Thermablok® Insulation for Residential Applications
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 over 32% 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. See Installation instructions page.
Thirty-five percent of home heating costs are the result of energy loss through the exterior walls because of thermal bridging. Thermablok Eliminates Thermal Bridging.

Standard Applications for Thermablok® Aerogel Insulation
Thermablok aerogel insulating strips can enhance or replace continuous insulation, yielding equivalent results while providing the certainty of using environmentally friendly materials. The Thermablok strips can be attached to the framing members on the inside face, the outside face or both.
See Installation Instructions under Support in the menu on top of this page.
Thermablok Sheets provide an R-Value of 10.3 per inch of insulation. Thermablok strips are compatible with Acoustiblok sound barrier material.
Thermablok® Strips and Sheets can be used with:
- Fiberglass batt
- Fiberglass sheet
- Radiant barrier insulation
- Foam insulation
- Organic batt insulation such as cellulose insulation
