VIW is a groundbreaking insulation solution that combines the aesthetic appeal of wallpaper with the high-performance insulation capabilities of vacuum insulation technology. It's designed to be a cost-effective, easy-to-install option for enhancing the thermal efficiency of buildings, homes, and even electric vehicles battery compartment thermal management.

VIW consists of three layers:

Front Layer: A customizable design surface that can feature any colour or pattern to match your interior decor.

Middle Layer: A 3mm thick vacuum insulation panel that provides exceptional thermal resistance, significantly reducing heat transfer.

Back Layer: A robust self-adhesive layer made from oil-based glue and fiberglass mesh, ensuring a strong, durable bond to wall surfaces.

Energy Efficiency: VIW's superior insulation reduces the need for heating and cooling, lowering energy bills and contributing to a more sustainable environment.

Easy Installation: The self-adhesive backing allows for simple, mess-free application without the need for professional installers.

Design Flexibility: With a wide range of design options, VIW enhances the aesthetic appeal of any space.

Durability: Resistant to fading, peeling, and moisture, ensuring longevity.

Thermal Efficiency: With a R&D experimental U-value of 0.341 W/m²K, VIW outperforms many traditional insulation materials, offering superior insulation in a thinner profile.

Aesthetic Integration: Unlike most insulation solutions, VIW also serves as a decorative element, eliminating the need for additional wall coverings.

Ease of Installation: VIW's peel-and-stick approach makes it accessible to DIY enthusiasts, unlike conventional insulation that often requires professional installation.

Yes, VIW is versatile and can be applied to walls, lofts, roofs, and internal partitions. Its waterproof qualities also make it suitable for moisture-prone areas like kitchens and bathrooms.

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and smooth.

Remove any loose paint, wallpaper, or debris.

For uneven surfaces, consider using additional adhesives to secure VIW effectively.

Absolutely. VIW is designed to minimize heat loss in cold climates and reduce cooling needs in hot, arid regions, making it a versatile solution for various environmental conditions.

Yes, VIW is designed for easy, DIY installation. Simply peel off the backing and apply it to the prepared surface. For best results, follow the detailed instructions provided with the product.

VIW requires minimal maintenance. It can be wiped down with a damp cloth to remove dust or stains, ensuring it continues to look great over time.

VIW's versatile design and superior insulation properties make it suitable for a wide range of applications, from residential and commercial buildings to specialized uses in battery compartment thermal management of electric vehicles and potentially in aviation. Here are some examples:

Homes and Residential Buildings: Enhance the energy efficiency and aesthetic appeal of living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, and bathrooms. VIW is particularly beneficial in loft conversions and older properties with solid walls that lack modern insulation.

Commercial Spaces: Ideal for offices, retail spaces, and restaurants, VIW can create a comfortable, energy-efficient environment that can contribute to lower operating costs and a more appealing interior design.

Electric Vehicles (EVs): VIW can be used as interior vehicle insulation and also in the thermal management of EV batteries, helping to maintain optimal temperatures, which can extend battery life and improve vehicle performance.

Villas and High-End Properties: With its customizable designs, VIW can complement the luxury aesthetics of high-end properties while providing the practical benefits of improved insulation.

Aeroplanes: While not traditionally used in aviation, the lightweight and efficient insulation properties of VIW could potentially be applied to improve energy performance in aircraft cabins, contributing to passenger comfort and energy savings.

While VIW is primarily designed for interior use due to its decorative front layer and insulation properties, it may have potential in certain covered exterior applications where it is protected from direct exposure to the elements. However, it is primarily recommended for interior insulation to maximize its lifespan and effectiveness.

Yes, VIW's waterproof qualities make it an excellent choice for areas prone to moisture, such as kitchens and bathrooms. It can withstand the humid conditions and is easy to clean, making it both a practical and stylish option for these spaces.

VIW can be applied over most smooth, clean, and dry surfaces. If the existing surface is uneven or has loose materials, additional preparation may be necessary to ensure the VIW adheres properly and provides effective insulation.

By significantly reducing heat transfer through walls, VIW helps maintain desired indoor temperatures with less reliance on heating and cooling systems. This not only reduces energy consumption but also contributes to a more comfortable living or working environment.

Absolutely. VIW aligns with the goals of sustainable and eco-friendly construction by improving building energy efficiency, reducing carbon footprint, and utilizing materials that are durable and long-lasting. It's an innovative solution that supports the construction of greener, more sustainable buildings.

Yes, you can hang objects like wall clocks or paintings on VIW without compromising its integrity. We recommend using adhesive wall screws, adhesive hanging nails, or self-adhesive hooks for this purpose. It's important to avoid drilling holes into the VIW, as this could breach the vacuum and diminish its insulation performance.

Drilling into VIW can cause it to lose its vacuum, which is essential for its high-insulation properties. A breach in the vacuum will result in a loss of insulation performance in the affected area.

If drilling is necessary, you will only affect the insulation performance in the specific tile where the hole is made. VIW is designed in tile form, each measuring 200 mm x 200 mm, to localize any damage and preserve the overall insulation of the wall.

The tile size of 200 mm x 200 mm is chosen strategically to minimize the impact of any damage. If one tile is compromised, it's a small, contained area, preventing the loss of insulation performance from spreading. This size also benefits transportation and handling, as larger tiles require more careful packaging and can increase costs.

The smaller tile size of VIW helps reduce transportation and handling costs. Larger tiles would necessitate more substantial packaging and care during shipping, which would, in turn, raise the price. By optimizing the tile size, we aim to keep VIW affordable without sacrificing quality.

Our goal with VIW is to provide a durable and long-term insulation solution. Once installed, VIW is designed to last for decades, offering households a sustainable and cost-effective way to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures and reduce energy consumption.
