This invention relates to an insulated article. The insulated articles comprise either a twin walled construction and/or a protective pouch of packaging material encompassing a layer of insulating material. The insulating material comprises an aerogel material such as silica aerogel material and the function of the insulation is to minimize energy usage in the articles. One particularly preferred article is an oven constructed with an inner and an outer wall and a layer of aerogel insulation encapsulated in a packaging material therebetween. A transparent insulation may be used for the front door of the oven or alternatively a camera capturing images inside the oven may be provided in conjunction with a visual display for displaying the images captured by the camera. The energy consumption of the oven is reduced significantly. Similar techniques can also be applied to other articles of manufacture including hot water cylinders, beverage and food containers, radiators and fireplace surrounds to name a few. |
