Q-THERM works on a different basis than better known heat insulating materials – polystyrene or mineral fibre. Its development is a result of a request for insulating heat which is transmitted by emission. It is stated that by emission up to 90 percent of heat is supplied in summer and up to 50 – 70 percent of energy is supplied this way in winter. The result of these facts is that insulation which keeps the heat inside a room during winter, will save considerable financial amount on heating. It results that for this purpose backfilling  heat insulation Q-THERM, reflecting thermal radiation back to a room and decreasing level of its absorbency into walling has been developed. In reality when 1 mm thick layer of backfilling Q-THERM on inside surface of walling is applied will not allow heating dissipation into the outer side of the wall. This causes fast increase of temperature in a room. During summer months walls treated this way will slow down overheating of  the space due to heated structure.

Q-THERM is an ideal material for inner heat insulation of walls in construction, mainly of panel buildings, thermal bridges, parts of walls behind heating elements, where due to condensation, mould can appear and for all properties which are inadequately heat insulated and where it is required to increase the temperature in a room by increasing the temperature of walling and where savings on energy is required in combination with controlled thermoregulation of heating systems. Tests which have been carried out but more importantly the experiences of users proved that in relation to the type of properties and to the heating system it is possible to save 25% or more on heating expenses.

Q-THERM is possible to apply on interior surfaces, such as lime cement plaster, concrete, plaster, plasterboard, prefabricated panel, wood and its by product, metal surfaces, glass and many others and everywhere where it is necessary to achieve insulation and it is not possible or suitable to use other materials and application procedure ( for example properties with valuable facade, where it is not possible to implement outer sheeting by insulating materials ).

Q-THERM is also suitable as an inner heat insulation into industrial tempered halls and as an insulation of hot or cold piping, it is well used as a heat insulation in places which are not regularly heated such as cottages, holiday homes, cabins, garages and other similar areas, where it is necessary to increase temperature very fast and at the same time to prevent the impression of cold walls with condensation.

Q-THERM offers more effective system of heating and energy saving mainly in periodically or short term heated places such as cottages, cabins, offices, catering ( here lower predisposition to unwanted changes in coloured surface due to nicotine is appreciated ), hotels, hospitals and also flats where during absence of people or due to non use of the space, it is  possible to considerably lower the temperature but also in very short time to increase this temperature without any risks of heating the walls first and then stabilising the room temperature. Hot head and cold feet and that is while the heating is turned to the maximum. Who does not know this common feeling during winter months.

Q-THERM ensures an even distribution of heat in a room.

Q-THERM is excellent material for achieving an anti-condensation effect. Occurrence of cold areas on inner walling mainly in corners can cause condensation of room dampness and subsequent occurrence of mould. The idea behind using Q-THERM is to distinctively decrease dispositions for creating condensation with the existence of microscopical air spaces in painted surfaces and this way decrease the possibility of mould occurrence. This characteristic allows Q-THERM to be used in all areas with high humidity and insufficient ventilation: in bathrooms, kitchens, in factories processing food act. One of the advantages is the fact that the walls are warm to touch, perfect permeability of applied material, improvement of acoustic.

Q-THERM  is supplied in white colour possible to tone with water diluting colours. The surface of the coating is possible to grind or paint after setting. The coating does not smell, it is not deleterious and during setting is does not transpire any chemical substances. The final coating is permeable, washable and it improves the acoustic of a room. The value of diffused resistance for water vapour admittance (µ =30) is only slightly higher than with ordinary lime-cast coat. Where applying coat from interior thermal bridges are broken and it prevents condensation of water vapour on walling, whereby it prevents growth of fungus and it sustains anti-allergic environment.

Q-THERM is applied to firm, dry and clean surface. When using on the existing coating the surface must be degreased and treated with penetration coating. Should there be more than one coat on the surface it must be removed. Uneven surfaces and cracks need to be smoothed by a spattle. Prior to application to a non-absorbent base connecting bridge must be created.

Q-THERM is applied to prepared surfaces with a spattle, by spraying or by coating. According to the type of coating Q-THERM is diluted in given proportions. Caution is necessary when stirring the substance, it is stirred with a slow speed in order not to damage the structure of used filler. When applying whit a spray-gun the pressure is to be on a value of 5 bar (atm.) – the value of a manometer. Higher value could damage the structure of used filler and cause a loss of stated characteristics.
