If a product has a thermal conductivity of 0.035/w.mK or better (lower) you know it is good quality.</div><div> </div><div><br /></div><div>Is it worth insulating hot water or central heating pipes?</div><div> </div><div><br /></div><div>Yes, absolutely. If your hot water pipes are not insulated then heat will be escaping from the surface and you are wasting energy, which is wasting money. Even as little as 9mm will dramatically reduce heat loss and likely pay for itself in a matter of months. It’s easy to do it yourself as well!</div><div> </div><div><br /></div><div>Will insulating pipes keep them from freezing?</div><div><br /></div><div>Yes, providing that you use the correct thickness of insulation. Generally speaking the smaller your pipe is the higher the risk of it freezing as a smaller volume of water takes less time to freeze. Therefore, the smaller the pipe the thicker the insulation you require in order to minimize the risk of frost burst.</div><div> </div><div><br /></div><div>Water Bylaw 49 Frost Protection</div><div> </div><div><br /></div><div>Assuming "Extreme" Conditions of up to 12 hours down to -6°C without use</div><div><br /></div><div>Outside Diameter of Pipe Thickness of Insulation</div><div><br /></div><div>15 - 25</div><div><br /></div><div>22 - 19</div><div><br /></div><div>28 - 19</div><div><br /></div><div>34 - 13</div><div><br /></div><div>42 - 9</div><div><br /></div><div>54 - 9</div><div><br /></div><div>76 - 9</div><div><br /></div><div>What is the best insulation for winter / cold weather?</div><div> </div><div><br /></div><div>As you know what thickness you need it is worth thinking about the best product – Climaflex or Tubolit are great options. These are polyethylene pipe insulations and as such cheap and easy to install – they are either fully split or semi split so easy to install. They are best fixed with tape or glue, NEVER cable ties.</div><div> </div><div><br /></div><div>Should copper pipes be insulated?</div><div> </div><div><br /></div><div>Yes, you want cold pipes to stay cold and hot pipes to stay hot - by insulating you are limiting heat transfer between the pipe itself and the ambient environment. A cold pipe in a warm room it will gain heat but if you insulate it then this will greatly reduce the rate of transfer.</div><div> </div><div><br /></div><div>Should plumbers insulate pipes?</div><div> </div><div><br /></div><div>Plumbers do generally insulate pipework as it is good practice but it is not necessarily compulsory. Whether a plumber or anybody else is required to insulate a pipe is dependent on there being a specification - for example some boiler manufacturers may require the condensate overflow pipe to be properly lagged to prevent freezing in winter.</div><div><br /></div>pipeinsulationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01427732981768979825noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3249645216983973494.post-37477129490659232282023-10-25T05:04:00.000-07:002023-10-25T05:04:00.698-07:00Frost Protection For Domestic Pipes - A Guide to Preventing Copper and Iron Pipes from Freezing in Cold Weather<p></p><div style="text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_-ILZKkgYM1V_21YWZhuRicSzZfpFNL_CQtumq_zJHf28j4yLE58vToCs0R4u8ubvaSpi5jjSKidP_1snv0-u7fjtwj1V6HhHOWoHZiMvWsmCb0MYkoDhdH4DsBwvpA2NGNyw-wcDJ21TArqcDmnJpSJNjPiEsAdiq2ofFfXuV8FGu86NbotXV74gSnM/s864/pikist.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="864" data-original-width="864" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_-ILZKkgYM1V_21YWZhuRicSzZfpFNL_CQtumq_zJHf28j4yLE58vToCs0R4u8ubvaSpi5jjSKidP_1snv0-u7fjtwj1V6HhHOWoHZiMvWsmCb0MYkoDhdH4DsBwvpA2NGNyw-wcDJ21TArqcDmnJpSJNjPiEsAdiq2ofFfXuV8FGu86NbotXV74gSnM/s320/pikist.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><u>Frost Protection for Domestic Pipes</u></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">When dealing with frost protection on pipes inside a domestic building your aim with insulating them is to delay the onset of freezing for as long as possible; it is not possible to guarantee a pipe filled with static water will not freeze by insulation alone. The better the insulation, and / or the thicker the insulation used, the longer you will give yourself. Under normal circumstances you aim to give yourself about 8-10 hours protection against sub zero temperatures. With pipes inside a home this is usually long enough to be sure the pipes will not freeze as it is only when the water is not moving that you are at most risk.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">If pipes are not protected then ice formation inside the pipes will lead to an increase in pressure. As the water tries to flow this pressure will increase, and eventually will lead to a frost burst. A burst pipe can cause a lot of problems, not least of which is a lot of damage to your property which in turn incurs a great deal of cost which will be far in excess of the cost of some basic frost protection measures.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">Water regulations state that all water pipes (excluding warning or overflow pipes), taps and fittings should be protected against frost wherever it is practical to do so. Where this protection takes the form of pipe insulation, the below table gives a guide to what thickness of insulation ought to be used. </span><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">When we last produced one of these blog articles people still used Water Bylaw 49 as a reference point - in 2023 this is no longer in effect and we would instead look to BS5422: 2023 for the most up to date calculations. This standard gives us tables of the required thickness of insulation to accommodate both 8 hours and 12 hours protection against freezing for copper and steel pipes, given below. In the standard there are tables for starting points of 7C and 2C; the figures used here assume the lower starting point as a "Worst Case Scenario"</span></p><table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="MsoTable15Grid5DarkAccent4" style="border-collapse: collapse; border: none; mso-border-alt: solid white .5pt; mso-border-themecolor: background1; mso-padding-alt: 0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-table-layout-alt: fixed; mso-yfti-tbllook: 1184; width: 683px;">

