<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">We discussed this a few years ago on the eQUEST-users forum.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Research and anecdotes question the value of “ceramic insulation” paints. It is doubtful that they impact R-value in any meaningful way.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">You can try modeling it by varying the absorptance and/or emissivity of the wall, if the product you are considering provides those values.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Ceramic Insulation Coating? I am unsure how to proceed.<o:p></o:p></p>
