Building Construction Aerogel Insulation Solution
From classical architectures to modern high-rise buildings, now fire prevention, energy saving and space saving are the three fundamental needs of architects and their owners. Heavy conventional insulation materials can improve energy efficiency but inevitably sacrifice space, which may affect the integrity of the building, and lower the owner’s living standard or investment income. As a leading aerogel material manufacturer in China, our factory provides building construction customers with the most efficient customized thermal insulation solutions, which are the most energy-saving, space-saving, and cost-saving.

Challenges Faced in Building Construction Insulation
As energy-saving, space-saving, cost-saving, and fire prevention are important in building construction, high-efficiency insulation and fire prevention become big challenges to conventional building insulation materials like EPS board, rock wool, etc.
Low Thermal Insulation Efficiency
As thermal insulation layers of conventional thermal insulation materials are normally heavy and thick, the thermal bridge effect is obvious, which will lower the insulation efficiency. What’s more, due to the aging as time passes by, their thermal insulation performance will also get lower and lower.
A Sacrifice of Building Space
As thermal insulation layers of conventional thermal insulation materials are normally heavy and thick, the installation operations are complex, and they will sacrifice building space, which may affect the integrity of the building, and lower the owner’s living standard or investment income.
Safety Hazards
Conventional insulation materials can release toxic substances, which will harm the health of humans. What’s worse, conventional organic insulation materials are with poor flame-retardant performance, which will make the situation worse when encountering fires, and leave people with less chance to escape.
Easy Aging and Short Service Life
Conventional organic thermal insulation materials are with poor heat resistance and UV resistance, while conventional inorganic thermal insulation materials are with poor hydrophobic properties. They are easily aging, shedding, and their service life is short.
Environmental Pollution Problem
During their service life, the shedding parts of conventional thermal insulation materials will harm the living environment, and when their service life ends, the wastes of the used conventional insulation materials can cause serious environmental pollution problems, especially those organic ones. Dealing with the waste will be troublesome and costly.
Aerogel Solution& Products Involved
To solve the core needs of our building construction insulation clients, we have developed a series of products such as aerogel insulation coating, aerogel insulation blanket, aerogel insulation panel, etc., which can build a high-efficiency heat insulation and fire prevention system in building construction.
Building Construction Insulation Aerogel Solution
- To greatly reduce energy loss and save space to the utmost
With nanoporous silica(SiO2) aerogel as the core material, the thermal conductivities of our aerogel insulation materials for building construction are extremely low, and their thermal insulation performance is 2~5 times that of conventional insulation materials, thus, they can greatly reduce the energy loss. And with only 1/5 to 1/3 insulation thickness of conventional insulation materials, the construction space can be saved to the utmost.
- To prevent buildings from fires and moisture
Our aerogel insulation materials are flame-retardant and hydrophobic. They can effectively insulate moisture and prevent buildings from fires, which makes the building environment safe and comfortable. - To save the total costs to the utmost
As the insulation thickness of our aerogel insulation materials is extremely thin, they can greatly save energy, save space, save the logistics and warehousing costs etc. to the utmost. What’s more, as it’s easy to install the thin aerogel insulation materials, and their service life can be as long as the building, they need no special maintenance after installation, thus, they can save labor costs, maintenance costs as well as the costs of changing new insulation materials.
