Aerogel Insulation | Aerogel | Insulation

Aerogel insulation is widely recognised for its superior thermal properties, making it one of the most effective insulators available on the market today. At Build4Less, we are pleased to offer a comprehensive range of aerogel insulation products designed to meet the varying needs of both commercial and residential projects. Aerogel is a lightweight material known for delivering excellent insulation performance with minimal thickness, making it an ideal choice for applications where space is limited or premium insulation is required without bulky materials.

Spacetherm Blanket

The Spacetherm aerogel blanket is one of our most sought-after aerogel insulation blanket products, offering exceptional thermal performance. Spacetherm Insulation blankets are available in a variety of thicknesses, allowing you to tailor them to the specific requirements of your project. Each blanket measures 2.4m x 1.2m, providing substantial coverage for larger areas while maintaining ease of installation.

Practical Uses of Spacetherm Blanket:

Roof Insulation: Spacetherm Blankets are particularly well-suited for roof insulation, especially in retrofit projects where preserving the original roofline is important. Their slim profile makes them a perfect fit in cases where space is constrained, without sacrificing insulation performance.

Floor Insulation: These blankets are also highly effective for floor insulation. Their thin nature ensures that floor height isn’t significantly increased, which is critical for spaces where maintaining the existing height is a priority.

Speciality Applications: Beyond conventional residential and commercial use, Spacetherm Blankets are utilised in sectors such as transportation, aerospace, and other industrial fields where high-performance insulation is essential, but minimal bulk is required.

Spacetherm Wallboard

The Spacetherm Wallboard is another excellent option for aerogel insulation, combining the high thermal efficiency of aerogel with the structural rigidity required for wall applications. These wallboards also come in a variety of sizes, including the standard 2.4m x 1.2m dimensions, to accommodate different wall configurations and installation needs. The wallboards are designed for ease of installation and can be applied directly to existing walls, making them ideal for refurbishment projects where adding insulation is necessary but space or structural changes are limited.

Practical Uses of Spacetherm Wallboard:

Internal Wall Insulation: Spacetherm Wallboards are perfect for improving the thermal performance of existing internal walls. They allow for better insulation without the need for major structural alterations, which helps in maintaining space while significantly boosting energy efficiency.

External Wall Insulation: These wallboards can also be used in external insulation systems to dramatically improve the building envelope’s thermal performance. External wall applications are especially important for older buildings needing energy upgrades, as they prevent heat loss and improve overall energy efficiency.

Choosing the Right Aerogel Insulation Product

When selecting the most appropriate aerogel insulation product for your specific project, several factors should be taken into consideration to ensure optimal performance and compatibility with your building’s requirements.

• Space Constraints: If you are dealing with an area where space is extremely limited, the Spacetherm Blanket is an excellent choice due to its thin profile. It offers the high insulation performance of aerogel without significantly reducing available space, making it ideal for retrofitting projects or areas where aesthetics and space preservation are key concerns.
• Application Area: Consider the area where the insulation will be applied. For vertical surfaces or walls, Spacetherm Wallboards provide the rigidity and ease of installation needed for wall applications. If you're insulating flat surfaces like floors or roofs, Spacetherm Blankets may be a better option due to their flexibility and coverage area.
• Performance Requirements: Different projects may require different levels of thermal performance. For example, if your project requires top-tier insulation, such as in colder climates or for specialised industries, you may need a thicker version of the Spacetherm products. Thicker variations of Spacetherm Blankets or Spacetherm Wallboards offer greater insulation performance and can be tailored to meet stringent energy-efficiency requirements.
• Installation Method: Understanding how the insulation will be installed is critical. Aerogel insulation products from Spacetherm are known for being easy to install, but you should still ensure that they are compatible with the other building materials and methods being used in your project. Spacetherm Wallboards are designed for quick and easy installation on walls, while Spacetherm Blankets are versatile and can be applied to various surfaces.

Why Choose Aerogel Spacetherm Insulation?

Aerogel insulation offers a range of benefits over traditional insulation materials, making it a preferred choice for modern building projects. Here are some reasons why aerogel insulation is gaining popularity:

• Exceptional Thermal Performance: Aerogel’s structure is made up of 99% air, which provides it with remarkable insulating properties. This makes aerogel thermal insulation one of the most thermally efficient materials available on the market today.
• Space-Efficient: One of the key advantages of aerogel is that it provides high insulation values with minimal thickness. This makes it ideal for use in applications where space is limited, such as in renovation or retrofitting projects where maintaining the existing building structure is important.
• Lightweight and Durable: Aerogel insulation products are lightweight, making them easy to handle and install. Despite their lightness, they offer long-term durability and maintain their performance over time.
• Versatile Applications: From residential and commercial buildings to industrial sectors like transportation and aerospace, aerogel insulation can be used in a wide range of applications due to its high performance and adaptability.
• Environmentally Friendly: Aerogel is a sustainable insulation material that helps to reduce energy consumption and minimise the carbon footprint of buildings.

Why Pick Aerogel Over Traditional Insulation?

• Superb Thermal Performance – Aerogel’s nano-porous structure grants extremely low thermal conductivity (0.015 W/m·K), unmatched in insulation materials
• Space-Saving Design – Achieve high U-values without thickening walls or floors. Ideal for retrofit projects.
• Lightweight & Easy to Install – Sheets, rolls, or boards are easy to handle and to cut, no specialist equipment is needed.
• Long-Term Durability – Water-resistant, low maintenance, and maintains performance for decades.
• Eco-Friendly – Increases energy efficiency, cuts carbon emissions and supports sustainable builds.
