apollo A100 provides façades with thermal insulation in summer thanks to the membrane effect. The principle is not based on the reflection of global solar radiation, but on the evaporation of water, which is absorbed in the coating during the night and morning hours, stored and released again during the day. This creates a pleasant evaporative cooling effect on the façade surface, whereby the masonry also heats up significantly less. The principle is simple: the transition from liquid water to water vapour consumes thermal energy and provides evaporative cooling. All buildings coated with IBT technology heat up less, which reduces energy consumption when using air conditioning systems and heats up the environment less in urban areas.
Heat storage in winter, thanks to ceramic properties
In winter, the ceramic coating can better absorb solar energy and equalise temperatures on the surface.
The result is a smooth thermal movement on the façade surface.
