A growing number of homeowners are tackling the big problems of energy efficiency and mold resistance by thinking small.
Nanotechnology-the manipulation of matter at the molecular level at the scale of a nanometer, or a billionth of a meter in size-has recently come into play in the insulation arena. A material called Hydro-NM-Oxide has been shown to be highly effective at insulating against all three types of thermal transfer: solid conductivity, gaseous conductivity and radiative (infrared) transmission.
According to the Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies, Hydro-NM-Oxide has nearly twice the R-Value-meaning twice the insulating quality-of polyurethane foam. And it’s been incorporated into a new line of coatings for the home.
Nansulate HomeProtect Interior is a paintable, mold-resis-tant coating that can be applied to interior walls, ceilings, attics and floorboards to give added insulation benefits, and protects against mold without the use of potentially harmful anti-fungal agents. Nansulate HomeProtect ClearCoat can be applied to exterior and interior surfaces. Suggested home applications include:
• Attics. Increase your...
