Aerogel Floor Insulation: The Modern Twist on Ancient Roman Floors
Looking for a floor that combines timeless charm, energy efficiency, and modern durability? Aerogel floor insulation, paired with lime-based materials, is the ultimate solution for a warm, breathable, and sustainable home. Inspired by ancient Roman techniques, it’s a flooring system designed to retain heat, prevent moisture, and elevate your comfort.
Why Aerogel and Lime Floors?
1. Heat Storage for Cozy Living
At the heart of this system is Massetto Caldo, a lime-based screed with crushed bricks (cocciopesto). These tiny fragments store heat effectively, making your floors warmer to the touch—even without underfloor heating. Pair it with underfloor heating pipes, and you get a heat reservoir that stays warm longer, saving energy and reducing costs.
- Faster Heating: Cocciopesto floors heat your space 16% faster than cement alternatives.
- Enhanced Retention: Keeps warmth longer for lasting comfort.
2. Superior Insulation with Aerogel Technology
Aerogel, the lightest known solid material, takes insulation to a new level. Combined with lime plasters like Termointonaco 2020 MGN or Termorasante Aerogel MGN, it ensures exceptional thermal performance:
- Ultra-Thin Insulation: Just 10 mm of aerogel-enhanced lime plaster can raise surface temperatures by 3–5°C.
- Heat Reflectance: Reflects warmth back into your room, boosting energy efficiency.
- Sustainability: Breathable materials prevent condensation, mold, and indoor air pollution.
3. Waterproofing for Peace of Mind
No one wants water creeping in from below. A base coat like Rinzaffo MGN acts as a waterproof and salt-resistant barrier, extending your floor’s lifespan by protecting it from rising damp and moisture infiltration.
How It All Comes Together
The beauty of this system lies in its layers:
- Protective Base Coat: Rinzaffo MGN ensures a waterproof foundation.
- Insulating Layer: Choose Termointonaco or Aerogel plasters for unmatched insulation.
- Heat-Storing Screed: Massetto Caldo serves as the final layer, combining warmth and durability.
The Science Behind It
Lab tests prove that lime floors with cocciopesto outperform traditional cement floors in heat retention and energy efficiency.
Key findings:
- Steeper heat curve for cocciopesto.
- ~16% more heat output compared to cement floors.
- Faster warming and reduced energy requirements.
Ideal Applications
Aerogel floor insulation suits a variety of settings:
- New floor installations.
- Upgrades over limecrete, timber, or cement bases.
- Homes with underfloor heating systems.
- Traditional or modern interiors, from Venetian elegance to rustic charm.
