Insulation.
A thoughtful layer for every space.
A practical starting point for developers, architects and interior designers evaluating wall, roof and renovation insulation. Start with the assembly, available depth and installation conditions.

01 / DESIGN CONTEXT
Start with the application.
Roofs & top-floor spaces
Roof renovation · residential · commercialConsider insulation alongside waterproofing, drainage, loads and maintenance. Review the existing assembly before choosing materials.
Discuss this application ↗Interior renovation & thin assemblies
Interior design · homes · limited spaceWhere floor area and finish depth matter, assess thin insulation together with condensation, joints and finish compatibility.
Discuss this application ↗02 / AEROGEL SPACE ADVANTAGE
Aerogel insulation.
More room for your design.
At the same material thermal-resistance target, an aerogel with lower conductivity than the conventional comparator can require a thinner layer. This can reduce build-up and preserve space in interior retrofits, window reveals and constrained details.
This illustrates a design principle, not guaranteed product performance. Calculate thickness from comparable material data and review joints, thermal bridges, fire requirements and moisture.
03 / MATERIAL REVIEW
Specify with evidence you can review.
| Thermal performance | Conductivity, mean test temperature, thickness and assembly resistance |
|---|---|
| Fire performance & location | Material classification, relevant reports and assembly requirements; insulation is not a fire certification |
| Moisture & durability | Water absorption, vapor behavior, condensation risk and service environment |
| Installation & finishes | Substrate, fixings, joints, protection and finish compatibility |
Datasheets and reports should identify grade, revision and conditions. Request available documentation through a project inquiry; unverified performance should not become a purchasing specification.
04 / DESIGNER FAQ
Questions from building teams.
What information helps evaluate a hot wall or roof?
Share location, orientation, photos, existing construction, available thickness and the problem. Drawings and temperature measurements can follow the initial discussion.
Can thin insulation replace every conventional material?
Not universally. Compare thickness, installation and cost at the same thermal target and service conditions. TiKOUS can discuss an evaluation approach for your project.
Does insulation resolve leaks or damp walls?
Insulation, waterproofing and moisture control serve different roles. Investigate leaks or dampness with the relevant professionals before covering a surface.
Can I request datasheets, samples or design information?
Send the application and intended thickness. We will respond according to the grade and available documentation. Samples, supply and testing are confirmed separately.
