FAQs - Frequently asked questions

Are Turvac Vacuum Insulation products environmentally friendly?

Sustainability is about more than thermal performance alone.

High-performance insulation can help reduce energy consumption throughout the lifetime of a building, contributing to lower operational costs and reduced CO₂ emissions. At the same time, material efficiency plays an important role. By delivering exceptional thermal performance in a slim profile, Vacuum Insulation Panels help achieve demanding insulation targets while using less space and fewer resources.

In addition, up to 90% of a Turvac VIP can be reused, supporting a more circular approach to construction and renovation projects.

Can Vacuum Insulation Panels be cut or modified on site?

No. Standard VIPs must not be cut, drilled or punctured, as damaging the barrier envelope causes the panel to lose its vacuum and significantly reduces its insulation performance.

Can Vacuum Insulation Panels be manufactured in custom sizes?

Yes. VIPs can be manufactured in project-specific dimensions, allowing the insulation layout to be optimized for the available space and helping to minimize gaps and thermal bridges.

How do Vacuum Insulation Panels compare with traditional insulation materials?

VIPs provide significantly higher thermal performance than conventional insulation materials at the same thickness. They are particularly valuable where installation space is limited or very high insulation performance is required.

How much thinner can insulation be when using VIPs?

Depending on the materials being compared, VIPs can achieve similar thermal performance with substantially less insulation thickness. This makes them an ideal solution when every millimetre of available space matters.

What is a Vacuum Insulation Panel (VIP) and how does it work?

A Vacuum Insulation Panel (VIP) is a high-performance insulation solution consisting of a porous core enclosed in a gas-tight barrier and evacuated to create a vacuum. By removing the air inside the panel, heat transfer is significantly reduced, delivering excellent thermal performance with minimal insulation thickness.
