The characteristic feature of the modern construction industry is the broad appliance of contemporary design and technology solutions, which require new constructive, water-proof, finishing and heat-insulating materials. Implementation of new energy saving norms for the residential sector and increasing requirements for thermal protection of buildings have sharpened an issue how to develop new thermal insulation materials. Although the thick-layered heat insulation is known for a while, the heat insulation made of thin layers requires additional studies. This group of constructive materials is relatively new; there is no equipment and techniques for studying that. The structure of these materials is composite, comprising hollow ceramic and glass microspheres and a binder substance. This combination lends the lightness to the material and makes it highly adhesive to a surface where it should be applied. After application to a surface, the microspheres create a multilayered combination, reflecting up to 80% of heat stream. It makes the premises more comfortable, cutting down the expenditures on heating in winter, and summer air conditioning as well.
