Contact Factory →As the economic engine of Italy, Milan is undergoing a profound environmental transition. Triggered by stringent European Union climate directives—including the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) aiming for zero-emission buildings by 2050—and municipal targets like the "Piano Aria e Clima," developers, architects, and specifiers in Milan are facing critical challenges. Traditional thermal insulation retrofits often clash with the preservation of Milan's historical architectural heritage, from Liberty-style residences in Porta Venezia to mid-century modern facades in Brera.
Herein lies the technical brilliance of Vacuum Insulated Glass (VIG). VIG utilizes a microscopic vacuum gap (typically 0.1mm to 0.3mm) between two glass panes, supported by a matrix of micro-pillars. This layout virtually eliminates thermal conduction and convection, achieving center-of-glass U-values ($U_g$) as low as 0.4 to 0.6 W/(m²·K). Crucially, this unmatched insulation performance is delivered within a profile of just 8.3mm to 12.3mm. For historical restoration projects across Lombardy, this allows contractors to replace outdated single-paned glazing with high-efficiency vacuum units *without* altering original timber or slim steel window sashes.
Concurrently, the modern architectural districts of Porta Nuova and CityLife are driving demand for structural VIG. High-rise developments utilize vacuum glass to optimize solar heat gain coefficients (SHGC) and lower structural loads, resulting in lightweight curtain walls with maximum light transmission and superior acoustic attenuation against urban traffic noise.
The global vacuum insulation industry is transitioning from niche innovation to mainstream commercial deployment. Advanced glass factories are implementing fully automated manufacturing lines capable of maintaining cleanroom standards to prevent dust contamination, which compromises the vacuum integrity. Key technical areas of development include:
Early VIG iterations suffered from annealing during the sealing process. Today's industry leaders use low-temperature sealing alloys and localized laser welding to ensure both glass panes maintain their full temper, providing safety glass certification (EN 12150) suitable for overhead and structural glazing.
Incorporating advanced getter materials within the edge seal captures outgassed molecules over time. This technological leap guarantees that VIG units maintain their ultra-low thermal transmittance rating for upwards of 25 to 30 years, matching the service life of standard architectural glazing.
By pairing VIG with an additional cavity containing argon gas and a Low-E coated pane, manufacturers are achieving breakthrough U-values of 0.35 W/(m²·K), matching the performance of thick insulation walls in a slim glazed footprint.
From a procurement perspective, global real estate developers and facade engineering firms are shifting from basic transactional purchasing to performance-based validation. Quality certificates from recognized European testing bodies (like IFT Rosenheim) are highly sought after. Large-scale procurement demands consistent quality, flat surfaces without distortion (minimizing optical anisotropy), and robust logistics to prevent edge damage during shipping.
Beyond standard architectural VIG, our engineering divisions provide specialized, tailormade thermal protection components for industrial, automotive, and appliance sectors.
High-efficiency thermal barrier mats custom-engineered for automotive battery packs, preventing thermal runaway and extending range in winter conditions.

Request Spec Sheet →As European developers seek reliable partners for large-scale glazing installations, our industrial capability stands as a benchmark of high-tech production. Headquartered in the Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area, with our primary manufacturing base situated in Nanchong City, Sichuan Province, Zerothermo Technology Co., Ltd. represents one of China's largest comprehensive production facilities for advanced vacuum technology application products.
Operating as a key subsidiary of the prestigious CBVAC Group, our Factory 4.0 infrastructure leverages advanced automated production methods. We utilize state-of-the-art robotic arrays for the layout of microscopic spacer pillars, computer-controlled inline thermal sealing chambers, and continuous laser inspection systems. This level of process automation mitigates human error and ensures uniform structural strength across tempered VIG panes and fumed silica panels.
For the Milan market, partnering with a Chinese manufacturer of this scale offers invaluable advantages in supply chain resilience. While local European glass processors face high energy costs and raw material supply constraints, our integrated supply chain guarantees stable pricing, reliable material availability, and scalable production capable of outputting hundreds of thousands of square meters of vacuum insulation panels annually. Our robust logistics network ensures safe, seaworthy containerized transport direct to construction sites or warehouse hubs throughout Northern Italy.
Our technical superiority and dedicated service framework guarantee successful implementation on every structural scale.
Our thermal solutions are optimized for the key economic sectors of Milan and Lombardy.
Lombardy hosts one of Europe's largest pharmaceutical clusters. Our fumed silica VIP cooler boxes guarantee safe sub-zero storage and transport of biological vaccines and critical pharmaceuticals, minimizing reliance on dry ice.
Meeting Milan's energy standards (Zona E) by replacing single-paned historic glass with high-efficiency VIG. Ideal for office buildings in CityLife and sustainable residential complexes targeting CasaClima certifications.
Supplying nano microporous boards and mats to local Lombardy manufacturing facilities, industrial kilns, and smelting units, lowering thermal energy waste and maximizing factory efficiency.
Maintaining micro-climates in museums, historical exhibition halls, and commercial showrooms near Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II through low-reflective, high-insulation vacuum glazed display panels.

Preserved 19th-century timber window profiles by integrating customized 8.3mm tempered vacuum insulated glass units, matching modern insulation mandates.
Installed fumed silica vacuum insulation panel insulation systems across thermal wall structures, maintaining temperature control zones within laboratory corridors.
Supplied advanced fumed silica vacuum-insulated cooler boxes to regional medical distribution hubs, maintaining consistent -70°C conditions for vaccine storage.
VIG provides the same thermal performance as triple-pane glazing ($U$-value of ~0.5 W/m²K) but with a profile of just 8.3mm to 10mm. This is vital for Milan's historic conservation projects where original slim window frames cannot accommodate thick triple-pane glass (typically 36mm+).
Our VIG units incorporate advanced alloy sealing materials and high-efficiency internal getters that maintain vacuum levels ($10^{-2}$ Pa or lower) over time. This keeps thermal degradation minimal, ensuring a service lifespan of over 25 to 30 years.
Fumed silica VIPs offer a lower thermal conductivity over the long term and have a larger pore structure, which is less sensitive to small amounts of air leakage compared to fiberglass core panels. They are also safer to handle during installation and are highly recommended for architectural facades and medical cold chain transport.
Yes. Our tempered VIG units comply with the European EN 12150 safety glass standards. The tempering process is carefully preserved through localized low-temperature edge sealing technology, ensuring the glass shatters into small safe fragments upon high-impact breakage.
