In the landscape of building thermal insulation solutions, Afontermo has stood out for 20 years as a product capable of optimizing heat management thanks to its high reflective properties. Composed of a blend of natural thermal and reflective aggregates, Afontermo acts as a true thermal and reflective mirror, preventing the wall surface from absorbing and dispersing heat. This makes it an effective solution for both improving living comfort and reducing energy consumption.
The Operating Principle
Afontermo utilizes the principle of heat reflection, which can occur in two ways:
- Direct reflection, when heat is immediately repelled by the treated surface.
- Indirect reflection, when the product reduces the thermal absorption of the wall, thus minimizing heat dispersion.
Depending on the application method—internal or external—Afontermo responds differently to insulation and thermal protection needs.
Internal Application: Comfort and Energy Savings
When applied inside the building, Afontermo optimizes the thermal behavior of the environment in every season:
- In winter, the product reflects the heat generated inside, reducing losses and maintaining a comfortable temperature with less heating use.
- In summer, it prevents external heat from penetrating, helping to keep rooms cooler and limiting the need for air conditioning.
External Application: Protection and Thermal Efficiency
When applied to the “outside of the” building, Afontermo acts with an opposite but equally advantageous effect:
- In winter, it reflects the heat escaping from inside, reducing thermal dispersion and improving insulation efficiency.
- In summer, it directly shields external heat, preventing wall overheating and contributing to greater living comfort.
This dual functionality, combined with its extremely high thermal and breathable properties, makes Afontermo a valuable ally for ensuring optimal energy performance in any season.
Reflective Properties: A Practical Test
The extraordinary capabilities of Afontermo can be easily verified through a simple experimental test. By applying a thermal flow with an industrial hairdryer to an iron sheet (a material with high thermal conductivity) coated with 2 mm of Afontermo, it is possible to observe its ability to shield heat. The product can indeed reflect over 100°C of temperature, thus demonstrating its effectiveness as a thermal barrier.
