Letter to our Michigan Independent Sales Representative, Douglas Drew of Green Earth Coatings

I would like to offer a few words of praise for the Nansulate product. My girlfriend and I both live in a very old house in downtown Detroit, circa 1890’s, and the cost to heat our home is outrageous. I did some research and discovered Green Earth Coatings, a “Green” construction and painting company. Doug suggested we try a coating called Nansulate.

We applied the Nansulate product in our upstairs unit in hopes of eliminating the need to continually run heat up there throughout the winter months, as we have an extremely old furnace and heating system. The product was easy to apply, (we did it ourselves), and the results were almost instantaneous. The upstairs unit retained a more constant temperature and was consistently more comfortable without the need to pump more and more heat and money up there.

I would highly recommend the Nansulate product line and Green Earth Coatings to anyone who is trying to make their home more comfortable and save money on their heating bills.

Sincerely,
Michael Field and Nicole Conaway

Application: "I applied Nansulate PT on my garage door last year. It works like magic. My garage is usually ten to fifteen degrees cooler than the outside temperature in the Texas summer. It is warmer than the outside temperature in the winter. Before I painted the garage door, the garage was usually seven to ten degrees warmer than the outside temperature in the summer. I sprayed the the underside of my roof deck with four coats of Nansulate HomeProtect Clear Coat about seven weeks ago. So far my attic is never more than the outside temperature. I added attic insulation and a solar fan at the same time I sprayed my attic. I am truly amazed with your product."

Unique use of Nansulate® HomeProtect Clear Coat by a northern California customer:

"We have a western facing sliding glass door in our master bedroom that gets full exposure to the sun, and yesterday temperatures reached over 90 degrees F. This room really heats up in the late afternoons during the summer. Last fall, I decided to coat half the blinds with Nansulate Clear Coat and leave the other half uncoated. With the sun hitting the closed blinds in the late afternoon, I could feel the difference in the amount of heat coming off of the backside of the blinds into our bedroom. It was much lower on the Nansulate covered side. Nansulate is terrific and has made our master bedroom more comfortable during the summer and reduced our cooling costs!"

Testimonial from customer, Evelyne Tinkl, Mohnton, Pennsylvania:

1) Why did you choose Nansulate®? (What was the issue you were trying to solve or improve)

My issue is an 80 year old house without insulated walls. Most of my interior walls are still plaster and lathe – so I was looking for an insulating option that I could tackle myself and that did not involve ripping down walls. Enter Nansulate. I did a test run on two un-insulated dormer closets; before Nansulate I could feel heat waves come my way when I walked into the room, but not post Nansulate. I then received your email about insulating the inside perimeter of a house and decided that it was not only a good idea but also a project I could easily handle one room at a time. After some measuring and calculations, I saw it was also very affordable.

2) Where did you apply Nansulate®?

I applied Nansulate on the inside of my house, on all exterior walls and doors. I worked my way through the house one room at a time.

3) Please tell us how Nansulate® helped you? (What were the results)

I keep a careful spreadsheet of heating expenses and so far, even though this has been a long and cold winter, I have used about 20% less than last year. Take in to account that I decided to keep the house 2 degrees warmer during the day and 4 degrees warmer at night! So I am quite happy and had a much more comfortable winter.

4) Please add any other comments that you like:

I used the clear semi-gloss version; in some rooms I painted over Nansulate and in some (bathroom, kitchen) I left Nansulate as the top coat. I also Nan-insulated my last dormer closet and attic stairs; I was surprised how nice the wood lining looks with several layers of Nansulate.

Letter to our Michigan Independent Sales Representative, Douglas Drew of Green Earth Coatings

"Dear Doug;

I just wanted to write and thank you for recommending the Nansulate Home Protect coating for the second story of my home. As you recall our 2nd story has no forced heat, it is a gravity heat, prior to the application of Nansulate we had to wait 30 minutes for our bedroom to heat up with our heater, now its around 10 to 15 minutes amazing and its even colder outside than it was before. This coating has made a substantial difference in the warmth and comfort of my home. I am sure this product will pay for itself in no time, as you had said. I will definitely recommend your company and products to other people for it has remarkably proven itself worthy."

Thanks Again,

"I haven't had the full curing time but so far my bathroom has had 2 coats of the translucent Nansulate and the condensation in the bathroom has reduced.

I would recommend the product and as I live in a 1930's solid walled flat, I will be purchasing more."

Letter to our Irish Distributor, Eric McGuirk of Nanotech Insulations in Dublin

"Dear Eric,

re: NANSULATE

I live in a 2-bedroomed bungalow with solid walls. In June 07' I painted the internal outside walls with Nansulate and also the immersion tank and pipes.

re: Application

The paint was very easy to use, with good coverage, considering I had to apply 3 coats.

re: Results

Prior to painting, our heating costs were quite high compared to what they are now. In fact, since applying the Nansulate I have been able to lower the thermostat from 5.5/6 to 3, basically halving the temperature. The bungalow is definitely warmer. I am now going to Nansulate the outside external walls which should result in even greater savings in heating costs.

I would certainly recommend Nansulate to anyone who wants to reduce their heating costs. In fact, my sister and her two sons, have now Nansulated their homes. (It was through my sister who lives in Swords, that I was able to order the Nansulate from you).

re: Customer Service

The customer service has been excellent and the delivery of the product extremely fast (3/4 days).

Wishing you all the best with your agency for Nansulate."

Yours sincerely,

"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.

Product Used: Nansulate HomeProtect Clear Coat

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!!!"

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.”

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.
