Domestic appliances

More usable space inside compact appliances.

When insulation competes with storage or working volume, machined components and slim panels fit around the appliance hardware.

Application-matched component
01

Recover usable volume

Bring high thermal resistance into constrained walls, cavities and equipment clearances.

02

Reduce energy demand

Limit heat gain or loss across the appliance envelope and hot components.

03

Integrate the component

Use cut, machined or covered formats shaped around production geometry.

Appliance positions

Different temperature duties, one focus on space.

Siltherm formats cover cold storage, hot-water systems and local high-temperature components.

01 / Cold storage

Refrigerators and freezers

Slim vacuum panels add thermal resistance through the cabinet and door envelope while preserving storage volume.

02 / Hot water

Storage tanks and boilers

A compact insulation envelope helps retain stored heat without increasing the appliance footprint.

03 / Local heat

Induction and compact heating equipment

Machined Board 3D components fit around coils, electronics and tightly defined local interfaces.

Space-led design

Place thermal resistance where appliance volume is most valuable.

The heat source and available cavity determine the product route.

Thermal duty

Cold or hot zone

The local temperature and operating cycle define the insulation requirement.

Component

Thin or shaped insulation

Core, vacuum panel or machined board follows the available cavity.

User space

Protected appliance volume

Storage capacity, housing size and adjacent components remain available for the design.

Matched Siltherm formats

From core material to finished appliance components.

Choose the route that gives the required resistance in a component the production line can use.

Designed around production

Thermal performance must also fit the appliance build.

Siltherm works from the available cavity to a component format that fits production.