</tbody></table><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">The only type of common material to come under the 0.025 W/m.K column would be phenolic foam pipe insulation, for example <a href="https://insulationandlagging.co.uk/Pipe-Insulation-Lagging/Supaphen-Phenolic-Foam" target="_blank"><b>Supaphen</b></a>. This type of material cannot be used outdoors without additional protection but the insulation itself is the most efficient insulation available; if used indoors you do not need to do anything else to it. This means you can insulate your pipes with far thinner material, ideal if you are tight on space. If you were to use the material outside then you must protect it with a suitable jacketing material such as <b><a href="https://insulationandlagging.co.uk/Pipe-Insulation-Lagging/Proclad-150-Cladding-Jacketing-System" target="_blank">ProClad 150</a></b>, <b><a href="https://insulationandlagging.co.uk/Pipe-Insulation-Lagging/Fosters-Vapor-Fas" target="_blank">Foster's Vaporfas</a></b> or <b><a href="https://insulationandlagging.co.uk/Pipe-Insulation-Lagging/Plysolene-Polyisobutylene-PIB-Sheet" target="_blank">PIB Rubber</a></b></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">Nitrile rubber or polyethylene foam pipes insulation such as <a href="https://insulationandlagging.co.uk/Pipe-Insulation-Lagging/Isopipe-Coated-Pipe-Insulation" target="_blank"><b>Isopipe TC Solar</b></a>, </span><a href="https://insulationandlagging.co.uk/Pipe-Insulation-Lagging/Climaflex-Pipe-Insulation" style="text-align: left;" target="_blank"><b>Climaflex</b></a>, <a href="https://insulationandlagging.co.uk/Pipe-Insulation-Lagging/Tubolit-Pipe-Insulation" target="_blank"><b>Tubolit</b></a><span style="text-align: left;"> or <a href="https://insulationandlagging.co.uk/Pipe-Insulation-Lagging/K-Flex-Class-0-Rubber-Pipe-Insulation"><b>K-Flex</b></a> </span><span style="text-align: left;">would be classed as 0.035W/m.K materials. This means using these types of product 15mm pipes need to be lagged with 25mm insulation, 22mm & 28mm pipes need at least 19mm insulation and 35mm & 42mm need 9mm insulation to protect against overnight freezing. Of these materials only Isopipe TC Solar can be used outdoors long term without additional protection, although Climaflex or Tubolit should last around 5 years if they do not get much sunlight.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;">Finally, EPDM materials such as <a href="https://insulationandlagging.co.uk/Pipe-Insulation-Lagging/HT-Armaflex" target="_blank"><b>HT/Armaflex</b></a> would come under the 0.040 W/m.K column. The material can be used outdoors long term without additional protection but the trade off is that the insulation value is not as high and thus you need to use thicker insulation to achieve the same results. It is also worth noting that this product is the only one listed in this blog that is not pre split.<br style="text-align: left;" /><br style="text-align: left;" /><span style="text-align: left;"> Places that would be particularly at risk of frost bursts are pipes installed near windows, air bricks, external doors, insulated roof spaces (where they are above the insulation and deprived of heat from the house), unheated cellars, unheated garages or outhouses; essentially anywhere where draughts are likely to cause heat to be taken away from the pipes.</span><br style="text-align: left;" /><br style="text-align: left;" /><span style="text-align: left;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ6S74pON6E0SREihTKvkqH2HfpFD5bD0jWlHIFmh6WurvFKdNExNTzoOdsbb288tA28hJJXKVATmEbeBazdWQSL0XA4TqIWQqPPONwXwaymGOfuiZe_HCXGoohYEsaj79ctNuXQmXceA/s1600/frozen-pipes.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ6S74pON6E0SREihTKvkqH2HfpFD5bD0jWlHIFmh6WurvFKdNExNTzoOdsbb288tA28hJJXKVATmEbeBazdWQSL0XA4TqIWQqPPONwXwaymGOfuiZe_HCXGoohYEsaj79ctNuXQmXceA/s320/frozen-pipes.jpg" width="298" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">In indoor areas where damp is a risk it is best to use a closed cell product that will not absorb water, such as Climaflex, Tubolit or K-Flex. Wet insulation is worse than having no insulation at all, as water fills all the air gaps and insulation works on the premise of trapping air which is really where your insulation value comes from. Also, as you increase the surface area by putting insulation on it will cool more quickly so freezing becomes more likely when then product is wet.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;">Protecting your pipes from freezing is not difficult and does not have to be expensive.

If a product has a thermal conductivity of 0.035/w.mK or better (lower) you know it is good quality.</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 18px;"> </span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: OpenSansRegular; margin: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: center;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 18px;">Is it worth insulating hot water or central heating pipes?</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 18px;"> </span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: OpenSansRegular; margin: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: center;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 18px;">Yes, absolutely. If your hot water pipes are not insulated then heat will be escaping from the surface and you are wasting energy, which is wasting money. Even as little as 9mm will dramatically reduce heat loss and likely pay for itself in a matter of months. It’s easy to do it yourself as well!</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 18px;"> </span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: OpenSansRegular; margin: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: center;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 18px;">Will insulating pipes keep them from freezing?</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: OpenSansRegular; margin: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: center;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 18px;">Yes, providing that you use the correct thickness of insulation. Generally speaking the smaller your pipe is the higher the risk of it freezing as a smaller volume of water takes less time to freeze.

