  1. Thermal bridges Thermal bridges - comparison foam / VIP  
 
  • Temperature difference drops on very short distance
   
=> Higher heat flows by thermal bridges
than with conventional thermal insulations
   
=> careful pyrometric consideration is necessary,
minimum of thermal bridges over mounting,
joints, break-through etc.
   
 
     
  2. Thermal bridges with parapet wall elements

3. Effect of humidity and temperature on the vacuum insulation (VIP)

The vacuum insulated panel va-Q-vip should be protected from high temperature und humidity, because then can be decreased the lifetime of VIPs. Even at low temperature constant high humidity has to be avoided on the panel surface. Use no alkaline, aqueous building adhesives, since these drain badly and endanger the seal seams.
