Those who have learned about aerogel know that it is a popular insulation material in recent years, but it is not a new material. Previously, aerogel has been used in aerospace, petrochemical and other fields, the main reason is that aerogel production technology is difficult and expensive. With the support of national policies and the continuous improvement of production technology, aerogels are gradually commercialized, popularized and recognized by the public. Below, Utsen aerogels manufacturers explain the benefits of using aerogels for home construction.

1, excellent heat insulation performance

With rising energy costs and growing concerns about the environment, efficient insulation is no longer an option, but a necessity. Aerogel has a low thermal conductivity (0.015~0.025W/m·k), which can effectively block the conduction of heat and reduce the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor. Homes using aerogel maintain consistent internal temperatures, protecting residents from extreme outdoor environments. This means warm winters without excessive heating and cool summers without excessive reliance on air conditioning, reducing household energy consumption.

2, light weight

The porous structure of aerogel, air accounted for more than 90%, compared with traditional building materials, its weight is greatly reduced. This not only makes the construction easier, but also effectively reduces the weight of the whole building, reduces the foundation bearing pressure, and extends the service life of the building.

3. Sustainable and environmentally friendly

Our planet is in desperate need of help, and every energy saving measure counts. Aerogel insulation not only reduces the energy consumption of the home, but also has a wider positive impact on the environment. By reducing demands on the grid, we reduce greenhouse gas emissions, making aerogel a green option in every sense of the word.

4, long service life

Although the initial cost of aerogel is relatively high, its durability makes it a wise long-term investment. Aerogel waterproof, moisture-proof, corrosion resistance and other properties, so that its service life is greatly extended, reduce maintenance costs.

5, excellent fire retardant performance

The safety of home buildings has always been a concern. As a pure inorganic substance, aerogel will not burn at high temperature, and non-toxic, tasteless, non-expansion, no pollution to the environment. This gives aerogel a unique advantage in fire and flame retardant, providing additional security for home buildings.

The use of aerogel in home buildings can not only improve the thermal insulation, fire and flame retardant performance of the building, but also promote environmental protection, reduce carbon emissions and reduce energy consumption.
