Residential Testimonials
Product Used: Nansulate HomeProtect Clear Coat
"Problem:
I live in a 40-year old block of apartments. After installing new
plastic windows in my apartment, I experienced mold on the interior
side of the wall in close surrounding to the windows.
I
applied Nansulate HomeProtect Clear Coat to the exterior side of the
wall, because I believe insulation from the exterior side is more
efficient. Application was made in the begnning of March - early Spring
in our area.
After
application, mold stopped growing. I will see how it works also during
next winter when the problem is most visible, but I believe that it
will work. I tried your paint because we cannot agree with other owners
of our apartments about total reconstruction of the facade (polystyrene
or mineral wool systems), so I was forced to protect my wall
individually."

This
new 4500 square foot home in Sherman, Texas was completed early in
2007. The architect projected a $450 monthly electric bill with
traditional insulation being used. The homeowner decided to add
Nansulate into his new home specification, and had his contractor paint
his interior walls and attic with Nansulate HomeProtect Clear Coat for
added insulation and protection from moisture and mold.
His electric bill hasn't exceeded $190 a month since April of 2007.

Application: "The product is being applied to the interior perimeter walls of the home."
How it Helped:
"The really bad weather has arrived. In past years, after we turned
down the heat at night the home's interior temperature would go down to
56 well before morning, leaving the furnace to come on at least twice
before we awoke. This was in any lower than freezing weather and
sometimes even in weather that was 40 degrees."
Other Comments:
"The house walls are 6" deep and fully insulated. The ceilings are
protected by 14" of cellulos material. We have only done seven of 16
perimeter walls. The walls on the unprotected end of the house are the
ones we have completed. This week the weather has gone cold, single
digits and about 10 degrees. Each night we have had that weather we
have had a temperature of at least 59 when we awake mornings. That is a
full four degrees higher than ever before AND we've not completed the
job! Not once has the furnace come back on during the night. And,
during the day the furnace seems to be comming on fewer times than
ever."

"We
love what your paint has done for our back bedroom. It was not
insulated and remained hot in the summer even with two a/c vents
blowing into the room. Now, it remains 72 degrees when the sun is
beating down on the roof and the outside temp registers 106 degrees!
Amazing!"

"Being
a civil-engineer working in the environmental field I was naturally
skeptical when I stumbled upon the nano-tech website. I was looking for
duct insulation for my home and instead I feel as though I found the
"holy grail." I have limited time but have been applying HomeProtect
ClearCoat to my finished attic , wood exterior doors, and a couple of
old skylights and windows.
The last three
months (May, June, July), I have used 40%, 40%, and 50% of the
electricity I used last year during the same months. This is our
hottest time of the year. The window over my tub does that I coated,
not condensate during showers as it is no longer a
cooler surface than the shower.
The
other day, I left out of town for work so I turned off my air
conditioning before I left. The highs while gone were in the 80s with
90% humidity. I was amazed after returning home when I went upstairs in
the finished off attic to find it cooler than the main floor. What
amazed me more was when I remembered that the air conditioning was off
and had been for 2 days. After I turned it on, it finally came on
at 10:45 at night for about 5 minutes. That was it! The lows at night
have been in the mid to upper 70's is all. I've told my family,
friends, place of employment, and even the Public Works Department for
the city I live in. I believe this product could help tremendously in
the fight against global warming. I recommend it to any and everyone."

"FYI
I am in the end stages of building a 4000 sq ft house which is why I
stumbled on the nanotech in the first place.When I saw the
possibilities, I knew if it really worked it would revolutionize the
insulation industry; and I was waiting for the real test and that was
the first heating bill for the coldest month of the year, and it was
$43.00. I am heating this house with one 5ton heat pump unit. Something
the heat and air people told me I could not do. I was ecstatic when I
saw that bill. I can now really believe in it, because I know it works."
Application:
"On copper hot water pipe, on the interior of the galvanized pool
walls, on the bathroom waste pipe where it is exposed as it penetrates
the exterior wall and is above grade and freeze line."
How Nansulate® Helped:
"I was able to insulate the inside of the galvanized pool walls and the
concrete bottom prior to installing the liner as opposed to using a
rigid foam insulation glued to the outside of the walls. This process
gets the insulation at the source of heat loss instead of on the
opposite side which would allow heat transfer via the exposed and
uninsulatable wall areas.
1. Saved time,
2. Much more thorough application,
3. No insulation areas exposed to possible damage or accidental removal.
4. No excess mess to clean up.
5. Able to insulate otherwise uninsulatable concrete floor of pool."
Application: "My wife breeds and shows rabbit as a hobby - your product
was used to paint the interior of the building where her show rabbits are kept."
How Nansulate™ Helped:
"Rabbits have little tolerance for high heat and keeping them cool
during the summer months can be a major challenge. The building was
noticeably cooler during the last heat wave which included record high
temperatures."

