The breakthrough in aerogels the window industry has been waiting for

After years of development at MIT, AeroShield silica aerogel has properties that far surpass prior performance. Its optimized chemical recipe and synthesis make it more transparent than glass, 2x more insulating than air, and lighter than a marshmallow by volume. It’s the perfect solution for applications where insulation, transparency, and weight matter most, such as windows, doors, and skylights.

Aerogels have remarkable physical properties

Developed by NASA, aerogels have always been known for being the most insulating materials ever created, for being super lightweight, and heat and fire resistant. While perfect for insulating critical space exploration equipment, the material had a blue hue that prevented use for everyday applications, including windows.

Then we began our aerogel innovation program.

Traditional aerogels lack the transparency required for use with vision glass.

How It’s Made

AeroShield aerogel glass insulation is a solid material made up of 95% gas trapped inside pores that are so small they are invisible to the naked eye.

Our aerogel glass insulation is made into solid sheets large enough for use in standard-sized residential windows, doors, and skylights in an industrial-sized oven called a critical point dryer.

Our unique manufacturing process delivers the first of its kind: a solid, ultra-clear, super-insulating, and cost-effective aerogel sheet for use in windows, doors, and skylights, as well as other applications.
