Thermal insulation has always been an important aspect in the construction industry. And, it must be said, energy management in our buildings is not an easy thing. It is necessary to both maintain a comfortable temperature indoors and reduce energy consumption. To do this, many technological advances have been made in the field of insulation over the years. But a recent revolution has emerged: ultra-thin insulators. These innovative materials, such as vacuum insulated panels (VIP) or silica aerogels, promise to optimize interior space and facilitate installation.
Vacuum insulation: ultra-thin, but effective!
This process is very recent and its arrival in France only dates back to 2008. Vacuum insulation panels represent one of the options most efficient on the market for interior insulation, for several reasons. Thanks to their composition (porous core covered with an airtight and gas-tight envelope) they only require very little thickness to meet current thermal requirements.

Their use will therefore allow you to achieve considerable space saving. It should be noted that their low thickness does not prevent them from providing you with exceptional thermal resistance, thanks to the vacuum inside the panels. However, vacuum insulation may have some weak points. In fact, it is very fragilewhich requires great attention when installing the panels which must not be intersected. So do not hesitate to call a professional when installing them.
Even following the operation, you must ensure that they are not pierced so to guarantee their longevity.
Silica airgel: a light and strong insulator
Another ultra-thin insulation that gives you high performance is silica airgel. As the name suggests, this material is made from silica gel and air. It is marketed in the form insulating coatings to apply or project on your walls and facades. That said, it is also available in the form of granules intended for external thermal insulation.
This insulator is both light and strong and can be used in different applications. Silica airgel is a great option for insulating your home. This material has a low conductivityin other words, it does not let the heat from the inside escape, which will allow you to preserve it in winter. The same goes for the freshness in summer.

We don’t need to tell you that this will not only reduce your energy consumption, but also your carbon footprint. That’s not all ! Silica airgel has other benefits. For example, you will not need to install a vapor barrier, because it is waterproof. It is also very fire resistant.
Ultra-thin insulators are real allies for the construction industry. Their energy efficiency and lightness deserve your full attention!
