Prevent heat loss by insulating your hot pipes. We offer several options for maximizing efficiency:
- Glass wool or fiberglass pipe insulation: Lightweight materials that protect against high temperatures and resist mold. However, they can irritate the skin, eyes, and respiratory system.
- Mineral wool insulation: Resists extremely high temperatures and works well on hot pipes. Like glass wool and fiberglass, it can also irritate the system.
- Flexible elastomeric foams or rubber pipe insulation: While primarily used for freezing protection, these foams also prevent some heat loss. Note that they are not rated for as much heat as fiberglass.
- Polyethylene: A common cold insulator that also protects hot pipes from heat loss. This lightweight and water-resistant material is ideal for insulation in your home plumbing.
Choose the right insulation solution to keep your pipes protected and your system efficient. Contact Mr. Rooter® Plumbing of Central Oregon for more information.
