The AeroShield material was developed and patented at MIT to reach the highest clarity. This solid material is made up of 95% gas trapped inside pores that are so small the naked eye can’t see them. It’s these pores that reduce convection, while the glass nanoparticle backbone limits conduction and convection. The AeroShield material can be placed between two panes of glass, similar to a traditional double-pane, to create a product that is 50% more insulating than traditional windows, but with a payback period up to 5 times faster than windows of similar performance. This brings state-of-the-art thermal comfort, durability, and energy savings into homes at a price that consumers can afford.
