What is Pipe Insulations?
Pipe insulation refers to a foam tube that goes around the exposed pipes travelling from your boiler to your hot water tank. It can save you money, and help stop your pipes from freezing.
Pipe insulation improves the operating efficiency of heating and cooling units to keep temperatures comfortable and stable with minimum energy usage.
The foam tube is installed to stop the heat coming off the pipe from escaping, meaning your hot water will stay warmer for longer resulting in saving money on your hot water bills.
There are various different materials used in pipe insulation, but mineral and glass wool, fibreglass, and foam are the most popular types. These selection of materials have different benefits and drawbacks, but which one you should get largely depends on the location, temperature, and size of your pipes.

Pipe Insulations Benefits
Depending on where your property is located, having your pipes insulated may be of even more significance. Those situated in colder climates will understand the important of insulation, therefore, pipe insulation is no different, adding insulation layers to your pipes provides many benefits as listed below.
- Protect Against Freezing – In many applications, pipes are exposed to extremely cold temperatures. For this reason, insulating your pipes is extremely beneficial as pipe insulation can keep cold air from penetrating and freezing the pipe.
- Reduce Rust – Another way in which pipe insulation is smart is that it can reduce the risk of condensation building up on a pipe. This can happen to any pipe, especially when pipes are regularly exposed to moisture or humidity.
- Save Money – By insulating your pipes, not only do you save money in heating it also helps save money in various other areas as well. For example, pipe insulation allows you to consume less energy, because your pipes will retain heat much better, therefore, you save money on your energy bills.
- Less Sound – Pipes are typically known for creating a lot of noise, whether that is from vibrations or banging-type noises. Commercial properties that people work in may experience this daily, therefore, insulating your pipes can help to create a better working environment.
Pipe insulation materials, such as fiberglass, are best for pipes exposed to hot temperatures, while foam and rubber are a better fit for cold water pipe lines but work in hot pipes as well.

As a rule of thumb – thicker insulation = less heat loss from pipes and greater protection from freezing temperatures. For outdoor pipework, we recommend a minimum insulation thickness of 19mm.

Foil and fiberglass insulation must be wrapped around the pipe with a ½” overlap in order to fully seal. However, both are effective in keeping your pipes from freezing.

It costs between 40p and £2.50 to insulate a single pipe, which will typically add up to £20 to insulate the primary pipework – that is, all the pipes between your hot water tank and boiler.