These are polyethylene pipe insulations and as such cheap and easy to install – they are either fully split or semi split so easy to install. They are best fixed with tape or glue, NEVER cable ties.</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 18px;"> </span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: OpenSansRegular; margin: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: center;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 18px;">Should copper pipes be insulated?</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 18px;"> </span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: OpenSansRegular; margin: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: center;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 18px;">Yes, you want cold pipes to stay cold and hot pipes to stay hot - by insulating you are limiting heat transfer between the pipe itself and the ambient environment. A cold pipe in a warm room it will gain heat but if you insulate it then this will greatly reduce the rate of transfer.</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 18px;"> </span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: OpenSansRegular; margin: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: center;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 18px;">Should plumbers insulate pipes?</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 18px;"> </span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: OpenSansRegular; margin: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: center;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 18px;">Plumbers do generally insulate pipework as it is good practice but it is not necessarily compulsory. Whether a plumber or anybody else is required to insulate a pipe is dependent on there being a specification - for example some boiler manufacturers may require the condensate overflow pipe to be properly lagged to prevent freezing in winter.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: OpenSansRegular; margin: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: center;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 18px;"><br /></span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: OpenSansRegular;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">What is phenolic pipe insulation?</span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: OpenSansRegular;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Phenolic pipe insulation is a high performance HVAC pipe insulation supplied in 1m lengths and typically with a foil facing, also available as boards for duct insulation. It is significantly more efficient than other conventional pipe insulation materials. </span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: OpenSansRegular;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">How thick is phenolic foam pipe insulation?</span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: OpenSansRegular;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Phenolic foam is available in standard thicknesses of 15mm, 20mm, 25mm, 30mm, 40mm and 50mm. It is most commonly “cut from block” using a CNC machine which means non standard thicknesses can be produced on request<br /><br /></span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: OpenSansRegular;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">What is the R-value of phenolic pipe insulation?</span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: OpenSansRegular;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><br /></span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: OpenSansRegular;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">The R-Value of an insulation is it’s resistance to heat transfer at a certain thickness at a certain temperature; this makes it almost impossible to give any pipe insulation an accurate R-Value. Instead you would look at it’s constant which is it’s U-Value; in this case 0.025W/m.K at 10°C. W/m.K is “Watts per metre Kelvin” which means it is the given energy loss (in Watts) over a given distance (per metre) at a given temperature (Kelvins)</span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: OpenSansRegular;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"> </span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: OpenSansRegular;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Does phenolic insulation absorb water?</span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: OpenSansRegular;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 18px;"></span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: OpenSansRegular;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">The short answer is yes – it is resistant to the passage of moisture to a degree as it has a foil facing which acts as a vapor barrier but this is not waterproof and it is best that phenolic foam not get wet as it can become acidic given it includes phenol acid in it’s formulation. In ordinary, indoor use the material will not have a problem provided it is not a humid environment.</span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: OpenSansRegular; margin: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: center;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 18px;"><br /></span></p>pipeinsulationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01427732981768979825noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3249645216983973494.post-63704932781413862023-06-26T01:29:00.003-07:002023-06-26T01:32:51.434-07:0026th June is World Refrigeration Day<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3GpBi0WwgGsRDIFbjTT6hNFEkFoWQLM7f8g4YVLaG4ZAWnA_tFIb8fcJZZxPueHPBvZzzCWDLmEVKe8L_8uhDp9-5kNekyWI8Q18yCMH_O_1o5n59TgrC9pyReMF8vBg4EaqUHdJj5y6HaEyNO3DLybqnkhhWYkkcm4onyYlq1CMbAobK8Ah848qWFD8/s1024/WRD-Logo-no-date-1024x952.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="952" data-original-width="1024" height="298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3GpBi0WwgGsRDIFbjTT6hNFEkFoWQLM7f8g4YVLaG4ZAWnA_tFIb8fcJZZxPueHPBvZzzCWDLmEVKe8L_8uhDp9-5kNekyWI8Q18yCMH_O_1o5n59TgrC9pyReMF8vBg4EaqUHdJj5y6HaEyNO3DLybqnkhhWYkkcm4onyYlq1CMbAobK8Ah848qWFD8/s320/WRD-Logo-no-date-1024x952.png" width="320" /></a></div><p class="reader-text-block__paragraph" style="--artdeco-reset-typography_getfontsize: 1.6rem; --artdeco-reset-typography_getlineheight: 1.5; background-color: white; border: var(--artdeco-reset-base-border-zero); box-sizing: inherit; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.9); font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", "Fira Sans", Ubuntu, Oxygen, "Oxygen Sans", Cantarell, "Droid Sans", "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Lucida Grande", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: var(--font-size-large); line-height: 1.75; margin: 1.6rem 0px; padding: var(--artdeco-reset-base-padding-zero); vertical-align: var(--artdeco-reset-base-vertical-align-baseline);"> <a href="https://worldrefrigerationday.org/about/" style="background-color: var(--artdeco-reset-link-background-color-transparent); border: var(--artdeco-reset-link-border-zero); box-sizing: inherit; font-size: var(--artdeco-reset-base-font-size-hundred-percent); font-weight: var(--font-weight-bold); margin: var(--artdeco-reset-base-margin-zero); overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: var(--artdeco-reset-base-padding-zero); text-decoration: var(--artdeco-reset-link-text-decoration-none); touch-action: manipulation; vertical-align: var(--artdeco-reset-base-vertical-align-baseline);">World Refrigeration Day</a> is an international awareness campaign established by the World Refrigeration Day Secretariat to raise the profile of the refrigeration, air-conditioning and heat-pump sector and focuses attention on the significant role that the industry and its technology play in modern life and society.

