double-walled

Layered for insulation

Double-walled describes something constructed with two layers of material separated by a gap.

The design typically provides insulation or extra durability: a double-walled tumbler keeps drinks hot or cold longer, a double-walled tank prevents leaks from reaching the environment.

The space between walls may contain air, vacuum, or insulating material.
