Indoors or outdoors, Insuladd® insulating paint products have proven under scrutiny to increase the energy efficiency of homes and businesses constructed of concrete. You can see through test results in the graph below, Insuladd® makes a difference when mixed with paint applied to concrete. It drives down temperatures inside a concrete building during the summer months. The difference in temperature between concrete buildings without Insuladd® and those treated with our paint additive can sometimes vary by up to 15 degrees Fahrenheit. Insuladd® makes the environment in your home or office more comfortable and saves you money on utility bills!
