Why Choose Mr. Rooter Plumbing for Pipe Insulation
Choosing the Best Pipe Insulation to Prevent Freezing
Keep your plumbing from freezing with:
- Rigid foam pipe insulation. While it may not provide as much insulation as other materials, rigid foam provides thermal regulation even in thin layers. It’s also resistant to moisture and corrosion.
- Flexible elastomeric foams or rubber pipe insulation. Flexibility lengthens elastomeric foam’s life, making it less susceptible to cracks and breaks. It provides excellent thermal insulation, resists mold, and offers extra acoustic protection. Elastomeric foam has a high initial cost.
- Polyethylene. Another flexible plastic foam, polyethylene, is the most widely used insulation on residential pipes. It’s lightweight, durable, and offers freeze protection and condensation control.
Remember, insulating your pipes only protects against freezing. To prevent it entirely, take further steps, including leaving water on at a drip or heating the area of your home with exposed pipes.
Heat Pipe Insulation to Maximize Efficiency
Maximize efficiency by insulating hot pipes to prevent heat loss. Standard hot water pipe and radiator steam pipe insulation help keep the heat in your system. Typical heat protectors include:
- Glass wool or fiberglass pipe insulation. Fiberglass and glass wool are lightweight materials that protect against very high temperatures and resist mold. However, they will irritate your skin, eyes, and respiratory system, so they’re best used away from areas you frequently use.
- Mineral wool insulation. Mineral wool is known for resisting extremely high temperatures and works best on extremely hot pipes. Like glass wool and fiberglass, it irritates the body and should be used away from living areas.
- Flexible elastomeric foams or rubber pipe insulation. Several insulations that protect against freezing also insulate against heat. Elastomeric foams do prevent some heat loss, though they’re not rated for as much heat as fiberglass.
- Polyethylene. The most common cold insulator also protects hot pipes from heat loss. Insulate your home plumbing with this lightweight, durable, water-resistant material.
