Zusammenfassung: | A vacuum insulation assembly (10) for an appliance comprising a plurality of panels (14, 16) spaced apart from one another to define a cavity (18). A port opening (24) is defined by one of the panels (14, 16) of the plurality of panels (14, 16) and is in communication with the cavity (18). A vacuum insulation material (26) is positioned within the cavity (18). A stiffening material (28) is coupled to an inner surface (20, 22) of one or more panels (14, 16) of the plurality of panels (14, 16). The stiffening material (28) includes a polymer layer (30) that is heat activated, and a mesh layer (32) that is positioned over the polymer layer (30). |
