Thermal insulation

Greater thermal comfort and protection for your building

Thermal insulation to improve comfort and energy efficiency

Choosing thermal insulation can prevent roofs and façades from overheating in summer. It is also a perfect system for preventing heat loss during winter and condensation on certain surfaces.

At Magnovent, we offer thermal insulator solutions using liquid ceramic coatings. Our products can be applied to roofs, walls and other surfaces. Their purpose is to improve thermal performance while protecting surfaces against environmental conditions.

Our thermal insulation can be used both indoors and outdoors. A solution that adapts to different types of buildings, from industrial warehouses and storage facilities to commercial premises and residential buildings.

What is thermal insulation and what is it used for?

Thermal insulation is a material or system designed to reduce heat transfer between surfaces or environments with different temperatures. Its use helps limit heat entering from outside during warmer months and heat loss during colder months.

In industrial and commercial buildings, insulation is particularly important. This is due to the large roof and façade surfaces exposed to outdoor conditions.

Some liquid thermal insulation solutions can be applied directly to existing surfaces as a coating. A perfect alternative to conventional insulation systems that require the installation of panels or other construction elements.

At Magnovent, we use a thermal insulating ceramic coating that can be applied to different surfaces and geometries. An ideal system for both the interior and exterior of buildings.

What problems can thermal insulation help solve?

A building may experience different thermal problems depending on its construction, orientation, activity and climatic conditions. Identifying where heat transfer occurs makes it possible to determine which surfaces should be treated and how to apply thermal insulation.

Thermal insulating paint: discover the innovation

The insulating ceramic paint has been meticulously designed to meet the most demanding standards. Today, this innovative technology is widely distributed as an insulating coating, providing outstanding results in terms of energy efficiency and comfort.

Our thermal ceramic paint constitutes an optimal solution for a wide range of industrial and commercial buildings. Its simple application as paint, either by roller or spray, is carried out without interrupting the daily activities of the building, generating temperature differences of up to 20ºC on the treated surfaces.

Thermal paint can be customized in a variety of colors to suit ceilings and walls with different designs, while its flame retardant nature ensures safety once applied and dried, as it does not spread fire. But its functionality does not stop there; the thermal insulating paint also offers soundproofing properties, reducing noise levels by between 4 and 10 dB.

It has been shown that thermal insulation retains up to 60% more heat during the winter months, while reflecting up to 95% of the sun’s infrared rays.

In addition to its effectiveness in thermal control, this coating contributes significantly to moisture management in roofs and walls of various materials. Its waterproof nature allows it to repel water while permitting vapor to transpire, thus providing anti-condensation protection and maintaining an optimal indoor environment at all times.

Where can thermal insulation be applied?

One of the advantages of liquid ceramic coatings is their ability to adapt to different surfaces, geometries and types of facilities.

  • Industrial roofs: Allows large surfaces directly exposed to solar radiation to be treated and reduces their heating.
  • Facades and walls: Can be used to improve the thermal performance and protection of interior or exterior walls.
  • Industrial warehouses and storage facilities: Particularly interesting in large buildings where the conditions of the building envelope directly affect indoor comfort.
  • Tanks and pipes: Its liquid application allows it to adapt to certain curved surfaces or geometries. An ideal solution where other systems may be more difficult to install.
  • Metal structures: Can be applied to certain metal surfaces to improve their thermal performance and provide additional protection.
  • Commercial and residential buildings: Thermal insulating paints can also be used in different projects to improve indoor comfort or treat specific surfaces without carrying out extensive construction work.

Easy surface application

As a liquid coating, it can be applied using a roller or spray gun to surfaces and geometries, avoiding the construction work associated with thicker insulation systems.

Liquid ceramic thermal insulation: A solution applied directly to surfaces

Magnovent’s ceramic insulating paint has been designed as a coating that improves the thermal performance of different surfaces without the need to add thick layers of insulation.

It is applied in a similar way to paint, using a roller or spray gun, allowing it to adapt to roofs, walls, structures and surfaces with different geometries. This feature makes it easier to use in operational industrial and commercial buildings, reducing the need for complex construction work.

In addition to its thermal properties, the cladding helps protect surfaces from water, moisture, and certain environmental conditions, extending its function beyond insulation.

Thermal insulation for exterior surfaces

Exterior thermal insulating paint helps limit the heating of treated surfaces. At the same time, it provides a protective layer against water and other outdoor elements.

When applied to roofs and exterior façades, the ceramic coating acts directly on the surfaces most exposed to solar radiation and environmental conditions.

Exterior thermal insulation is particularly interesting for large industrial roofs, where solar radiation can considerably increase surface temperatures during warmer months.

Thermal insulation for interior surfaces

Interior thermal insulation helps reduce heat transfer through treated surfaces and contributes to maintaining more stable indoor conditions. It is usually applied inside buildings or industrial warehouses.

Interior thermal insulating paint can be used on certain surfaces where condensation problems occur due to temperature differences between indoor air and the building’s surfaces. This helps improve their performance in response to temperature and humidity differences.

This solution can be particularly useful when it is not easy to work on the exterior of the building or when the problem is concentrated in specific indoor areas.