Most pipe lagging sold in the UK is not suitable for long term use outdoors as it is either not UV stable and degrades in sunlight or not waterproof and becomes ineffective when wet (in actual fact wet insulation is <b>worse than no insulation</b> as the water acts as a conductor and will accelerate the freezing speed of a pipe).<p></p><p><b>What can I use to insulate a pipe outdoors? Will foam insulation keep pipes from freezing?</b></p><p>So, first things first. Anybody who tells you that you can stop a pipe freezing using insulation alone is just wrong. It is physically impossible. BUT - you can significantly prolong the time it takes for a pipe to freeze by using a suitable pipe insulation (such as the <a href="https://insulationandlagging.co.uk/Pipe-Insulation-Lagging/Isopipe-Coated-Pipe-Insulation" target="_blank">Isopipe</a> material). A good rules of thumb is that the smaller your pipe the quicker it will freeze as it means there is smaller volume of water. If possible it is worth trying to allow for a bigger pipe at the planning stage if you can. Another option is to install a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trace_heating" target="_blank">Thermal Heat Trace</a> underneath the insulation, these two products together form a very secure means of protecting your pipes from freezing.</p><p><b>How much insulation do I need on an external pipe?</b></p><p>Ideally as much as possible. Conventional wisdom regarding frost protection is to use 25mm thickness on a 15mm pipe and 19mm thickness on 22mm and 28mm pipe. 13mm thickness is recommended as the minimum for a 35mm pipe and beyond that the risk of freezing is lower and 9mm thickness should suffice. If you want to read into this in a little more detail you can read about it in our blog entitled <a href="https://pipeinsulation.blogspot.com/2011/09/frost-protection-for-domestic-pipes.html" target="_blank">Frost Protection for Domestic Pipes</a> . It is worth noting though that even if you were to use 25mm on a 15mm pipe (ie the thickest generally commercially available as a single layer) then this is still not enough to give you overnight frost protection as set out in the criteria of British Standard 6700 which is designed to give 12 hours protection against freezing at a continuous -6C. In theory you would need 62mm of insulation to achieve this but the reality is that using as much insulation as you can practically fit on to your pipe gives you your best chance.</p><p><b>How do I install pipe insulation outdoors?</b></p><p>The most important part of installing a pipe insulation, be it indoors or outdoors, is to leave no exposed pipe by closing up all seams and butt joints. The best way to do this for a conventional material is to glue and tape all joins for maximum protection. Using a product like Isopipe TC Solar Slit & Seal makes this a doddle as it is pre split with tapes along the seam of the insulation and along an overlap on the protective outer layer so that you can seal everything up with the minimum of fuss (although you will still need tape & glue for your butt joints). If you didn't want to go for the pre split, self-adhesive option there is also Isopipe Solar TC Tube which is available in <a href="https://insulationandlagging.co.uk/Pipe-Insulation-Lagging/Isopipe-Black-Coated-Pipe-Insulation" target="_blank">Black</a>, <a href="https://insulationandlagging.co.uk/Pipe-Insulation-Lagging/Isopipe-White-Coated-Pipe-Insulation" target="_blank">White</a> & <a href="https://insulationandlagging.co.uk/Pipe-Insulation-Lagging/Isopipe-Silver-Grey-Coated-Pipe-Insulation" target="_blank">Silver</a> coatings. This material is one you will need to split yourself if you are unable to feed it on from the end of the pipe as you might do if installing the lagging at the same time as the pipe itself.</p><p><b>How do I insulate a tank or large pipe outdoors?</b></p><p>If you are looking to insulate something larger than a typical domestic pipe outdoors (we can offer products up to and including 114mm outside pipe diameter for external use) then you may wish to use a <a href="https://insulationandlagging.co.uk/Pipe-Insulation-Lagging/Isopipe-Solar-TC-Sheet-Insulation" target="_blank">sheet material</a> which is also a good way of insulating water tanks or storage vessels that are kept outside. The material is supplied 1m wide and comes in 6mm - 32mm thicknesses as well as in either White, Silver or Black coatings that are all give the insulation itself extra protection against mechanical damage as well as being totally waterproof and totally UV stable when installed correctly.</p><p><b>What pipe insulation is required by the water authorities if I am burying my pipe?</b></p><p>This is a tricky one as all of the water authorities have different rules; the short answer is you are best getting them to confirm what types of product will comply and using that to make your choice. In most cases they will require that you use a closed cell insulation, it is best if this is a flexible foam (ie a polyethylene such as <a href="https://insulationandlagging.co.uk/Pipe-Insulation-Lagging/Climaflex-Pipe-Insulation" target="_blank">Climaflex</a> or a nitrile rubber such as <a href="https://insulationandlagging.co.uk/Pipe-Insulation-Lagging/Eurobatex-Class-0-2m-Lengths-pipe-lagging-insulation" target="_blank">Eurobatex</a> or <a href="https://insulationandlagging.co.uk/Pipe-Insulation-Lagging/K-Flex-Class-0-Rubber-Pipe-Insulation" target="_blank">K Flex</a>). If you are burying your pipe deeper than 750mm it may well be the case you do not have to insulate, but it is still a good idea if space and budget allow. Some will require that you used what is referred to as "Class 0 pipe lagging" or rubber pipe insulation - in both cases this means that you must use something like the Eurobatex or K Flex although Polyethylene is better in many ways as it has lower water absorption characteristics and is a foamed plastic so cannot rot. A product like the <a href="https://insulationandlagging.co.uk/Pipe-Insulation-Lagging/Isopipe-Coated-Pipe-Insulation" target="_blank">Isopipe</a> is best though as it is a flexible nitrile rubber pipe insulation with a special polyolefin (plastic) skin that makes it totally waterproof and very resistant to mechanical damage.</p><p><b>What type of pipe insulation is best?</b></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">This is very much a "horses for courses" situation; there is no such thing as an insulation that is best for every application. As mentioned above, flexible foams tend to suit outdoor applications. Polyethylene will last a number of years before it needs to be replaced and is very water resistant due to it's high μ factor - you want this number to be as high as possible for water resistance and Climaflex has a μ<span style="background-color: white; color: #202122;"> factor of 16,000 meaning it would take it around 90 days to absorb 1.5% by volume of water if saturated in it.</span></span> However, if you are putting insulation on a solar thermal collector's pipework then you would need to use an EPDM rubber based product, sometimes referred to as "<a href="https://insulationandlagging.co.uk/Pipe-Insulation-Lagging/Eurobatex-High-Temperature" target="_blank">High Temperature Rubber</a>", as this type of pipework gets so hot that it would melt or bake conventional insulation. If you need advice you can always call us on 01942 295926 -we are always happy to help.</p><p><b>Does pipe insulation really work?</b></p><p>Yes - but only when installed correctly. The main factors to consider are whether or not you have got the correct pipe lagging, whether the thickness is what you need for your application and whether it has been correctly installed. If the answer to all of these is yes then you ought to be fine. Proper preparation prevents poor performance. As stated above, you cannot guarantee a pipe will not freeze with insulation alone but when used correctly it is an incredibly effective tool. </p><p><b>What kind of foam is used for pipe insulation?</b></p><p>That depends on the insulation; the most common, grey pipe insulation in polyethylene - a type of foamed plastic. This insulation is a good insulator, cheap and does not degrade easily - it also usually contains recycled material. Foamed rubbers are most commonly PVC Expanded Nitrile Rubber - this material tends to be used for its flexibility and the fact it is Class 0 to the old BS476 Parts 6 & 7 which are reaction to flame spread and smoke release tests. This standard is now technically defunct as it was superseded by the EN 13501 Euroclass standard to which nitrile rubber should achieve Euroclass B (if it is of a good quality). You can also get High Temperature pipe insulation which is an EPDM foam rubber, or ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber to give it it's full name, which looks very similar to nitrile rubber but the trade off for it's high upper service temperature limit is that it loses some of the insulation value. These 3 products (polyethylene, nitrile rubber & EPDM rubber) are collectively known a flexible elastomeric foams.</p>pipeinsulationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01427732981768979825noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3249645216983973494.post-85641935033290456032020-04-02T06:32:00.000-07:002020-04-02T06:32:10.480-07:00Pipe Insulation Materials<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />At <a href="https://insulationandlagging.co.uk/Pipe-Insulation-Lagging">insulationandlagging.co.uk</a> we offer a range of materials, each suitable for different applications. Pipe insulation is very much "horses for courses"; what is perfect for one application may be totally unsuitable for another. <br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A few factors you may want to consider are:</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>What is your budget?</b> There is little point paying for an expensive material if a cheaper one will do the same job but equally it is a false economy to opt for a cheap product that will not do the job.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Where is the pipe you want to insulate?</b> If you are running pipework in an attic space then usually something like a common <a href="https://insulationandlagging.co.uk/Pipe-Insulation-Lagging/Climaflex-Pipe-Insulation">polyethylene foam</a> will do nicely but if you are insulating a plant room then a <a href="https://insulationandlagging.co.uk/Pipe-Insulation-Lagging/Knauf-Insulation">foil faced mineral fibre</a> or phenolic foam would suit better. If the pipework is outdoors you need to consider whether or not the material is UV stable and if not what sort of <a href="https://insulationandlagging.co.uk/Pipe-Insulation-Lagging/Jacketing-Cladding-for-Insulation">protection</a> is appropriate?</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Does the product need to be pre-split? </b>A lot of products come pre split for ease of application, especially in products geared towards heating applications, but not all. For a lot of <a href="https://insulationandlagging.co.uk/Pipe-Insulation-Lagging/Eurobatex-Bagged-Coil-Pipe-Insulation">air conditioning and refrigeration</a> applications the product is normally supplied in un-split tubes, likewise for <a href="https://insulationandlagging.co.uk/Pipe-Insulation-Lagging/Eurobatex-High-Temperature">solar thermal applications</a>.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>How will I seal the product once installed? </b>One of the biggest mistakes you can make is to leave gaps in your insulation - you should always seal any pipe insulation product to insure it works correctly. Very often <a href="https://insulationandlagging.co.uk/Pipe-Insulation-Lagging/Insulation-Tapes">tape</a> can be used though some products are better joined using adhesive. <i>Never</i> use cable ties - these damage the material over time as it expands and contracts with heat gain and heat loss.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>What are you looking to achieve by insulating? </b>Perhaps the most basic and important question of all. If you are looking to eliminate condensation forming for example then a matt black material such as a <a href="https://insulationandlagging.co.uk/Pipe-Insulation-Lagging/K-Flex-Class-0-Rubber-Pipe-Insulation">nitrile rubber</a> is best but if you were looking for something to give you the lowest possible heat loss then a <a href="https://insulationandlagging.co.uk/Pipe-Insulation-Lagging/Phenolic-Pipe-Insulation">phenolic foam</a> would be better. You might be looking to reduce noise from a pipe - if this is the case you need something with a high density; mineral fibre of better yet <a href="https://insulationandlagging.co.uk/Acoustic-Insulation/Acoustic-Insualtion-Pipe-Wrap">a product with a polymeric barrier</a> incorporated into would be best for this application.</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Fitting the putty cords will reinstate the fire rating of the partition and prevent the passage of smoke and flames in a fire and sound and air movement during service life. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The putty cord is designed to be easily fitted around service penetrations where the gap around the services is very small, or there is no gaps at all so a conventional fire rated sealant is impossible or difficult to fit due to the required depth and backing material. The putty cords are fitted covering the gap around the services and does not need to fill the gap to the required depth.</div>

