At two venues of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, with completed MEP installations already in place, the available installation clearance was too restricted for any conventional insulation system to be physically applied. GWR NANO INSULATION® at 1 mm dry film thickness met the prescribed thermal requirements; the installation was carried out by our exclusive regional partner, Q Green Trading and Contracting W.L.L. Treated substrates: reinforced concrete, AAC block, plasterboard partitions, floors, ceilings, trapezoidal steel, structural steel and stand soffit. A lower surface temperature feeds straight through to cooling demand.

The external envelope surfaces of the two-storey modular accommodation complex were coated with GWR NANO INSULATION®. A lightweight envelope stores almost no heat and its surface temperature tracks solar radiation without lag, so radiant gain accounts for much of the summer cooling load. The coating lowers the solar absorptance of the outer surface, and with it the heat flux entering through the structure and the compressor running time. At 1 mm it leaves the geometry and the weight of the modules unchanged, so they remain demountable and transportable; the air-conditioning units, the steel stair and the windows stayed in place.

Grand private residence – facade and terrace insulation
Full facade and horizontal terrace insulation of a private residence articulated by a curved pediment and a columned loggia. The curved surfaces, columns and other architectural features cannot be clad in conventional insulation boards for geometric reasons; GWR NANO INSULATION® applied by airless spray conforms uniformly to every surface profile, forming an uninterrupted coating.
Family house – facade insulation during application
The coating was applied by airless spray directly onto the existing render, with openings, plinth and ground protected by masking film. The house stayed occupied throughout: no demolition, no anchoring system, no levelling coat. The reveals were coated as well, with a proper edge termination at the sills. At 1 mm dry film the opening dimensions are unchanged and no sill replacement is needed, so the facade keeps its original articulation.
Two-storey family house – facade insulation
Full facade insulation of a two-storey dwelling. Partial scaffolding served the upper sections while the lower surfaces were reachable from a ladder, so the work progressed without closing off the ground around the house. The coating follows the balcony soffit, the window reveals and the roof edges alike; the timber balcony railing and the entrance canopy stayed in place, since a thin-film coating does not force the junctions to be rebuilt.
Light commercial vehicle cargo area – interior thermal coating
Full interior coating of the load space of a light commercial vehicle. Thin sheet-steel bodywork has little thermal mass and high conductance, so the load space heats up fast in summer and cools just as fast in winter. The sprayed coating follows the roof ribbing, the perforated roof bows and the side panels as one continuous surface; unlike board insulation it costs no internal clearance.
Container house – facade coating on rendered and clad surfaces
Facade coating of a container house on clad and rendered surfaces. On a light envelope with little thermal mass the summer load is largely solar, so the coating went onto the external face; the board-profile cladding and the rendered section each needed their own substrate preparation. The sprayed thin film follows the profile, does not build up at the overlaps, and adds no appreciable load to the light structure.
Attic – roof plane and exposed framing
The entire internal envelope of the attic was coated: the sloping roof plane, the gable walls and the exposed framing, sides and soffits included. The roof carries the highest summer heat load of the building and passes it straight into the space below, while continuity of insulation is hardest to achieve exactly along the edges and junctions. The sprayed application forms an unbroken layer across those too, and takes no headroom.
Family house – facade coating without scaffolding
Facade coating of a family house with a converted roof space. The coating was applied in two colours, over the rendered wall fields, the plinth band, the pilaster strips, the oriel and the wall faces at garage level. It was sprayed from a ladder, so no scaffold had to be raised in front of the building and the garages and the entrance stayed in use throughout. At 1 mm the film does not bury the mouldings: their projection is kept and the line between the two colour fields stays sharp.
Hansai restaurant – facade coating
Coating of a large-format panel cladding. The film forms a continuous layer across the panel faces and along the joints without filling the gaps, so movement of the cladding elements is not restrained. The air-conditioning outdoor units, the ventilation duct, the window grilles and the roof trim were masked rather than removed, and stayed in place; the higher bays were coated from a mobile tower, with no full facade scaffold erected.
Napos Oldal residential park – facade and flat-roof coating
Flat-roofed two-storey houses with pale rendered and brick-clad facades. In this geometry most of the summer heat load reaches the structure through the flat roof and the large glazed openings. The coating lowers the solar absorptance of the outer surface, so less of the incident radiation is converted to heat at the envelope face. It can be taken into the build-up at the design stage: 1 mm of dry film adds no structural thickness and does not narrow the openings.
