Abstract

The increasingly stringent requirements of thermal engineering standards lead to ever greater thicknesses of thermal insulating layers in the structures, which makes the insulation of the manufacturer to improve material parameters. Thermally reflective insulation currently occupies only a small volume of products in the building industry, but their use in buildings where a large temperature gradient is created for thermal insulation offers many advantages. The pressure on the thermal insulation efficiency is increasing, so that their thickness is as small as possible.
