See How Rhino Shield Insulates Your Chicagoland Home

Kaspars Melderis • June 26, 2025

Durability is just the beginning when it comes to Rhino Shield. In this video, Mike demonstrates how Rhino Shield’s advanced ceramic coating goes beyond protection; it helps insulate your home.

Using a heat source and an infrared thermometer, Mike compares a traditional painted surface to one coated with Rhino Shield. The difference in surface temperature is dramatic. Thanks to Rhino Shield’s ceramic microspheres, the coated panel reflects heat and resists thermal transfer—keeping surfaces cooler under intense heat.

This isn’t just a lab experiment—it’s a real advantage for Chicagoland homeowners. Less heat entering your home means more indoor comfort and potential energy savings, especially during the sweltering days of summer.

Why Insulation Matters in Chicagoland

From freezing winters to hot, humid summers, Chicagoland weather can be extreme. That’s why having an exterior coating that helps insulate your home year-round is a smart investment. Rhino Shield helps keep your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer—reducing energy use and increasing comfort across all seasons.
