OPTIM-R Panels Deliver High Thermal Performance

Rigid vacuum panels with microporous core offer high performance in 20–50 mm thicknesses for applications where space limits traditional insulation options.

April 9, 2026

OPTIM-R vacuum insulation panels by Kingspan are designed to deliver high thermal performance in applications where space is limited.

The system consists of a rigid panel with a microporous core that is evacuated and sealed within a gas-tight envelope. This construction enables significantly higher thermal resistance compared to traditional insulation materials at reduced thickness.

OPTIM-R is intended for use in areas where conventional insulation cannot be installed due to space constraints, helping improve energy performance without increasing assembly depth.

The panels are available in thicknesses ranging from 20 mm to 50 mm, providing flexibility for different project requirements. The product is suited for roofing and building applications that require high insulation performance within tight design tolerances.
