Great_scot_selfbuild Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago I am planning to fit a layer of 10mm aerogel to the outside of a steel column. Any recommendations on glue / other methods? (Please state if you’ve managed to do this before - my experience of contact adhesive is that it can behave very differently based on the material type and I’m not sure how well aerogel will take to it. https://www.buyinsulationonline.co.uk/product/spacetherm-aerogel-insulation?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22363171127&gbraid=0AAAAAolHs10y0c_FTCj4HYGnIHug1AoAk&gclid=CjwKCAjw6rfSBhAqEiwA_yocplauhT7e_l1Z4u49lcBwb0LQX6mldg5QaCV0ZC2lrjISc1cW3JRo5hoCFTQQAvD_BwE
Conor Posted 3 hours ago Posted 3 hours ago I used foil faced aerogel, easier to work with and stick down. I think I used double sided tape. 1

Conor Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago Internal on painted steels. Not a clue where I got it from, was five years ago.
Super_Paulie Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago i used a spray contact adhesive on my internal upright, stuck no problem.
JohnMo Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago Mine came with double sided tape. Although I actually upgraded most of it 25mm PIR in the end
Nickfromwales Posted 14 minutes ago Posted 14 minutes ago Just use XPS tile backer boards, ranging from 6,10,12.5,15,18,20,25mm and so on. You need zero air convection behind this, so horizontal lines of adhesive as well as vertical.
