Pipe insulation & Lagging: Do I Need it?
Pipe lagging is extremely adjustable elastrometric versatile material placed around pipe work to reduce transference in noise as well as heat gain and heat loss. It is functional and easy to assemble that minimises the disturbance of a noisy kitchen, laundry and bathroom pipe work and maintains the operating temperature in hot/cold water services, chilled water lines, refrigerant pipelines and air conditioning ducts.
Pipe lagging is made from many different materials such as:
- Flexible elastrometric foam
- Rigid foam
- Polyethylene
- Polyurethane injection
- Glass wool
- Rookwool blanket
- Rookwool pipe section
- Thermobreak
- Soundlag 4525C
- Mineral wool
Our customer needs are our top priority, which is why we offer a fully customised pipe insulation service so we can create a suitable thermal insulation system for every project.
How does it work?
Pipe insulation and lagging are essential systems that control and maintain extreme temperatures within each pipe — whether hot or cold temperatures. We use the best materials, factoring in your insulation needs, the equipment used, and the sort of plant you’re running. Then, we create a custom system with the correct materials to slow the transfer of the hot or cold, conserving and regulating that temperature.
The outside diameter of your pipe and service temperature will determine the type of pipe insulation material that is most suitable and thickness, which is why it is important to get yours measured before you buy. The insulation materials come in a wide range of thicknesses, once you have measured the pipe wall thickness, you can then choose the thickest material that can fit over your pipe and stay within your budget.
Our Pipe insulation Services
Different pipe materials and systems will need different insulation solutions. We have a high level of experience insulating pipes made of plastic, copper, aquatherm, fusiotherm, or rehau. It gives you better control over noise output and temperatures — from tanks and vessels to boilers, flues and refrigeration pipework. We insulate pipework for all commercial, industrial, and marine requirements.
Pipe insulation & Lagging: What are the Benefits?
Control Pipe Temperatures
Thermal pipe insulation protects metal pipes against heat loss, prevents moisture leaks and condensation problems so you can keep your team safe and operate your business as smoothly as possible. It also acts as a sort of frost control by maintaining the working temperature on the surface of your pipe system as temperatures can reach extremities on both ends. Therefore, by insulating and lagging your pipes, you can minimise the risk of burns from hot water plumbing, liquid and dual temperature piping.
Noise Reduction
Pipe insulation is a product that is designed to reduce the noise transmission acoustics that are emitted from ductwork, valves, fan housings and pipes for every type of location. There are regulations that are set out in the Building Code of Australia that determines how much noise can be made in common areas by a pipe system. Insulation creates a sound barrier, to minimise pipe-wall vibration noise, reducing the noise that comes from your pipes. T, this protects your team’s hearing and minimises the noise pollution in your building.
Why is Thermal Pipe Insulation Important?
- Copper is commonly used when transferring hot water central heating systems because of its high conductivity, however this type of pipe can potentially get extremely cold. This can lead to the water freezing resulting in a pipe burst and high price repairs.
- Corrosion on the pipe can occur in colder locations when water vapour condenses on the surface. If this takes place, it can enourage dampness within the walls. Insulation stops this from happening by raising the pipe's surface temperature and producing a water-vapour barrier.
- The exposed metal pipe can reach extreme temperatures on both ends of the scale.
Why is Acoustic Pipe Insulation Important?
- We often get asked questions about the importance of acoustic pipe solutions, and how they help. The simple answer is that acoustic pipe insulation prevents noisy pipes. Without acoustic pipes, you can sometimes hear water splashing through piping (particularly for bathroom pipes and hot water pipes). At times mechanical noises can also be heard coming from piping. Insulation can mimise the disruptive noises, creating a soundproof effect. Acoustic pipes create a highly resistant noise barrier to prevent noise from your water pipes and other pipes.
Energy Efficiency
Temperature reduction through hot water plumbing can greatly impact the energy efficiency of a building leading to expensive costs. By insulating and lagging your pipework, you can improve the quality and workflow of your equipment while conserving energy. This works to reduce carbon emissions and saves you money.
Five Year Warranty
You can feel confident with the pricing and quality your new pipe insulation, knowing we’ve guaranteed it for five years after the sale. If any issues arise with your insulation, we’ll come and have it fixed as soon as we can.