Rock mineral wool is totally non-combustible: it has excellent <a href="http://www.insulationandlagging.co.uk/Fire-Protection" target="_blank">fire insulation</a> properties.<br />
<br />
Knauf Insulation’s <a href="http://www.insulationandlagging.co.uk/Pipe-Insulation-Lagging/Knauf-Rocksilk-PyroDuct-Slab-Insulation" target="_blank">Rocksilk® PyroDuct</a> is made from rock mineral wool: it’s been certified as providing steel ventilation ductwork – both Type A and B – with up to two hours fire protection. Rocksilk® PyroDuct is just one of Knauf Insulation’s market leading range of <a href="http://www.insulationandlagging.co.uk/Pipe-Insulation-Lagging/Knauf-Insulation" target="_blank">HVAC insulation products</a>.<br />
<br />
Rock mineral wool is justifiably well known for having excellent fire insulation properties and, having been tested in accordance with BS 476-4: 1970(1984), is classified as ‘non-combustible’. It’s a feature that Rocksilk® PyroDuct makes good use of. Rocksilk® PyroDuct is a high density, rock mineral wool insulation slab specifically designed to provide fire protection for steel ventilation ducts and can be used for horizontal and vertical ducts, ducts passing through compartment walls and floors and kitchen extract ductwork.<br />
<br />
Rocksilk® PyroDuct has also been tested in accordance with BS 476-24: 1987 and certified as giving up to two hours fire protection for both duct Type A (fire outside the duct) and B (fire within the duct). In addition, it’s classed as Class ‘1’ to BS 476-7: 1997 (Surface Spread of Flame) and Class ‘O’ of the Building Regulations.<br />

<br />
<br />
Rocksilk® PyroDuct is available with a bright, Class ‘O’, reinforced aluminium foil facing that makes it ideal for use above clean rooms and inside plenum chambers. The slabs and are available in a variety of thicknesses that can give between half-an-hour and two hours fire protection as required (and detailed in the manual). Needing only one thickness of slab has proved a real benefit on site as it helps prevent confusion about how many layers are needed to meet the two-hour specification. The slabs are lightweight compared to other fire insulation materials and this, combined with having only one layer to fix, makes installation quick and easy using a number of well known, tried and tested methods. And, of course, as an added bonus, rock mineral wool also has excellent thermal and acoustic insulation properties – as standard – which helps prevent heat loss and reduce noise transmission through the ventilation system.<br />
<br />
As one of Knauf Insulation’s rock mineral wool products, Rocksilk® PyroDuct benefited from the company’s investment at its rock mineral wool production facility at Queensferry in North Wales. The investment affected all parts of the production line enabling capacity to increase to 33,000 tonnes per year, improvements in product performance and the development of some significant and exciting new products. New, state-of-the-art fiberisation equipment has resulted in very high quality fibres being produced and this has resulted in a material that is more consistent in both density and performance.

