Abstract

A heat-insulating wall has two spaced-apart, at least essentially vacuum-tight cover layers, between which an evacuable heat-insulation material is provided and which are connected to one another by a vacuum-tight connecting profile which runs along the free edges of the cover layers. The connecting profile has a membrane which spans at least essentially the distance between the cover layers. The connecting profile is made up of a plurality of profile sections adjoining one another in a vacuum-tight manner. At the adjoining ends of the profile sections, the membrane has an end section with a thickness of at least approximately the material thickness of the cover layers.
