Transform Your Shed, Garage, or Workshop with Super Therm® Heat Block Insulation

Sheds, garages and workshops are essential spaces for many homeowners, man-caves and professionals. However, their design—often with metal roofs and walls—makes them prone to extreme heat buildup during summer, similar to shipping containers. This heat can make working conditions unbearable, reduce productivity, and potentially damage anything stored inside. A solution like Super Therm® ceramic insulation coating offers an effective and energy-efficient way to combat this issue by blocking heat transfer at the source.

The Hidden Heat Problem in Sheds: Why Conductive Heat is a Silent Culprit

When we think of sheds, garages, or workshops, most of us picture functional spaces for storage, hobbies, or projects. But there’s an often-overlooked issue that plagues these structures, especially during the warmer months: conductive heat. Unlike radiant heat, which comes directly from the sun, conductive heat silently infiltrates through the very materials that make up your shed—turning a practical space into an uncomfortably hot and potentially damaging environment.

Conductive heat works by transferring energy through solid materials like metal walls or roofs. Metal, a common building material for sheds, absorbs outdoor heat and transmits it directly to the interior, effectively creating a heat trap. This phenomenon leads to sweltering conditions inside, making it unbearable for people and unsafe for tools, equipment, or stored items.

The problem doesn’t stop when the sun goes down. Materials like metal retain heat long after the temperature outside has cooled. This lingering warmth can warp sensitive items, crack organic materials, and even create safety hazards with volatile substances. Worse, as the interior heats up, warm air combined with cooler surfaces creates condensation, leading to rust, corrosion, and mold—issues that can destroy both the shed and its contents.

So, what’s the solution? While traditional methods like fans or portable air conditioning may provide temporary relief, they do little to address the underlying problem of conductive heat transfer. That’s where innovative technologies like Super Therm® step in. By forming a protective barrier that blocks heat transfer, coatings like Super Therm® stop conductive heat in its tracks, ensuring a cooler, more stable interior.

This is more than just a matter of comfort. Addressing conductive heat is about safeguarding your investment—protecting the tools, equipment, and items that make your shed a functional extension of your home. With solutions that tackle the root cause, sheds and workshops can become spaces for productivity and creativity, not just storage.

Conductive heat may be invisible, but its effects are anything but. It’s time we recognize this silent culprit for what it is—and take action to keep our spaces cool, protected, and ready for whatever purpose we envision.

The Subtle Beauty of White Super Therm®: A Neighbor-Friendly Choice

When it comes to coatings for sheds, garages, or workshops, the color white often gets a bad reputation. It’s associated with harsh glare, strong reflections, and overpowering brightness that can disrupt not only the aesthetic harmony of a property but also the comfort of neighboring spaces. But White Super Therm® is rewriting the narrative, offering a smart, considerate solution for those seeking efficiency without compromise.

Unlike traditional white paints or coatings, Super Therm® Egg Shell White is designed with a low gloss, eggshell, silky matte finish.
