Space Shuttle Enterprise Exhibit Includes Thermablok
Thermablok, an aerogel insulation product derived from NASA’s aerogel technology, has been included as a NASA technology spinoff product in the popular Space Shuttle Enterprise exhibit at the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in New York City. Aerogel, considered the highest insulating material known and one of the lightest solids, was successfully used by NASA for insulation purposes on the space shuttle, Mars Pathfinder and other rovers, and STARDUST spacecraft missions to combat extreme temperature environments and is sure to change the building industry.

Adding just one THERMABLOK AEROGEL STRIP (pat. pend.) 0.25" x 1.5", to only one side of each stud can virtually eliminate “thermal bridging” and increase the “R” value of a wall (regardless of insulation in the cavity) by an amazing 30 to 35% (DOE Oak Ridge laboratory test). Made in the USA, Thermablok is 100% recyclable, impervious to moisture/mold, and unaffected by age. Learn more:

Thermablok Stops Thermal Bridging
It is estimated that as much as 50% of the energy we consume in the U.S. is used to control the temperature in buildings. Of that, the major percentage escapes through walls and windows in a process termed THERMAL BRIDGING. This has always been a significant known problem. Until the introduction of NASA technology AEROGEL, there has never been any insulation that could go between a metal stud and the drywall or outside sheeting that would not compress during installation, thus losing its insulation properties.
NASA technology AEROGEL is not only the highest insulating material known, but also has the least amount of compressibility of any known insulation. It is used in the most extreme thermal environments, space suits, the Mars missions, space shuttles, the Star Catcher mission, and clothing now used on Mount Everest expeditions.
Used by the military, NASA, Apple, Google, Stantec, Siemens, Kiewit, Turner, Clark to name a few; this is without question THE ultimate breakthrough in insulation technology. Considered revolutionary, Thermablok Aerogel Strips are featured in NASA Space Shuttle Enterprise Exhibit at the popular Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in New York City.

Home Heating Costs Got You Down? Install Thermablok.
35% of home heating costs are the result of energy loss through the exterior walls because of thermal bridging. Thermablok Eliminates Thermal Bridging. Unlike virtually all other insulation, Thermablok has extremely high resistance to compression, allowing for many unique applications, especially the reduction of thermal bridging. Just 1/4 inch thick strip, added to one edge of each metal stud in a wall, can increase its R-value by 33% regardless of what cavity insulation is used. Thermablok aerogel insulating strips may be installed to the stud on the exterior, interior or both sides of the wall framing. Insulate the full length of framing members. Apply to all wall, floor or ceiling framing edges: headers, footers, trusses, window and door frames, floor joist and roof rafters.

Dining on Mars? NASA’s aerogel, one of the most insulating materials ever created, may be the solution. Not only can it raise temperatures on the Martian surface and melt the available water found there, it can also keep an area warm over long periods of time allowing humans to grow food.

Researchers are studying whether a wonder material used in Mars rovers could help warm parts of the Red Planet rich in water ice.

It should be no surprise to hear that aerogel, as a home and building insulation material, will be a standard for energy savings in the not-too-distant future. Aerogel’s cutting-edge insulating capabilities – aerogel is an advanced material with 15 entries in the “Guinness Book of Records, thanks to...
