Explore state-of-the-art thermal insulation products engineered for building facades, cold-chain logistics, and industrial thermal management.
The global commercial building and industrial sector is experiencing an unprecedented structural pivot toward hyper-efficient building envelopes and thermal containment systems. Driven by aggressive international carbon reduction mandates—such as the European Union’s Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD), the United States Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) tax credits, and East Asian Net-Zero 2050 roadmaps—the demand for advanced Insulated Glazing Panels (IGPs) and integrated Vacuum Insulation Panels (VIPs) has escalated rapidly.
Traditional double and triple-pane glazing assemblies, while historical mainstays of commercial architecture, are increasingly failing to meet modern operational energy limits. Conventional inert gas-filled units (such as Argon or Krypton-filled IGUs) typically achieve thermal transmittance values (U-values) between 1.1 W/m²K and 1.8 W/m²K. In contrast, next-generation Vacuum Insulated Panels (VIPs) and Vacuum Insulated Glass (VIG) push thermal barriers down to an astounding 0.3 W/m²K to 0.6 W/m²K—offering 5 to 10 times the insulation effectiveness at a fraction of the structural thickness.
Achieve Passive House standard U-values (<0.6 W/m²K) in panel thicknesses as low as 10mm to 20mm, preserving premium internal real estate and minimizing curtain wall structural load.
Directly addresses operational carbon emissions by reducing building HVAC thermal loads by up to 45%, fulfilling strict ESG criteria for BREEAM and LEED certifications.
Vacuum core structures naturally attenuate low-frequency sound transmission while integrating A1 class non-combustible inorganic core materials for maximum structural fire safety.
To assist procurement officers, facade engineers, and industrial designers in evaluating thermal barrier options, the matrix below details empirical technical metrics comparing Chinese-manufactured Vacuum Insulation Panels against legacy thermal materials.

Fumed silica core VIPs manufactured by Zerothermo possess an engineered service lifespan exceeding 30 to 50 years under standard environmental conditions. Unlike glass fiber core VIPs which degrade rapidly if trace moisture enters, fumed silica acts as a natural getter, maintaining deep vacuum integrity over decades.
No. Because VIPs rely on a factory-sealed inner vacuum (typically <0.1 Pa), cutting, drilling, or puncturing the panel on-site will cause loss of vacuum and increase thermal conductivity to ambient silica level (~0.020 W/m·K). All panels must be custom-manufactured to exact dimensions based on shop drawings prior to installation.
VIP panels are typically encapsulated inside unitized spandrel glass units, sandwich aluminum composite panels, or pre-fabricated insulated wall panels. This protects the vacuum barrier from physical puncture during transport and mounting while providing an ultra-sleek, thermal-bridge-free architectural finish.
Our inorganic fumed silica and microporous insulation panels are inherently non-combustible, achieving Class A1 fire resistance under EN 13501-1 standards. They release no toxic smoke or toxic drop hazards during severe high-temperature exposure.
All export shipments utilize multi-layer protective packaging: individual foam corner edge-guards, vacuum moisture barrier wraps, heavy-duty wooden crates, and shock/vibration indicator sensors to ensure zero physical puncture risk during transit.
VIPs consist of a non-transparent porous core core encapsulated in an opaque high-barrier film, designed for opaque wall facades, cold boxes, and equipment. VIG consists of two clear glass sheets separated by micro-pillars with a vacuum sealed space between them, designed for transparent window glazing.
Yes. Zerothermo specializes in non-standard shaped VIPs, including round shapes, L-shapes, and panels with pre-engineered perimeter sealing rings or central pass-through holes for mechanical fastings.
