If Chinese factories figure out how to mass produce aerogel, with similar durability and environmental footprints to Corning Foamglas (or similar foamed glass blocks), then I'd be all over that. So far though, I can't get very good field reports of people using the much cheaper pellet-form factor aerogel products commonly coming out of China. I don't know the true manufacturing costs of sheet and block form aerogel, but they're priced so high that even multi-generational payback periods didn't pencil out even close, even granting them a 30% premium. Current manufacturers simply aren't aiming those form factors at building insulation as far as I can tell, though I'd love to be shown wrong. For the time being, when I need near-aerogel-like qualities insulation but without the volume penalty foamed glass incurs, but can't justify the cost of aerogel due to the required quantity, I look to vacuum insulated panels to cover the big expanses of area and volume, and aerogel to fill in the gaps.
