Quickin Limited is an investigation vehicle for new companies and innovations. Founded in 2008, we develop and back ventures across fire protection, insulation, solar and the reduction of plastic-based construction materials — taking patented materials and systems from testing through to market.
Alongside the materials, we build the applications and browser extensions that make them easier to specify, measure and manage.
Two operating companies, each with its own products, testing programme and route to market.
Window and glazing refurbishment coatings that cut energy loss without replacing the glass. Independently corroborated by UK and international universities and test houses.
The Window Insulation coating product — applied to existing glazing to improve thermal performance and cut UV, IR and condensation.
Insulation innovations for the building fabric — materials developed for thermal and acoustic performance, durability and real installation conditions.
Four connected positions run across the group, built on patented materials and systems and the production knowledge to make them at scale. Fire testing has been a constant: fifteen years of systems through laboratories worldwide, including approvals against the London Underground materials register.
Materials and systems that improve the fire performance of the building fabric, developed with resilience, durability and real installation conditions in mind.
Insulation and thermal insulating coatings for new build, renovation and refurbishment — covering thermal performance, moisture behaviour, acoustics and long-term durability.
Solar systems and energy-efficiency work aimed squarely at running costs and fuel poverty, so that better performance reaches the households that need it most.
A continuing programme to reduce the reliance on plastic-based construction materials, replacing them with alternatives that hold up on health, safety, durability and sustainability.
Alongside the materials, we develop applications and browser extensions — both to support the ventures and as products in their own right.
A Chrome extension that pulls contacts and subject lines out of your own Gmail, so the addresses buried in years of CC lists become something you can actually use.
A mobile app that turns the day's activity into a recap worth reading the next morning — built in Flutter, Android first.
Web and mobile applications that turn survey data, product data and performance modelling into something a surveyor, installer or specifier can use on site.
Chrome and Chromium extensions that bring product and price data into the tools people already work in, rather than asking them to move somewhere new.
