High-Performance & Thin
Thermal Insulation in UAE
NANOTECHNOLOGY Thermal Insulation
Achieving strict U-value requirements in the UAE often comes at a cost: thicker walls, lost space, higher structural loads, and construction delays.
I-GK2 is an advanced nano-technology thermal insulation coating designed to deliver exceptional thermal performance using minimal material thickness, making it ideal for projects with space, weight, or design limitations.
Especially suited for UAE buildings where floor area, façade alignment, and retrofit constraints matter.

Achieve Your Target U-Value Without Increasing Wall Thickness
Why choose I-GK2?
advanced insulation
Achieve optimal U-values with a thin layer, reducing material consumption and structural load compared to traditional insulation methods.
Cost & Time-Saving
Reduce labor, material, and installation costs while accelerating project timelines. I-GK2 eliminates complex multi-layered insulation systems.
Long-Term & Reliable
Resistant to cracking, moisture, and extreme temperatures, I-GK2 provides lasting performance without the need for frequent maintenance.
I-GK2 is a one-coat, high-performance insulating material that uses advanced nano-technology to minimize heat transfer.
- Applied as a coating. No boards, No anchors
- Extremely low thermal conductivity (0.003 W/m·K)
- Applied directly to internal or external surfaces
What to expect practically?
- You achieve comparable or better thermal results with a significantly thinner layer.
Technical Advantages of I-GK2
- Ultra-low thermal conductivity
- Minimal thickness requirement
- One-coat thermal insulation solution
- No thermal bridges

FAQs
What is I-GK2?
I-GK2 is a nano-technology thermal insulating skim coat engineered to achieve extremely low U-values with minimal thickness. It is designed for projects in hot climates like the UAE where wall thickness and thermal performance are major constraints.
How does I-GK2 work as a thermal insulation material?
I-GK2 uses advanced nano-ceramic microspheres that dramatically reduce heat transfer. Its thermal conductivity is 0.003 W/m·K, allowing it to achieve insulation performance previously impossible at such small thicknesses.
How much thickness is required to achieve low U-values with I-GK2?
I-GK2 can achieve a U-value of 0.15 W/m²K with only 19 mm total system thickness. Traditional insulation materials need 80–120 mm to reach similar results.
Is I-GK2 suitable for UAE climate conditions?
Yes. I-GK2 is specifically recommended for high-temperature regions like the UAE, where heat gain, wall thickness limitations, and energy-efficiency targets are major challenges.
Can I-GK2 be used on both internal and external walls?
Yes, I-GK2 is suitable for internal and external applications. It performs as both a thermal insulating skim coat and a final finishing layer.
Does I-GK2 replace traditional insulation boards?
In many cases, yes. I-GK2 can achieve the required U-values without the need for bulky insulation boards, eliminating space constraints and design limitations.
Is I-GK2 certified?
I-GK2 is internationally certified and laboratory-tested. Local UAE approvals are available, with all technical data, test reports, and performance calculations available upon request.
What are the key benefits of I-GK2?
The major benefits include: extremely low thermal conductivity (0.003 W/m·K), ultra-thin application, reduced wall thickness, improved energy efficiency, faster installation, lightweight composition, and compatibility with decorative finishes.
Can I-GK2 be used in retrofitting projects?
Yes. I-GK2 is ideal for refurbishment and retrofit work where existing wall thickness cannot be increased, yet U-value compliance is required.
Is I-GK2 safe and environmentally friendly?
Yes. I-GK2 is a non-toxic, water-based formula with low VOC emission. It also reduces overall material usage compared to thick insulation boards, supporting sustainable building practices.
