Re: GBlist: Translucent Thermal Insulation



Hello Spoon, I haven't followed the discussion carefully regarding the
following and don't know what insulating value you are looking for, but look
into Kalwal for an excellent light admiting substitute for glass windows.
Translucent they are and a higher R-value than any window.   Can be made in
most any size and shape too and look like Japanese shojii when installed.
