in other areas of a business. It is a key area to target with energy saving
measures. Many businesses are overheated which can cause discomfort and wastes money.
The Carbon Trust have highlighted a number of areas that businesses need to consider –

Wherever a dangerously hot surface is exposed such that it
could cause burns to people, Aero-Therm can be applied to
the surface to reflect the heat back against the hot surface.
This makes the exterior cooler to touch, providing an
important safety measure.
Aero-Therm can also be used to protect against cold plant by
reflecting human heat back against itself rather than being
directly exposed to the cold surface.

Application techniques
Q&A
Aero-Therm’s optimal application thickness is 1.0mm.
It can be applied in a number of ways -
What preparation is needed to the surface?
A clean surface is required to apply Aero-Therm. If mould is present, this must be removed – this can be achieved with the use of
Asanex and Ansilver products. If your surface is porous we would recommend the pre-application of our Primer.
Notched trowel application
Aero-Therm can be diluted with water at a ratio of 5:1
and be applied with a 6mm notched trowel to achieve a
uniformal coat, then finished with a flat float which
achieves the desired 1.0mm final coating.
Would more than 1mm of Aero-Therm improve the performance of Aero-Therm?
No, the recommended thickness is 1.0mm. Anything above this provides no additional thermal benefit.
Can Aero-Therm be used with underfloor heating systems?
Yes, as long as it is applied under the heating element.
Paint roller application
Aero-Therm can be applied with a standard foam rubber
paint roller. This method is faster to apply, but will always
leave a slight textured appearance.
Can I use Aero-Therm in my bathroom?
Yes. If you have a tile finish, Aero-Therm should be applied under the tiles. As Aero-Therm eliminates temperature differentials
between a wall surface and the air next to the wall, it eliminates the conditions where condensation and subsequent mould growth can
occur. This should not however be a substitute for keeping the bathroom environment well ventilated.
Low pressure spraying
Aero-Therm can be applied with a high volume low
pressure (HVLP) spraying machine by suitably
experienced operators. This method is ideal for
large-scale coverage on industrial buildings.
Aero-Therm cannot be applied to walls that are at risk of
rising damp.
In places where there is direct contact between
Aero-Therm and water, it is necessary to protect the
coating. Where hot water could come into contact with
the product, it is necessary to protect the Aero-Therm
surface with a polymer-based waterproof coat. Further
details on these products are available on request.
Detailed Application Instructions are available from our
website.
Where can I buy Aero-Therm?
You can buy Aero-Therm from either the shopping portal on our website or by calling our sales office on 01924 848020.
What is the lead time?
If we have sufficient levels of stock then delivery will be within 48 hours, otherwise delivery will be direct from our manufacturer which
may take up to 14 days.
Can I become a distributor or sales agent for Aero-Therm?
Please call our sales office to discuss the opportunity of being a distributor or sales agent.
Can you provide training on application of Aero-Therm?
Training can be provided at your site (fee to be negotiated separately). Advice is provided free of charge from our sales office. Demonstrations can also be facilitated at our warehouse in Wakefield. Please call for details.
Do you have details of registered or approved installers?
Yes we do. We are building our registered installer base all the time, please call for details.
Can I become a registered installer for Aero-Therm layer?
Yes, please call our sales office for further details.

David Carmichael, Suffolk.
I needed to find a way of insulating the front aspect internal walls of my 1890’s Victorian Terrace House. Installing any
form of dry-lining or cladding, to either the outside or inside was out of the question due to period features. I needed a
product that was effective but also unobtrusive.
I discovered Aero-Therm and was directed to the company’s website. After reading the very comprehensive information
pages I decided Aero-Therm was the ideal product for my needs. I ordered a 12 litre tub which was delivered within 2
days.
Application was carried out by a plasterer. With a little practice an excellent finish was obtained. Full instructions are on
the container and are well worth following. As soon as the Aero-Therm was dry an immediate effect could be felt. It was
warm to touch, a vast difference to adjacent untreated walls. However, the most appreciated effect was how noticeably
warm the room was in the morning, when no heating had been on since late the previous evening.
I would thoroughly recommend Aero-Therm insulation and I intend to apply it to all the other walls in my home.

We own an old farmhouse which we have fully renovated. The walls are solid stone and we have rendered these internally
but experienced cold walls and heavy condensation, especially around the windows. In looking for a solution we came
across Aero-Therm and have initially trialled this around the windows. The results were immediately apparent in that the
walls were much warmer to touch. We have now been through the winter and I am delighted to say that the condensation
was eliminated, and we are now going to apply Aero-Therm to the rest of the rooms as and when we decorate those
rooms.
