Insulation in construction

Efficient solutions from va-Q-tec

As a pioneer in the vacuum insulation industry va-Q-tec develops innovative products for construction insulation. Our insulation solutions on the basis of vacuum insulation panels (VIPs) combine an excellent insulation performance with minimal insulation thickness and maximal adaptability. Especially in projects with very little space for insulation those innovative systems offer a decisive advantage.

va-Q-tec stands for highest product quality and ecological insulations, guaranteed by the unique va-Q-check® control system, and contributes sustainably to energy savings and climate protection.

Why is insulation in construction so important?

The insulation of buildings plays a vital role in improving the energy efficiency and reducing CO2 emissions. Insulation not only ensures a sustainable use of energy, but also increases living comfort by minimising temperature loss and by keeping the indoor climate stable.

An innovative solution is the vacuum insulation as it is offered by va-Q-tec. This high-tech insulation is based on insulation panels made of different materials as a core, which is enclosed by special barrier films. This reduces the thermal conductivity to a minimum. Compared to conventional insulation materials such as mineral wool or polystyrene, vacuum insulation panels offer a up to ten times better insulation.

This enables to achieve excellent insulation values even where space is limited, making them ideal for renovation projects or modern building concepts. In addition to their compact design, they impress with their durability and environmental friendliness. With its expertise, va-Q-tec supports building owners and architects in realising energy-efficient and sustainable building solutions. From facade to floor insulation, va-Q-tec offers solutions that take both ecological and economic aspects into account.

Insulation for facades and roofs

An efficient insulation of facades and the optimal roof insulation material reduces heating costs. The thin VIPs from va-Q-tec offer an excellent insulation performance. They are particularly useful in new construction or renovation projects where space is limited.

Insulation materials for floors

Floor insulation makes a significant contribution to reducing heat loss. Our vacuum-based solutions are suitable for both new construction and retrofitting in existing buildings. They are durable, robust and also ideal if underfloor heating is integrated.

Insulation inside

In heritage-protected buildings or where there are special architectural requirements, interior insulation is often the only way to achieve thermal optimisation. With VIPs from va-Q-tec, you preserve valuable living space – in line with the prevailing listed building requirements.

Winter garden and tiny house insulation

Winter gardens, as well as modern living concepts such as tiny houses, also require innovative solutions to achieve efficient insulation in the smallest of spaces. Our systems ensure an optimal climate – both in summer and in winter – and keep the warmth inside.

Sustainable insulation materials for environmentally conscious construction projects

Sustainability is a key issue in construction projects. Vacuum insulation from va-Q-tec is not only characterised by a high level of energy efficiency, but is also developed with environmental aspects in mind. Our insulation materials help to minimise energy consumption in building operation and reduce CO₂ emissions.

The durable and maintenance-free materials from va-Q-tec guarantee consistently high insulation performance over many years, which not only saves costs but also conserves resources.

Thanks to their extremely low thermal conductivity, they minimise energy loss, even where space is limited. This is how vacuum insulation from va-Q-tec promotes sustainable construction and makes a decisive contribution to energy-efficient and environmentally friendly buildings that meet the demands of modern architecture.
