Abstract
A vacuum insulated panel is disclosed herein. According to an embodiment, the vacuum insulated panel may include a frame having a first side and a second side. The vacuum insulated panel also may include a first convex sheet positioned about the first side of the frame and a second convex sheet positioned about the second side of the frame. Moreover, the vacuum insulated panel may include a cavity formed between the first convex sheet and the second convex sheet. Further, the vacuum insulated panel may include a vacuum formed within the cavity. The vacuum may be configured to at least partially flatten the first convex sheet and the second convex sheet into a substantially parallel planar configuration.

A method for assembling a vacuum insulated panel, the method comprising:
- positioning a first pre-formed convex sheet about a first side of a frame;
- positioning a second pre-formed convex sheet positioned about a second side of the frame;
- forming a cavity between the first pre-formed convex sheet and the second pre-formed convex sheet;
- forming a vacuum within the cavity between the first pre-formed convex sheet and the second pre-formed convex sheet;
- and
- flattening, at least partially, the first pre-formed convex sheet and the second pre-formed convex sheet into a substantially parallel planar configuration.
