Vacuum Insulation Panel

Client Testimonials

First is the hole where the old icebox used to sit. We had to cut the bulkhead to get it out and the slope of the hull added to the challenge of maximizing both interior space for the unit yet adequate insulation. This is why VIP's were chosen.

The second photo is a styrofoam mockup with a cardboard cutup representing the holding plate for the freezer and rack that will sit over the holding plate so the food won't sit directly on the plate. The hole at top is where the tubes carrying the coolant will run into the compressor in the locker
behind. The fridge box is on the right. A second layer of 1" styrofoam represents the VIP panels.

The third shot is of the fitting of the VIP's on the actually fibreglass box. which consists of fibrglass over a core of 1-1 1/2" polyurethane foam.- R 7. (we were held up on building that by cold weather as we don't have a heater in our garage).

Fourth shot is of the box sitting in situ on the boat before adding the last end support and showing ensolite protection layer.

Fifth shows new bulkhead which we covered with stainless sheet on the stove side and new teak veneer on the other side.

We were delighted with your panels as they are a lot sturdier than ones a fellow boater had ordered and we especially appreciated the foil (anti-radiant energy) coating. The hull side of the boat takes on a fair bit of heat from sunshine so this should help considerably. It will be interesting
to see how the unit functions when we finally get it up and running. I plan on taking the boat to Alaska next summer so will appreciate having a freezer aboard. Thank you so much for completing our order with such precision .
