Most of the homes have a complex network of water pipes. Insulating this pipework to seal the heat is known as pipe lagging. Pipe insulation enhances the overall performance of the pipes and makes them durable while protecting them from extreme temperature conditions. The performance of the pipes improves and it helps in keeping the home warm and reduces energy bills. PVC pipe Insulation strongly resists UV rays and damage from water and chemicals. What are the dangers faced by un-insulated water pipes?
There are various reasons why insulating pipes becomes essential. A lot of danger can be caused when they are not insulated.
How does the lagging work? Lagging helps to minimize the risk of freezing and heat loss. The pipes must be properly insulated in areas prone to freezing down. The outdoor pipes should also be insulated. Lagging is particularly useful in the loft, and pipes leading to outside taps, as these areas may well be the coldest. What is the importance of PVC pipes? PVC also known as polyvinyl chloride, is a chlorinated hydrocarbon polymer in nature. In its natural form, it is rigid and breakable. When it gets added with additives, it becomes resilient and shapeable. PVC pipes are used as hot and cold water conduits for various purposes both residential and commercial. PVC pipes are flexible, convenient and easy to use, it helps in easy adjustment and is suitable for various terrains and soils. What is the need for PVC pipe insulation? 1 . PVC pipes are generally used for venting, draining and waste removal in a wide range like shower drain lines, toilets, sinks and main water supply pipes. 2 . PVC pipe is lightweight, and easy to install and transport. It is resistant to blockages and high water pressure as it is very flexible. 3 . Insulating the pipes prevent damage and can avoid the problem of pipe sweating caused by moisture condensation. 4 . Moisture prevention helps to prevent moulds and mildew from forming in pipes and houses. 5 . Controlling the amount of moisture is essential for extreme water systems and thermal efficiency.
