Dear Engineer Mr. Lanza,
it is with great pleasure that I’m writing to you.
We used your products (AFONTERMO reflective skim coat TYPE “A” - TYPE “B” and REFLECTIVE THERMAL PAINT) last summer in our apartment and this has really improved our life quality.
We lived almost twenty years in a ground floor apartment, damp and almost all the walls of the house were full of mold.

A situation that had become unbearable.
From the point of view of health, that mold which we had been trying in vain to eradicate over the years, gave me multiple allergies.
Due to the high costs, sustained by purchasing products that were sold as miraculous, but which in reality were useless palliatives. Their effect lasted a few months and then the problems promptly reappeared: on the walls with brown, black and “hairy” moulds, on the floors with famous "dew corners" (better to say real puddles on the rooms’ corners), in the furniture. And not to forget clothes and linen that were always damp and impregnated with a terrible musty smell.
Now when we enter the house everything is dry!

The air is breathable, light, my lungs – after years of chronic bronchitis – are fine! And above all THE ENERGY SAVING IS CONSIDERABLE!
In recent years, the boiler thermostat during the winter months was fixed at 22/23 degrees (71/73 F) and despite this, there was always a lot of humidity and the house was cold….
Now, the thermostat is set between 16.5 and 17 degrees (61.7 and 62.6), the walls are dry, warm and we’re really feeling good!
What else should I say? Facts speak for themselves.
The only regret is not having learned, a long time ago, of your company’s innovative materials for healthy and comfortable building.
For all these reasons I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart and wish you and your family all the best for a great new year.

With the hope that many other families, like ours, will become aware of your company’s building materials and thus be able to live in their homes with a better and healthier life quality, as we are now enjoying.

Thanks again.

Dear Ing. Lanza, I saw from your brochures that satisfied customers were writing to thank you for your products and advice I feel compelled to do so as well.

I am a mother of three is the owner of a house in the mountains where cold, mold and a lot of ambient humidity reigned for that it is really an "upside down" house (not sunny).
To heat it we had 2 boilers from "Riello" oil-fired 40 KW each. We kept them at medium to high speed by also getting help from 2 pellet stoves for an annual expenditure of 5-6 thousand plus pellets. We had an estimate done for an exterior coat. The estimate was 35000 € plus scaffolding (since it is a 4-level house).

Having learned about your niche product AFONTERMO in May 2013, we purchased and applied it internally for a total of 250 m2. Since then we have seen an improvement inside the home by permanently wiping out the mold we had in several places: kitchen, bathroom and on the walls behind the cabinets. We eliminated moisture completely.
We replaced the oil boilers and pellet stoves with a thermo stove from the 29 KW "Vulcania." The thermo stove runs at idle speed and only at night. Thanks to the 4mm of its innovative product, the temperature in the 2 apartments remains constant at 17-18°C. I want to point out that the night temperature drops as low as -5°C. Now we spend 1200-1500 € annually on heating plus plumbing.

Thanks to AFONTERMO, we have healthy air in our home; important economic savings are achieved, and the environment is no longer polluted.

Best Regards

My client Mr. Scapecchi Severino, owner of a residential apartment located at via Don Silvano Nanni no. 33 in the town of Monte San Savino (AR), contacted me to find out how to solve a problem of surface condensation that was taking place in the cold winter months on the floor of some of his house’s rooms.

During the inspection in the aforementioned apartment, I verified the actual presence of the aforementioned problem only in the rooms facing north, used as bedrooms. These rooms are positioned above a driveway open on two sides from which they are separated by a prestressed hollow core slab (anchored on one side to the garage access wall and on the other side to a reinforced concrete wall against the ground). Furthermore, in the intrados (therefore above said lane) I found polystyrene panels used for insulation and featuring a 2cm (0.78 in) thickness.
I verified the presence of condensation by seeing water droplets on the entire surface of the single-fired floor of the above mentioned rooms facing north.

We decided to remove the polystyrene panels under the apartment’s attic, located above the open ramp. Then we cleaned the pre-existing support and applied two coats of AfonTermo type A (base coat, grain size 1/2 mm, or 0,03/0,078 in.) for one overall thickness of about 6 mm (0,24 in). In this way we made a nanocappotto replacing the current insulating layer. The following winter the aforementioned condensation phenomena were totally disappeared. If I have to be totally honest, some water droplets can still be found along the external perimeter of those rooms facing north, but the problem before was taking place on the entire floor surface of each single house room .

Considering that the two rooms in question are two single bedrooms in which all four of their children sleep (two per room) and that there is not sufficient air exchange during the night (except by creating a controlled mechanical ventilation system), we therefore suggested the owners to increase the rooms’ internal temperature and to install a dehumidifier. This in order to try to avoid (as far as possible) the onset of surface condensation. We also told them to open the windows immediately in the morning as soon as they got up, program the heating system to turn on in a different way, and by doing so all the condensation problems disappeared.
Having said that, considering the extent of the surface condensation phenomenon both before and after the installation of AfonTermo (caused however by other factors, which have now been resolved), we can safely declare the effectiveness of the carried out works. And therefore the great satisfaction of the house owner and mine too for the complete solution of the problem.
