• Constructed from various materials including mineral wool fibre or Phenolic Foam with a foil covering. Foil-faced pipe insulation is usable on high-temperature pipes at temperatures up to 700C. Insulation prevents heat loss from pipes thus saving money.
• All our foil backed insulation is non-combustible, and the foil covering is class O rated. This insulation complies with current building fire regulations.
• We supply only industry-leading products used by HVAC Engineers and Installers
• Available in a wide range of sizes and thicknesses, covering all HVAC pipework requirements
• Foil Covered Pipe Insulation is water repellant but should be used with an additional waterproof covering. When used in the open, a protective coating such as PIB is recommended for this.

First, take an inventory of how many pipes need to be insulated. This includes all pipes that are exposed, such as the ones in your garage or attic, and any located in crawl spaces. Inside the house, check for access to pipes on external walls under your sinks since you can insulate those as well. Outside faucets should also be covered.

To insulate your pipes, you'll need sleeves made of fiberglass or foam rubber, which are available at your local home improvement store. Old rags, socks, or newspapers can be subbed if you'd rather recycle something you already have around the house, but make sure you have at least 1 inch of insulation material around each pipe. If you're not using self-sealing foam pipe insulation, you can duct tape it at regular intervals to hold it in place. Then, wrap the covered pipe in foil to keep it dry.

When prepping outdoors, cover any exposed pipes and extra insulation can be wrapped around the spigot (old socks can come in handy for this purpose). Then you can wrap it in foil for additional moisture protection. You may need to investigate additional measures to take during extreme cold, but insulating and covering pipes before wrapping them with foil is a great place to start.
