Wates Innovation Entry Showcases Invisible Comfort, Visible Savings
We’re proud to announce that ThermaCote® UK has been selected to present at the Wates Innovation Network (WIN), showcasing not one but two breakthrough retrofit solutions ready to help large estates decarbonise, without disruption or delay.
Our entry introduced both ThermaCote®, our ultra-thin spray-applied thermal barrier for walls, ceilings and roofs, and ThermaFilm™, our transparent nanothermal membrane that instantly boosts glazing performance.
Both technologies are already proven across thousands of real-world applications globally and now ready to scale across UK estates.
Why It Matters
From Victorian sites and listed buildings to glazed offices and social housing, many estate portfolios struggle to reduce carbon without costly disruption. That’s where we come in. Both ThermaCote® and ThermaFilm™ offer:
✅ Year-round comfort for occupants
✅ Low-disruption installation with zero operational downtime
✅ Fast ROI 12 to 36 months, depending on application
✅ Verified savings on heating, cooling and carbon
✅ Compliance alignment with MEES, Part L, PAS 2035 and more
“There’s not a window in this country whose thermal performance won’t be significantly enhanced by ThermaFilm™.” Josh McIvor - MD ThermaCote®/ThermaFilm™
Whether you're a facilities manager, sustainability lead, or retrofit decision-maker, these solutions offer a credible, scalable way to move the needle on net zero fast.
What We Showed Wates
Our pitch to Wates focused on six key advantages:
- Performance: ThermaCote® has a tested U-value of 0.53 W/m²K at just 1mm thickness. ThermaFilm™ blocks 99% UV and 95% infrared.
- Speed: Up to 500 m² of ThermaCote® can be applied per day; ThermaFilm™ installs at 20–60 m² per day even during live operations.
- Cost-Effectiveness: Both options significantly undercut traditional EWI/IWI or glazing replacement.
- Carbon: ThermaFilm™ saves over 14.87 tonnes of CO₂ per 1,000m² of glazing, while ThermaCote® cuts energy use by up to 40%.
- Zero Disruption: No scaffolding. No removal. No downtime.
- Scalability: Ideal for estates managers looking to roll out across multi-site portfolios.
