We did do 3 coats in the main area, with 2 coats for the loft and mechanical room. Both look good. <br /><br />Now that ECOS is manufacturing in the US, they can give you American measures as well, which will make it easier for you to compare. Their US website is: http://www.ecospaints.net/<br /><br />LisaCONCORD GREEN — lisatharp.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08717860361545772157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8160886364020722934.post-47465518370471199092010-08-21T15:51:00.248-04:002010-08-21T15:51:00.248-04:00This is good to know because my husband is going t...This is good to know because my husband is going to re-paint our entire house, roof included, this weekend. He bought different kinds of paint from <a href="http://www.add4green.com" rel="nofollow">add4green</a> saying that each kind has different insulation and reflective properties. He also said that using such paints will reduce our heating and cooling cost. I just hope that it works.Abbey Taylornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8160886364020722934.post-35029844013085047322010-08-05T16:02:53.208-04:002010-08-05T16:02:53.208-04:00Hello Bob.

Hi Chris
There are a number of t...@ Chris Cool Dude<br />Hi Chris<br />There are a number of technologies used in insulating paints. Ceramics are common and very effective, particularly in external applications where heat reflection is most important.<br />We (ECOS Paints) find glass to be better than ceramic for interior applications where heat conduction and radiation are more of a problem, so that's what we use in our insulating paint (http://www.ecospaints.net/store/organic-insulating-paint-usa/prod_52.html).<br />Having said that, no surface finish is going to be as effecting as a foam (or other air-gap technology) coating. In an industrial setting, or a basement or roof space, there are a number of spray-on and sheet type solutions that are very efficient but, unfortunately, not particularly attractive. Some are also not very environmentally safe (or human safe!) so careful selection is required for these.<br />I'm happy to talk through options for you particular application, if that would help. My contact details are on our website: www.ecospaints.net<br /><br />@Lisa<br />Thanks again for testing our products and we are very proud to have been involved in your project at Concord Green.<br />Keep up the great work!Bob Emptagehttp://www.ecospaints.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8160886364020722934.post-69099159300425069432010-08-05T04:07:49.666-04:002010-08-05T04:07:49.666-04:00Speaking of insulation paints.

I moved to priming walls ( from painting floors) and have been using "Rust -Oleum Bulls Eye Zero VOC Primer". I've been disappointed in the product but it's one of the few available low VOC products way out on the Cape so I bought several gallons and have worked with it.<br /><br />I look forward to hearing about your experiences with ECOS. <br /><br />Good lucks and thanks again.Tomnoreply@blogger.com