Private golf room – insulating coating as the finish
The full enclosing wall surface of the room was insulated. In a room heated intermittently, comfort depends on the internal surface temperature at least as much as on the air temperature; the 1 mm layer raises that surface temperature and shortens the warm-up. The sprayed coating stays continuous along edges and corners, with nothing fixed through it, and remains vapour-open, so the wall can still dry outwards.
Modern two-storey dwelling – facade insulation
GWR NANO INSULATION® can replace conventional External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS): applied directly to the existing render substrate with no structural intervention, mechanical fixings or render build-up. There is no adhesive bed and no rail framework: the facade thickness and geometry are effectively unchanged, the original arrises and window reveals keep their definition, and the installation programme is significantly shortened.
Multi-storey panel block – facade thermal insulation
Airless spray application can be carried out from elevated work platforms without full scaffold erection. Resident disruption and site exclusion periods are minimised; no through-panel fixing penetrations require sealing or remediation after completion. The joint-free coating also reduces thermal bridging at panel junctions, the weak points board insulation tends to leave untreated. The treatment suits energy retrofit programmes targeting a sustained reduction in residents' utility costs.
Glazed industrial roof – internal insulation
Thermal treatment of the internal structural ribs and adjoining aluminium profiles of the metal-framed glass roof at MarázPlast’s site. The coating both reflects infrared radiation and adds thermal resistance, attenuating solar heat flux and reducing summer heat gain and air-conditioning demand in the space beneath the glazed roof. In winter the same resistance reduces heat loss through the metal frame, without affecting light transmission.
Listed heritage building – facade insulation
On a building under monument protection, heritage regulations strictly limit the scope of intervention: its visible appearance and ornamental elements cannot be altered. Conventional board insulation, several centimetres thick, would obscure the arched window surrounds and cornice profiles. At 1 mm dry film, GWR NANO INSULATION® improves thermal performance while leaving the original appearance unchanged and the work within the heritage requirements.
Multi-storey panel block insulation
One section of the facade already shows the GWR NANO INSULATION® coating's smooth, uniform finish, while the adjoining section remains untreated, with the original panel texture still exposed. Application from a self-propelled lift allows the works to proceed on a defined schedule, section by section, without disrupting residents. The contrast sets the seamless, joint-free finish against the untreated panel surface, and it closes as the retrofit progresses.
Thermographic inspection – measurement documentation
The cooler, lighter-toned square in the thermal image is the section of metal cladding treated with GWR NANO INSULATION® – under thermal loading it heats up far less than the surrounding untreated trapezoidal steel, which reaches a visibly high surface temperature (yellow-red range). Captured in a single frame under the same ambient load, the image shows the temperature difference between the treated and untreated surface.
Two-storey family house – facade insulation
On this two-storey family house, the GWR NANO INSULATION® coating was applied in two distinct colour tones – the coating can be tinted on site, so the upper and ground-floor sections read as separate without any additional decorative layer. The coating forms a continuous, seamless surface across the entire facade, including the varying wall geometry and the eaves junctions at roof level, keeping the boundary between the two tones sharp and stable.
GP surgery, Egészségház utca – facade insulation
At an actively operating GP surgery, the works were carried out in scheduled phases without disrupting patient care: airless spray dries quickly, so work areas had to be closed off only briefly. In a healthcare setting the surface behaviour tested to ISO 22196 carries particular weight: against E. coli the surface colony count fell by more than 5.1 log, while against S. aureus the reduction stayed below 1 log (Fraunhofer IPA, report WI 2404-1514).
Family house – facade and roller shutter coating
Facade coating of a two-storey family house, including the roller shutter curtains. A closed shutter is one of the hottest elements of a facade: the thin, low-mass slats take the direct solar load and radiate the heat they absorb back towards the glazing. A thicker coating is not an option here, since it grows the diameter of the rolled curtain and binds the slats in the guide rails. At 1 mm dry film the rolled diameter is unaffected, and the shutters stayed operable with no readjustment.
Family house – facade and gable eagle sculpture
Coating of a gable elevation together with the eagle sculpture standing on its apex. Free-standing on every side, the sculpture takes driving rain, UV load and winter freeze-thaw cycles; decay is driven mainly by moisture freezing in the pores. The coating preserves the vapour diffusion of the substrate, so moisture is not sealed in, and at 1 mm it does not blunt the worked detail of the surface. The rusticated stone window surrounds were left uncoated.
