“It should be made clear this product is not just ‘white paint’. It has been rigorously tested by Melbourne University and CSIRO for performance and longevity.”
Whether Thermoshield Insulation is applied on a new roof, applied as part of our restoration system or being applied to ‘seal’ a building for corrosion prevention, all applications of Thermoshield Insulation will result in preventing major heat transfer in any environment.
The success of Thermoshield Insulation is due to its ability to counter ‘radiant heat’ transfer. Thermoshield hollow ceramic microspheres can:
- Reduce internal temperature by up to 45%
- Reduce cooling costs by up to 40%
- Reduce UV penetration by up to 96%
- Reduce cooling equipment workload
Thermoshield ensures an investment in a Thermoshield ceramic coating is a long term one. Thermoshield offers a 10 Year Warranty* with any remedial work (if) required and this is completed at the expense of Thermoshield Australia, with your peace of mind an satisfaction our priority

Thermoshield Prevents Corrosion
The shed decimated by corrosion and rebuilt using Thermoshield Insulation as protection against the extremely corrosive chemicals, that are stored within for use in the mining industry.
Two years later, the Thermoshield ‘seal’ has been maintained and the metal has yet to be exposed to any chemical or environmental exposure ‘never seen the light of day’.
Detail shots, show how the sheet overlaps and screw penetrations have remained sealed, meaning the thermal coating has eliminated the damaging effects of expansion and contraction or ‘thermal shock’.
The most common problem is the repair and prevention of widespread surface rusting, which is a precursor to a roof corrosion which leads to replacement.
A typical scene of widespread surface rusting, followed by Corrosion Control then finally, sealed beneath a thick, Thermoshield thermal insulation coating.
If the substrate is encased below Thermoshield thermal insulation coating, then the underlying causes for corrosion have been removed from the equation.
This will significantly prolong the life of your roof and fixtures!
Thermoshield Insulation Performance
An Australian University conducted a study into the performance of the Thermoshield Insulation product only following a study on generic paints. The results supported the testimony received from many satisfied customers. You can see from the below two graphs (from study) that the Thermoshield Insulation coated building has a significantly lower surface temperature and significantly higher reflectance than the uncoated.
The University found that typical ‘cool roof’ products achieve a net zero benefit to industrial buildings due to reducing internal temperatures in colder months, leading to increased heating requirements. The study into Thermoshield found that Thermoshield Insulation is very unique as it is the only product that has high insulation value, in addition to high reflectance allowing for all year round energy savings.
“Thermoshield Insulation is the only product that has high reflectance and also high insulation properties”
You can see from the below graphs (from study) that the Thermoshield insulation coating reduced internal temperatures in hotter months, yet increases internal temperatures during winter nights:
The primary purpose for a Thermoshield application is often the need to reduce internal temperature in hotter months. However, an underestimated supplementary benefit is the added insulation that is provided during winter months! The Victorian Department of Sustainability in their own independent tests and achieved major energy efficiency gains in the winter quarter.