Application:
"On an 1800 s.f. second story ceiling immediately below the attic -
also along the borders of north-facing windows. NOW earlier this summer
I had our company (Arden) paint our lab facility in Sanford, NC with
both primer and GP. Again, we're going to find out this winter if it
keeps that room a little warmer. But I have told tons of people at
Arden about it, and written an article for the company internal web
site - which I'd be happy to share with you. I've also told dozens of
other people about it - parents of our kids' friends, relatives, my
son's 6th grade science teacher (she wants to try it on her 2nd story
addition), and everybody at a Zingerman's business seminar in Ann
Arbor...In fact, I'm going to email everybody your website now that
I've seen that this really does work for myself (read below)"
How it Helped:
"Well, I just put it up yesterday, so I don't know the impact yet on
our use of natural gas for the coming winter BUT...I tested in on our
hot water heater this weekend, painting part of the vent pipe coming
out of the heater. I realize it takes 30-60 days to cure, but there was
an IMMEDIATE difference in temp. between the part of the pipe I coated
and the part I hadn't. AMAZING! I could NOT touch the uncoated pipe. I
COULD touch the coated pipe. I measured with a digital thermometer and
there appeared to be a 10-20F difference."
Other Comments:
"Though the results aren't in yet, I am thrilled already. The heat test
on my water heater PROVED that this really does insulate! I was also
delighted with HOW EASY it was to coat my 2nd story ceiling yesterday.
I had called professional painters to quote doing the job. Then I went
to Lowe's and bought $200 worth of wall coverings, drop cloths, rollers
and all kinds of painbt stuff and spent 45 minutes taping off a
bathroom.l As I was painting I realized that because the viscosity of
Nansulate is a little on the thick side, it really doesn't drop much.
So I simply started doing the rest o the 2nd story WITHOUT all the drop
cloths. I didn't need it! In the end, all I really did was swab off the
ceilings with a big mop, then roll on Nansulate with an extended length
roller. I never even needed a ladder. I had everything done in three
hours. I saved on hiring a painter and am going to return $150 worth of
stuff to Lowe's today. I would be DELIGHTED by the way to speak or
write more on behalf of your product about my experience already OR
after I see the impact on our natural gas usage this winter.
CONGRATULATIONS on a fascinating, really cool Product!!!"

Product used: Nansulate® Translucent GP
Application: "I
recently re-roofed my bungalow style house and added a skylight, ridge
vents and soffit vents for a good ventilating air flow from the eaves
to the peak. Inside I removed the old ceiling and attic insulation
opening up part of the house with a "cathedral" ceiling and making a
sleeping/ storage loft over the rest. I sheathed the inside of the
roof rafters with furniture grade birch plywood and sealed this with
translucent Nansulate GP."
How Nansulate™ Helped: “This
allowed me to maintain maximum ventilation for the roof ( as opposed to
the foam air channel attachment were I to use traditional pink
insulation) with an easier application and also maximizing the beauty
of the birch wood grain . Having added a good amount of cubic space to
the house, I am incredibly impressed with the insulation effects I
witnessed just last night when we had our first frost here on long
island and I was able to maintain an inside temperature of 68 degrees
with only a small woodstove. The boiler never turned on and it was set
at 65 degrees.”

Product Used: Nansulate® Translucent GP
Application: “This application included three projects.
I applied four coats of GP on the copper pipe coming out of our
tankless water heater. Two months after the application, the pipe
feels warm instead of hot to the touch when we run the water. It also
cuts the time for warm water to get to a faucet if we have run it
recently, because water stays warm in the pipes longer than before.
I also applied GP to the hot air ducts that come out of our furnace.
Our furnace room is vented to the outside, so warmth in the ducts would
escape into the room between each furnace run, and the fan would blow
the cold air into the house every time the furnace came on. Two months
after applying Nansulate GP to the ducts, there is no initial blast of
cold air from the vents when the furnace kicks on, unless the system
has not run for several hours. Application in this project was easy
and appears to be durable.
The third
project was applying three coats of GP to the north and east facing
walls of the outside of my brick house. I applied it to the outside of
my brick wall because insulation applied outside allows us to take
advantage of the thermal mass of the brick, hopefully slowing down the
response of the interior temperature to big temperature swings
outside. Application in this case was not very easy, because I had to
apply it to the mortar gap between the bricks as well as to the
bricks. Over a month after the application (now December), the
interior walls are noticeably warmer within the coated walls than
inside uncoated walls. I will not know for sure the extent of any
energy savings for several months, but our November natural gas usage
was smaller than last year although the weather was similar.“

Note:
The three applications with Nansulate GP above were completed before
our HomeProtect products were available. HomeProtect Clear Coat is the
recommeded product for these applications and will offer the same
insulating benefit.

"I
used Nansulate PT on our outside to inside water pipes. My wife was
very pleased to have cold water in the kitchen during the hot summer
without having the long wait that we had before using Nansulate."
