Abstract
Insulated assemblies, insulation units including an assembly, and methods of forming the assemblies and units are disclosed. Exemplary assemblies include a first pane of material, a second pane of material, and one or more monolithic insulating layers interposed between the first pane of material and the second pane of material. The insulating layer can exhibit a thermal conductivity less than 26 mW/(K.m).
Claims20
An insulated assembly comprising:
- a first pane of material;
- a second pane of material;
- and
- one or more monolithic insulating layers interposed between the first pane of material and the second pane of material, the insulating layer having a thermal conductivity less than 26 mW/(K.m).
A method of forming an insulated assembly, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a first pane of material;
- forming a first monolithic insulating layer on a surface of the first pane of material;
- and
- providing a second pane of material,
- wherein the insulated assembly comprises the first monolithic insulating layer between the first pane of material and the second pane of material, and
- wherein a thermal conductivity of the insulated assembly is less than 26 mW/(K.m).
