Building and construction

High thermal resistance in the details that cannot grow thicker.

Thresholds, terraces and floor levels often leave little depth for insulation. Vacuum panels add thermal resistance at these constrained details.

Building construction model and architectural plans
Thickness-constrained envelope detail
01

Preserve floor and headroom

Add thermal resistance without a deep conventional insulation build-up.

02

Resolve difficult junctions

Treat roofs, terraces, hatches and other thickness-constrained details.

03

Support envelope continuity

Coordinate panel layout, joints and transitions around the complete construction.

Building locations

Use thin insulation where every millimetre affects the detail.

Vacuum panels are most valuable where build-up is restricted and the construction can protect the panel.

Flat roofs and terraces

Slim panels support thermal performance where thresholds, drainage and level changes restrict build-up.

High resistance in limited thickness preserves room dimensions and architectural interfaces.

Thresholds and local transitions

Targeted panels improve difficult local details when connected to the surrounding envelope.

Envelope continuity

A thin panel performs as part of the complete construction.

Panel protection and edge layout determine how the insulation performs in the building detail.

Interior

Conditioned space

Comfort and usable dimensions define the protected side of the detail.

Junction

Vacuum insulation layer

A slim panel adds resistance where conventional thickness is unavailable.

Exterior

Protected construction

Cover layers, moisture control and surrounding insulation complete the envelope.

Designed around the detail

The construction build-up defines the panel route.

Siltherm can evaluate the thickness constraint and intended location before detailed project information is exchanged.

Building-envelope discussion

Resolve the junction without giving away usable space.
