Vacuum Insulated Panel (VIP) (10mm, 15mm, 20mm, 25mm, 30mm, 40mm)
Ultra-thin, high-performance insulation panels with evacuated cores, delivering exceptional thermal resistance in 10-50 mm thicknesses; require careful handling to avoid puncture.
Ultra-thin, high-performance insulation panels with evacuated cores, delivering exceptional thermal resistance in 10-50 mm thicknesses; require careful handling to avoid puncture.
Vacuum insulated panels (VIPs) use a fumed-silica microporous core evacuated to a very low pressure and sealed in a multilayer barrier envelope. With initial thermal conductivity around 0.0043 W/mK and a design (aged) value of 0.007 W/mK from 20 mm thickness, VIPs deliver high R-values in 10-50 mm thicknesses. Panels are factory-finished and cannot be cut on site; puncture protection and careful detailing are critical.