<span style="color: blue;"><a href="http://www.insulationandlagging.co.uk/Pipe-Insulation-Lagging/Knauf-Insulation" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Mineral wool insulation</span></a> </span>manufacturer <a href="http://www.knaufinsulation.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Knauf Insulation</span></a> has agreed a long-term deal that will see £10m invested in a new glass cullet processing facility, next to its manufacturing plant in St Helens.<br />
<br />
The new facility, which will be operated by resource management company <a href="https://www.veolia.co.uk/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Veolia</span></a>, will create 18 jobs once complete at the end of 2017.<br />
<br />
Staff at the new facility will clean, dry and refine tens of thousands of tonnes of recycled glass, to be used by Knauf Insulation in the production of its energy saving insulation products.<br />
<br />
The crushed glass cullet will be melted and spun into the glass mineral wool products it sells to housebuilders and construction firms.<br />
<br />
The process of using glass cullet uses less energy than traditional methods of manufacturing mineral wool insulation, with the associated energy saving generated from recycling a single glass bottle equal to powering a 100-watt light bulb for almost an hour.<br />
<br />
John Sinfield, managing director at Knauf Insulation Northern Europe, said: “The construction of the new facility will help grow the St Helens’ economy by creating permanent jobs and using local firms to complete its construction.<br />
<br />
“Working with Veolia on this investment perfectly aligns with our goals for improving the efficiency and sustainability of our processes. And, given recent building product shortages impacting the construction sector, the announcement also highlights our commitment to proactively working to safeguard our supply.”<br />

Estelle Brachlianoff, senior executive vice-president at Veolia UK & Ireland, said: “We are delighted to be investing in the local economy and providing a closed loop solution for glass packaging from our Material Recovery Facilities including two we operate for Merseyside Recycling and Waste Authority and the Merseyside and Halton District Councils.<br />
<br />
“This will help save raw materials, lessen energy demand, cut carbon dioxide emissions and reduce the amount of materials going to landfill. This facility will be the first of its kind in the UK and means everything from glass bottles to jam jars will be transformed into energy saving insulation products for houses, offices and other buildings.”<br />
<br />
Cllr Graham Morgan, Chair of Merseyside Recycling and Waste Authority, said: “The authority is always working with its contractors to promote the circular economy in relation to the reuse and recycling of raw materials, and this new facility is an excellent example of local solutions that can reduce costs and the impact on the environment.<br />
<br />
“We’re also pleased that Veolia’s investment has created 18 direct local jobs at the facility, and many more along the supply chain in the area.”pipeinsulationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01427732981768979825noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3249645216983973494.post-69231368390226377632016-12-08T05:02:00.000-08:002016-12-08T05:02:31.439-08:00Knauf celebrates win at the 2016 CMA Awards in London<br />

<h3>
<br /></h3>
<h3>
Knauf has emerged victorious in the Best Social Media Campaign category for the Construction Marketing Awards for its light-hearted Facebook project which successfully grew Knauf’s online following.</h3>
<h3>
The victory was announced at an opulent black tie ceremony in London in early December. Each year, the brightest minds in the construction marketing industry gather to find out who has conducted the most innovative and intriguing marketing and communications campaigns.</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<br />
To win the CMA award, Knauf had to edge out four other highly competitive social media campaigns.<br />
<br />
The Knauf Summer of Sport was created with the intention of driving likes and followers to the brand new Knauf Facebook group amongst contractors and plasterers. With a summer filled with major sporting events to capitalise on, the Summer of Sport tapped into public enthusiasm by creating whiteboard videos, as well as offering sport-related prizes. <br />
<br />
The fun and innovative “whiteboard” videos referenced some of the summer’s major sporting events to demonstrate the performance benefits of several Knauf products. Viewers were then encouraged to like and share content in exchange for various prizes. This led to the rapid growth of the Knauf Facebook following and a huge increase of engagement in the channel.<br />
<br />
Hundreds of special edition Knauf-branded tennis ball sets and footballs were sent out to participating followers of the Knauf Facebook page. Followers were also given several opportunities to win larger prizes including TVs and Fitbits.<br />
<br />

<br />
Amrik Sanghera, Campaign Manager at Knauf was ecstatic with the Summer of Sport victory: “From the beginning of the campaign and throughout we decided to take a different approach to promoting our product in the Summer of Sport.<br />
<br />
The result was a summer of highly engaging digital content which presented our unique and innovative product range in a concise and friendly manner to the target audience. It was a great moment to hear our name being read out as winners.<br />
<br />
“We were overwhelmed by the positive response to the Summer of Sport campaign by the participants. It is great to see this enthusiasm is also reflected in the industry as well.”<br />
<br />
Supported by the Chartered Institute of Marketing Construction Industry Group, the Construction Marketing Awards shortlist represents the cutting edge of marketing strategies and campaigns in the construction industry for the year.<br />

<br />
The European Commission’s ‘winter package’ of energy proposals, due before the end of 2016, will be multi-faceted and wide-ranging, but <a href="http://www.insulationandlagging.co.uk/Pipe-Insulation-Lagging/Knauf-Insulation" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;"><b>Knauf Insulation</b></span></a> only wants one thing — an ambitious commitment to tackling energy waste in buildings.<br />
<br />
<br />
“Europe must put energy efficiency at the heart of any future decisions on our energy system and that means a historic commitment to stopping energy waste and improving Europe’s buildings this December,” said Sîan Hughes, Director of External Affairs for Knauf Insulation<br />
<br />
<br />
Speaking on the occasion of Renovate Europe Day, Sîan stressed that an ambitious Europe-wide building renovation programme would have a positive impact on Europeans for generations to come.<br />
<br />
“Buildings account for 40% of Europe’s energy use and 36% of its emissions. A genuinely visionary Europe-wide renovation programme will cut energy use and honour international climate commitments and, perhaps more importantly, create millions of jobs and drastically improve livings standards for millions of Europeans” she said.<br />
<br />
If energy efficiency is given the priority it deserves, the Commission’s energy proposals are an historic opportunity to give something positive to everyone across Europe, said Sîan.<br />
<br />
“2016 has been the year the UK took the decision to leave the EU. 2017 will be the year national elections reshape Europe’s political landscape. More than ever Europe’s leaders will need a positive story to win back hearts and minds and show that the European Union is doing something positive for everyone. Where better to start than a commitment to make our buildings better…”<br />

