not sure mate , my son sent me the link have not had time to have a proper look yet, but ithink it's the complete bundle , backing finish and paint , thought one of you lad's might off told me ;D
 
Looks very interesting Warrior, I'm going to give them a buzz on Monday to get all the spec sent out to me. As I think you hinted a couple of weeks ago energy saving materials are probably the way forward.
 
the world is insulating mad youre not wrong ..........well be getting nuclear protected plaster soon once south korea are up to the boil :-\
 
Well I phoned them on Monday and couldn't really get a lot of info out of the person I spoke to. I asked about application and all they would say is you apply it the same as any other plaster, when I said that different plasters are applied in different ways and finished with different methods they couldn't offer any further help but they said they would email more information which they haven't ???
 
interesting.... however.... me being the ultimate sceptic etc..
garage conversion say, needs someting like a 0.35 w/m2k u value which equates to around 50mm of cellotex..
now, the 'k' value of 'cellotex in general, never mind the thickness' is something like 0.02, you need 50mm of cellotex to acheive a 'u value' of 0.35.... see where this is going?
this stuff gives a figure of 0.07 w/mk - no 'm2' which lets me belive its the 'k' value, not the 'u value' which would mean youd need 150mm of this stuff to match cellotex... either that or its a job for trading standards.. ;)
i could be wrong, and its a nice marketing strategy, but it aint gonna solve the worlds emmision problems so unless its price is comparable to other more established products its only gonna be used in the most demanding of specs...
beware the salesman my son.... (or the way things are written, theyre misleading)

(figures used are approximate, please dont go splitting hairs, theyre near enough...)
 
all that said, as spunky mentioned, warriors on the right track..
anyone that can keep up with the building control (kyoto agreement) spec without using 2 or 3 inch thick slabs of 'ozone layer depleting (in its manufacture)', 'non bio-degradable' insulation is onto a winner...
i personally think its gonna go the way of space blanket or even 'paint on, heat refective coatings' with a bonding agent of some sort...
anyone?
