NANSULATE® NANOTECHNOLOGY BASED SOLUTIONS
TO REDUCE HEAT LOSS THROUGH WINDOWS
NANSULATE®
ENERGY PROTECT™
INSULATION AND PROTECTIVE
COATING
The science of nanotechnology is behind the
innovation of Nansulate® Energy Protect™. A
translucent coating that is used as a liquid
insulation for energy savings over building envelope
surfaces, including windows and skylights. The
coating will give glass a slightly frosted look for
security, while allowing through approximately 92%
of the visible light.
Benefits include:
✓
Reduces heat loss through windows for energy
savings
✓
Reduces heat transmission per ISO testing by
34.8%*
✓
Cost effective at only 57 cents US per S.F.
✓
Easy spray application, can be sprayed over
frames and windows
✓
Lowers energy costs for heating and cooling
✓
Reduces condensation
✓
Perfect for daylighting
✓
UV and moisture resistant
✓

Money Saving Product
ENERGY SAVINGS
Nansulate® coatings have been tested to
the ISO standard for thermal performance
of building assemblies over 8cm cement
wall sections, and shown to decrease heat
transmission by 34.8%*.
LIGHT TRANSMISSION
As tested on pane glass, Nansulate®
Energy Protect™ allows transmission of
approximately 92% of visible light, while
also frosting windows for security and
reducing glare.
SURFACE PROTECTION
Additional protective benefits include UV
resistance, moisture resistance,
condensation reduction, and mold/fungi
resistance.
COST COMPARISON:
Many factories and commercial buildings
have single pane windows that represent
huge gaps in their building’s thermal
envelope. You can now affordably control
heat loss through windows with a payback
that’s significantly less than replacement.

Additional cost/waste
Waste incurred from old
windows - added disposal
cost
No waste incurred, as existing
windows remain in place and are
retrofit with the insulation coating
Installation Process
Installation process includes
removal of old windows and
replacement with new Typically done by professional
installers.
Installation process includes use of
typical paint spray equipment to
spray the coating at 4 mils per coat
over the windows and frames. The
total coverage is 3-coats.
Can be done by maintenance
crews in house, or a painting
contractor.

Even if we skew the expected energy savings to allow less than typical for Nansulate®, the payback
difference is astounding, and makes it clear which product is the best value to reduce heat transfer
costs from windows.
HOW IT WORKS
This patented technology incorporates
a nanomaterial that reduces direct heat
conduction, allowing the coating to
reduce both heating costs in the winter
and cooling costs in the summer. Heat
always transfers to cold, so no matter
what your climate or season,
Nansulate® Thermal Barrier Coatings
make for a comfortable environment
and lower heating and cooling costs for
buildings and facilities.

“Art conservation researchers over the past
40 years have studied the sensitivity of
artworks to light. In Weymouth’s designs, a
crucial element is using materials and
coatings that block out both ultraviolet rays
and heat.”

referring to the HOK project with
Nansulate® at the Frost Art Museum
CORNWELL QUALITY TOOLS
"Sirs, We at Cornwell Tools have been very
pleased with the results of using the
Nansulate material. It's hard to quantify how
much has been saved...However I believe
that a considerable savings has been
realized. The cost of the (Nansulate)
materials was probably saved in the first
cold month."

Application on skylights for reduction of
energy costs for cooling.
Nansulate® Energy Protect
can be used for all building
envelope surfaces, including
windows/skylights, interior
or exterior walls, ceilings,
and ductwork.
VERNON BANK
Application on skylights to reduce dripping
from condensation, heat transfer, and glare.
Application Basics:
Apply the first coat at 4 mils wet film thickness, allow to dry for 24 hours. Apply the second
coat at 4 mils wet film thickness, allow to dry to touch (approximately 1-2 hours) before
applying the third and final coat. Do not let the application get rained on (if outside) for 72 hours
or go below freezing for 30-days. Application with paint sprayer is recommended for most even
coverage without brush or roller lines.
The coating can be applied on either side of the window (indoor or outdoor).
