double wall
Cavity between surfaces
Double wall describes construction using two parallel layers with a gap between them.
The design appears in insulated containers like thermoses and travel mugs, where the air space reduces heat transfer: This double wall tumbler keeps coffee hot for hours.
Buildings use double wall construction for insulation or soundproofing.
The term functions as both noun and adjective: a double wall, double wall insulation.
