Pipe Insulation

Insulating pipes is an important efficiency measure. However, most systems today still rely on conventional materials like fibreglass and foam pipe insulation. While these provide adequate performance, emerging innovative options deliver even better thermal protection, durability and sustainability. This article delves into cutting-edge pipe insulation materials on the horizon. We examine the performance attributes, as […]

For construction professionals, pipe insulation (also known as pipe lagging) is specified primarily for its energy efficiency benefits. However, it can also provide major water conservation impacts that should not be overlooked. Insulation controls pipe temperatures in ways that minimise water loss from leaks.  These savings can be substantial, especially for large-scale institutional and industrial […]

Condensation on pipes can cause various problems, from cosmetic damage to mould growth. Proper insulation for water pipes is key to preventing these issues by controlling surface temperatures and moisture. For this feature, we provide you with a comprehensive guide to understanding pipe condensation and choosing suitable insulation materials and installation methods to combat it […]

When you properly install pipe insulation (or pipe lagging), it provides invaluable efficiency and protection for plumbing and HVAC systems. However, even high-quality insulation eventually degrades and requires maintenance. To maximise savings and avoid problems like leaks or mould, it is essential to conduct inspections. This article provides a comprehensive guide to pipe insulation maintenance, […]
