FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to questions most often asked regarding the Insuladd insulating paint additive from Tech Traders.

Q: How much does Insuladd^® cost?
A: All prices and shipping costs are shown on our website!

Q: I live in a northern climate, will Insuladd^® work for me?
A: Yes! Remember that heat travels to cold! The heat inside your home wants to escape toward the cold outside air! Insuladd^® on your interior walls will help stop this outward heat loss and help to maintain the comfort level of your home!

Q: What kind of paint should I use?
A: Insuladd^® works the same with all interior and exterior paint! There is no one brand that works better than another.

Q: How many coats of paint should I apply?
A: For best results 2 coats of paint with Insuladd^® in each coat is recommended. (Additional coats beyond 2 give only a marginal increase in performance over a 2 coat application and are therefore unneccesary.)

Q: Should I use Insuladd^® both inside and outside?
A: Yes! For the optimum in energy efficiency it is best to use Insuladd^® both inside and out, however either application alone will give you increased energy efficiency!

Q: Can I paint over Insuladd^® at a later date?
A: Yes! However a slight decrease in performance may result.

Q: How much Insuladd^® do I need?
A: One bottle of Insuladd^® per one gallon of paint! (i.e. a five gallon kit of Insulad contains five bottles of Insuladd^®) You can figure on an average coverage rate of 200 sq. ft. per gallon for most house paints on smooth surfaces.

Q: Can Insuladd^® be sprayed?
A: Yes! Simply remove all filters from your spray equipment (or they will strain out the Insuladd^®) and use a slightly larger spray tip than normal! Wagner Power Rollers can also be used!
