A thermal/acoustic insulation product, such as for an aircraft, comprising a block of flexible, open-celled, cellular foam having a predefined shape and having a thermoformed amorphous film covering that completely envelops the foam block. A process for making the insulation product includes first cutting the block of foam to a predefined shape, such as a shape suitable for placement in an area of an aircraft in need of insulation. Then, a first sheet of film is heated to its melt point and conformed to a first surface area of the block, and a second sheet of film is heated to its melt point and conformed to a second surface area of the block, wherein the first film and the second film are joined to one another at one or more seams. The insulation product may then be installed in an aircraft.
