SPACELOFT BY ASPEN AEROGELS
Aerogels are porous nanomaterials that are made by removing the liquid from silica gels under high temperature and pressure, leaving a material that’s more than 90 percent air. It is an advanced material which holds 15 entries in the Guinness Book of Records for properties such as lowest density solid and best insulator.
Spaceloft by Aspen Aerogels has two to four times the insulating value per inch compared to fiberglass or foam. It is the best performing thermal insulation available on the market today — 13.5 K value.
Spaceloft’s thin profile offers the same U-value as traditional thick insulation with minimum interior space lost. It provides both energy and CO2 savings and payback in less than 12 months for typical applications.
Using patented nanotechnology, Spaceloft insulation combines a silica aerogel with reinforcing fibers to deliver industry- leading thermal performance in an easy-to-handle and environmentally safe product. Spaceloft is a proven, effective insulator in both residential and commercial building applications, providing the highest R-value of any insulation material for maximum energy efficiency in walls, floors, roofs, framing, and windows. The product is also fire resistant and allows water vapor to pass through.