<br />
<b>Key facts:</b><br />
<br />
• Europe has signed the Paris Climate Agreement to keep global temperature increases under 20C. To achieve this two-thirds of Europe’s low carbon energy infrastructure to 2040 needs to be in energy efficiency, says the International Energy Agency.<br />
<br />
• A 50% reduction in energy use in European building stock would by itself cut Europe’s total CO2 emissions in half by 2030<br />
<br />
• Buildings consume 40% of Europe’s energy and 75% of these buildings were built with no minimal energy-related requirements. By 2050 at least 75% will continue to remain in use.<br />
<br />
• In 2012 more than €421 billion was spent on Europe’s energy imports. European Commission research found that gas imports would be slashed by 2.6% for every additional 1% in energy savings.pipeinsulationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01427732981768979825noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3249645216983973494.post-19752038117116950532016-10-12T02:29:00.000-07:002016-10-12T02:29:37.522-07:00Best of Knauf on display at the Offsite Construction Show<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAby2WqYkNZnzeJiWaavsfnXr5cdrUDltHF8Kj6GNkFrIHKUtTWuJ-d6gh6arLs6x1UEq0W9uIGsQHRrSMKu5QNrO1N44SBRl_My9A6o3rlJuC_NNLrL0ktftdJPI0dnAk1WAd3hDcz74/s1600/Knauf-factory.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAby2WqYkNZnzeJiWaavsfnXr5cdrUDltHF8Kj6GNkFrIHKUtTWuJ-d6gh6arLs6x1UEq0W9uIGsQHRrSMKu5QNrO1N44SBRl_My9A6o3rlJuC_NNLrL0ktftdJPI0dnAk1WAd3hDcz74/s400/Knauf-factory.jpg" width="400" /></a>Back by popular demand, Knauf, one of the UK’s leading manufacturers of lightweight building materials, will return to the Offsite Construction Show this week, displaying a number of its innovative products at the largest show dedicated to offsite construction in Europe.<br />

The Architectural Association, founded in 1847, is the oldest independent school of architecture in the UK, and is recognised globally for its teaching excellence. Esteemed architects such as Zaha Hadid, Nicholas Grimshaw and Elia Zenghelis, to name a few, have graced the school over the years.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
With this new partnership, Knauf will be in prime position to assist in the guidance and nurturing of the new talent that will influence building design throughout Britain and the world. It is also participating to enhance the education of younger children from disadvantaged backgrounds.<br />
<br />
The Little Architect Project is a fun and informative educational programme in UK primary schools aimed at teaching children the importance of architecture and urban design. The programme also places emphasis on the importance of sustainable building practices in the construction industry. Knauf prides itself on consistently producing sustainable products and systems.<br />
<br />
Knauf will offer its expertise to AA students, providing a seminar that will form part of their technical studies programme during the academic year. Students will also be encouraged to test their skills by producing a design made purely out of Knauf products, with the winner winning a cash prize.<br />

<br />
Proposing the Regal range of colours – developed by Knauf for its Presto render range – has enabled Cavanna Homes to work closely with South Hams District Council’s planning department to achieve a pleasing external aesthetic at its Origins development, set in the heart of the Devon village of Dartington.<br />
<br />
“We’ve worked with <a href="http://www.insulationandlagging.co.uk/Pipe-Insulation-Lagging/Knauf-Insulation" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: blue;">Knauf products</span></b></a> before and planners in Devon have seen it in use on our developments across the county where it provides the right blend of rural appearance with a modern low maintenance performance,” explains Michael Bennett, Commercial and Technical Director for Cavanna Homes (Devon) Ltd. “We’re very pleased with the result – the Presto render, whether scratch or roughcast, delivers a very good consistent finish, particularly since we have specified Knauf’s Equaliser silicone paint as the final coat”.<br />
<br />
Developed to simplify what can be a difficult design decision, the Regal range is restricted to 16 colours that are most readily accepted by most UK planners. In the case of the Origins development of 63 plots, Cavanna selected Steel Grey, Snow White, Ivory and Camel for the two, three and four bedroom contemporary homes that will feature a variety of designs, complementing their surroundings with a mixture of finishes such as timber cladding, render, stone and natural slate roofs.<br />
<br />
Resulting from extensive research and development, Presto offers a scratch render specifically devised for the UK climate and housing stock, where this type of render is a finish traditional to housing in many towns and villages across the UK.<br />
<br />
Consisting of a lime-based render with high resistance to cracking, Presto render can be applied to the substrate either by trowel or mixing pump, such as those available from Knauf PFT, and then scratched back with a special trowel the next day to expose the coloured aggregate and to form ashlar lines and details to meet local requirements or other design criteria.<br />

<br />
<br />
Available in a standard grain size of 1.5mm, the Regal range of colours in Presto render also includes: Vanilla; County Cream; Lemon; Cream; Mushroom White; Sienna Red; Rose; Cool Blue; Pistachio; Stone; Platinum and Silver Blue. Each has been extensively tested to deliver quality and reliability as well as the traditional aesthetic appearance.<br />
<br />
Suitable for painting, rolling and spraying, the final Equaliser coat is a silicone resin façade paint that is specially designed for the equalisation (one-off rolling coat) of mineral finishing coats in white and tinted shades, in order to even out any differences in shade of the surface of the render caused by drying, weathering or processing. Highly vapour-permeable and water repellent, it dries to a low-tension finish and is structure preserving. Although highly economical, Equaliser has a premium, mineral appearance and is resistant to algae and fungi.pipeinsulationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01427732981768979825noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3249645216983973494.post-51442950689770034192016-09-09T02:04:00.002-07:002016-09-09T02:04:53.970-07:00Tour de Knauf - 400 miles for charityOn Friday the 9th of September, 27 riders from Knauf UK will set off on an epic 400 mile trek from Sittingbourne to Immingham, all in the name of charity and health.<br />
<br />
Taking inspiration from Team GB’s amazing medal haul in the cycling in Rio, Knauf employees are gearing up to take on the challenge. The four day ride is the reverse of Knauf’s accomplishment in 2012 when 20 Knauf riders made the trip from Immingham to Sittingbourne in an effort to raise money for charity.<br />
<br />
As part of the Knauf Wellbeing initiative established to improve the health and wellbeing of its employees, the Tour de Knauf is the latest activity organised for staff members. Adding to this, participants are raising funds to support Demelza Hospice Care for Children.<br />

