optical quality of vision through the material and the production process in order to
produce very large sheets of monolithic aerogels, without altering performance.
Finally, spread of innovative glazings with granular aerogel could be possible in
the near future if the manufacturers put emphasis on cost reduction; then, these
solutions could easily replace conventional solutions, especially in very cold
climates.
