Ceramic Paint to Insulate-Does It Work?

Many house paints are labeled 'low-e' for low emissivity. Emissivity refers to how much heat is emitted from a surface.

Some of these paints, the ceramic ones, contain small, hollow ceramic beads.

The idea is that when the paint dries, the beads bond together and create a radiant barrier. This radiant barrier translates into energy savings for the consumer.
