The ongoing issue of hard-to-treat walls in the UK can be overcome utilising Spacetherm Aerogel - ultra-thin insulation for thermal upgrades, saving valuable space without altering the exterior fabric of the building. Its remarkable performance is achieved through the use of flexible aerogel blankets. The insulation used in Aerogel is made from material derived from silica gel.

What is Aerogel?
Although originally developed by Samuel Stephens Kistler in 1931, aerogel is more commonly associated with NASA who have invented groundbreaking methods of creating new types of aerogels that could change the way we think about insulation. Aerogel is a synthetic porous ultralight gel-like material created by removing the liquid component from gel and replacing it with gas, without any degradation to the gel structure. This produces an extremely low thermal conductivity which is perfect for thermal insulation.

Due to a shortage of the standard Spacetherm Aerogel, we are currently substituting this with Proctor Spacetherm A1 Fire-Rated Aerogel. Due to this, you may receive a white coloured blanket rather than grey.
