Abstract
A vacuum insulation panel includes a blended wool media made up of fibers having at least two different average fiber diameters. The blended wool media includes small fibers which improve thermal performance of a vacuum insulation panel and large fibers which improve the mechanical strength of the insulating media and reduce the time required to produce a vacuum within the panel.
