Thermablok® “Aerogel” Technology From NASA now
Available to Increase Energy Efficiency in Buildings
The thermal R-value of a stud wall is increased by more than 40-percent with just one thin strip of “Thermablok” on each stud before dry-walling (U. S. Dept. of Energy & J. M. Laboratory tests). “Aerogel,” used on the shuttle, is considered the highest insulating material known. Until now it was not flexible enough to use in building applications. Through a unique patented process it has been formulated into a ¼-inch thick fiber that reduces “thermal bridging” - a building’s prime energy loss - from one wall to another.
