Hello!

Maximising energy efficiency and minimising heat loss from pipework should always be a priority for specifiers, so choosing products that can help achieve this is key.

Kooltherm Pipe Insulation has been installed as part of a communal heating network on an ambitious mixed-tenure regeneration scheme called Acton Gardens. The project team, which included Mendick Waring Limited, LJJ Building Services Contractors and Chase Insulations, was keen to ensure the homes were affordable to purchase and run over the long-term. To achieve this, a communal heat distribution network has been used instead of installing individual boilers within each property. To reduce heat distribution losses across this network, Mendick Waring Limited specified 27,000 lm of Kooltherm Pipe Insulation for heating and water service pipework.

Samuel Hitch, managing director of pipework insulation installers,Chase Insulations said:

“On a scheme of this scale, it was important that we had products which could meet the energy performance criteria without hampering our work. The slimmer thickness of the Kingspan Kooltherm Pipe Insulation ensured we could quickly and efficiently lag pipework in even tight spaces, helping to keep the work on track.”
