For straight runs:Measure the length of the pipe you have to insulate. Wipe the pipe surface clean and free of any oil or debris. Cut the Kingspan Kooltherm section using a sharp utility knife and slide it over the pipe. Use foil tape or adhesive to seal the ends of the insulation together. Firstly, you need to ensure you have the proper size of the pipe lagging. As mentioned before, note the pipe material and size before you buy pipe insulation online or at a local store. Felt or Wool pipe insulation; These are “sleeves” or rolls of natural insulating materials which can be wrapped around the pipes to insulate them Are you looking for a 15mm pipe insulation product you can rely upon? Then look no further than our range of 15mm pipe lagging options. 15mm is one of the most common pipe sizes found in domestic plumbing and heating systems as well as industrial applications. Any pipe that isn't insulated will reduce the efficiency of your system, and this will ultimately cost you money by allowing heat to escape into the atmosphere. This Kooltherm Pipe Insulation Lagging from Kingspan is an outstanding insulation option for building services and HVAC systems. Its thin and efficient design makes it perfect for both new builds and renovation projects in different sectors such as leisure, residential, industrial, commercial and institutional.

The diameter of the pipe that this insulation will fit around. In the example below this is a 15 mm pipe. The most common sizes are 15, 22 and 28 mmKingspan pipe insulation is CFC/HCFC-free andhas a low Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP and low Global Warming Potential (GWP). The process of applying the lagging to your pipes is relatively straight forward, especially if you have the right tools for the job. However before you start it is worth making sure you are safe to start.

We have a video on our Youtube Channel you can watch called Everything You Need To Know About Phenolic Pipe InsulationWhere the pipes are fixed to the wall with clips this will get in the way of fitting the insulation. There are two options to deal with this: Kooltherm holds the highest possible BRE Green Guide rating of A+ and is manufactured to a BS EN ISO 14001: 2004 scheme, qualifying for the Responsible Sourcing credit. As mentioned above, Kingspan pipe insulation is the thinnest and most efficient product in the market today. If you have to insulate pipes in a constricted space, where there isn’t much room for pipe wrap, then Kooltherm is the way to go. Suitable for all types of pipework:

To prevent heat loss from any hot water pipes, or worst, any of the pipes freezing and potentially bursting they should be lagged. All Hot Water Pipes Additionally, this pipe insulation is supplied with a foil vapour barrier that not only stops the entry of water into the application but also reflects radiant heat thereby adding to its thermal performance. Generally you will find that there are two numbers written of the lagging. These refer to the size of the relevant sizes:Low thermal conductivity allowsKoolthermpipe insulation to achieve higher standards of thermal efficiency, fire resistance and compressive strength than most other insulation materials. Kingspan Kooltherm insulation has a low thermal conductivity of 0.025 W/m*K, making it the most thermally efficient pipe lagging available. Low thermal conductivity means this phenolic foam pipe lagging does not allow heat to pass through its fabric easily. Central heating pipes – all central heating pipes should be lagged as they go to the radiators. Eg pipes under wooden floors Kingspan Pipe Insulation is the most thermally efficient insulation material commonly used for insulating pipes with ahermal conductivity of just0.025 W/m·K (at 10°C mean in accordance with EN14314) You might see different types of pipe insulation, but typically the most cost effective option that you will be able to buy is the polyethylene foam type. You should be able to get this at any DIY shed.
