Thin insulation for corner window post to reduce thermal bridge. How?

    Hi all.  I would like some collective thoughts on reducing the thermal bridge of my keylite corner window lintel. The lintel is already fitted without the forethought of ordering the post inboard of the frames. I now want to insulate the post using a high performance thin insulation such as Aspen Aerogel so as to twice thermal bridge and condensation. I know little about the suitable available products, their application or suppliers.
    It's a 100mm post so will have full  2 faces exposed externally to the ambient temperature and internally will have an approx  20mm strip not covered by the window frames - this is where the condensation WILL form I presume.
     
    Can anyone help me with the following:
    A. Recommend a suitable product AND detail of the best application in this situation.
    B. Recommend a supplier for the product.  (Can a small amount be bought directly from Aspen? )

    Thanks for any help,
    Jiggins.