<br />
The challenge has engaged the interest of riders and non-riders from all sectors of the Knauf businesses including employees from both Immingham and Sittingbourne as well as participants from the marketing and sales teams.<br />
<br />
The Tour de Knauf is all about getting healthy and raising money for a good cause. Demelza is a children’s hospice for charity in the south east of the UK, providing vital care to families across East Sussex, Kent and South East London.<br />
<br />
Responsible for organising the event is Sittingbourne Factory Manager John Maude, who also organised the 2012. John is looking forward to the event and explains that a lot of training has gone into getting riders into condition for the ride.<br />
<br />
“I think this is going to be another big challenge, riding 70 to 80 miles a day is a challenge for a lot of people and that is why training will definitely come into it,” John explains.<br />
<br />
“At Knauf we have undergone a lot of physical activities as part of the Knauf Wellbeing initiative but other events, like go-karting and football, people don’t necessarily have to train for which means success is short-lived. This cycle race is making people train hard for months prior to actually achieving their goal which makes it even more special.”<br />
<br />
On September 9th the 27 riders will set off from the factory in Sittingbourne and make their way north to Immingham. Two courses have been established in an effort to involve more riders with a 400 mile slog working in conjunction with a separate 300 mile journey. While attempting different routes, all riders will meet at points along the journey stopping at Colchester, Norwich and Boston for the nights.<br />
<br />
Training is well underway for most riders with a group training session taking place on Sunday the 21st of August from Sittingbourne. Improving physical condition and fitness levels a driver behind the Knauf Wellbeing initiative which was established in 2014. Starting out small with fresh fruit and dietary information, the Knauf Wellbeing programme has expanded to included events like the Tour de Knauf.<br />
<br />
“This is a great example of an activity that anybody can get involved. The only pre-requisite is that riders must be able to ride at least 10 miles an hour meaning that they will make it the required distance across eight hours,” John explains.<br />
<br />
“The idea has been to get people that are not riders and have never done something like this before and get them involved. People have been getting out on their bikes for the last three to four months to train and for most it has become their personal goal, it will be their biggest achievement this year.”<br />
<br />
Fundraising is well underway with efforts so far raising almost £700 on the way to the target of £1000. Knauf is seeking further support to reach its goal and a Just Giving page has been established to make this easier.

The forum, co-organized by Chance for Buildings, European Climate Foundation and Bulgarian Green Building Council with intensive support of <a href="http://www.insulationandlagging.co.uk/Pipe-Insulation-Lagging/Knauf-Insulation" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: blue;">Knauf Insulation</span></b></a>’s Public Affairs Director for Eastern Europe Ondrej Sramek, was a major breakthrough for the region and is now set to become a biennial event.<br />
<br />
“Forums such as these are popular in Western Europe, but because they are focused on specific regional topics and often prohibitively expensive, Eastern Europeans rarely attend,” says Ondrej. “There was a clear need to create an affordable event in our region that focused on the critical issues that really matter to Central and Eastern Europe. So, that is what we did.”<br />
<br />
Underlining the importance of the new initiative, Maroš Šefčovič, the Vice-President of the European Commission in charge of Energy Union opened the conference by saying: “Your forum provides a unique opportunity to share best practices, discuss cooperation across the region and create a truly regional energy efficiency community. This regional approach is the only way to advance towards our joint targets of efficiency and decarbonisation.”<br />
<br />
Other forum highlights included an address by Bulgarian Minister of Regional Development Lilyana Pavlova on the need for renovation of neglected building stock; a presentation on the benefits of energy efficiency by Samuel Thomas of the International Energy Agency and a discussion with business representatives and the European Commission’s DG Energy which underlined calls for the EU’s energy efficiency target to be increased to a more ambitious 40%.<br />
<br />

Knauf Insulation also hosted a well-attended session on lobbying for energy efficiency in the new age by our Director of Public Affairs in Germany, Christoph “Spessi” Spesshardt.<br />
<br />
All the events were set against a background of informal networking. The 11 Knauf Insulation representatives made the most of the opportunity to meet key policy makers across the region to discuss issues of energy efficiency, renovation and future opportunities. As one participant put it: “There was a Knauf person at almost every conversation I joined!”<br />
<br />
A participants’ survey revealed the event was a great success. The top two reasons why people came were indeed the focus on the CEE region and the mix of stakeholders from across government, business and civil society. A total of 92% said they learned something new; 95%, said the C4E exceeded or met expectations; 58% are planning to come again and 90% would recommend C4E Forum to colleagues.<br />
<br />
The forum is now set to become a biennial event with the next conference scheduled for 2018 and Knauf Insulation will be there again.<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The tournament will take place on the 2nd of September in the shadow of Wembley Stadium, home of English football and the scene of one of the country’s greatest footballing moment over the decades.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Since 2011 ambitious teams have gathered from around the country to battle for sporting glory all in the name of charity. Many of the UK’s most prominent manufacturers have thrown their weight behind the tournament and its charity efforts throughout its time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Knauf have provided an exclusive Thames sightseeing cruise as one of the prizes on offer for the raffle, which is raising additional funds for the charity. Over £19,000 has been raised so far for various charities since the Construction Cup kicked off five years ago.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All money raised for this year’s tournament will go to the Construction Youth Trust, a charity which helps young people in England and Wales to build a better future, providing them with access to training, education and employment opportunities in the UK construction industry.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As part of a wider effort in the construction industry to bolster diversity, all teams must have at least one female playing at all times, to be eligible for the tournament.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Knauf will field two teams in this year’s tournament with players drawn from both the Sittingbourne and Immingham plants.</div>

<br />
Outside, the building is finished in Aquapanel boards with Knauf Marmorit, a spray-applied render, completing the outer skin. Naturally, plasterboard is a prominent feature internally: Knauf Soundshield Plus cuts down impact and transmitted noise while the partitions comprise various versions of Knauf’s Performer system.<br />
The walls’ immaculate finish was achieved using Knauf Airless plaster, a ready mixed spray plaster made from crushed marble and polymer and organic binders.<br />
<br />
The ceilings consist of perforated panels from Knauf’s Cleaneo Akustic range which not only absorb sound but improve air quality through adsorbing VOCs – volatile organic compounds that are given off by paints, finishes and office equipment. On the upper floors of the building, Knauf’s GIFAfloor raised access flooring creates the space to run services.<br />

Providing 240m2 of classroom and practical teaching space, The Cube can cater for up to 20 students at a time – nine Carillion apprentices have already started a 14 week training programme – and will provide dedicated courses in areas such as drylining, modern projection plastering, dry floor screeding and framed building infill systems.<br />
<br />
A collaboration across all Knauf UK businesses, The Cube will teach both the theory and practice of all areas of lightweight dry construction. Ian Stokes, Knauf Managing Director, said: “There is a desperate shortage of skilled trades in the UK – in Europe as a whole for that matter. And if UK manufacturing is to lead the nation back into growth, there has to be a new wave of up and coming professionals ready to deploy the latest construction techniques”.<br />
<br />
“By providing the education, knowledge and training – from specification to installation – Knauf is not only underwriting the continued success of its products and business; but of the British building industry as a whole”.pipeinsulationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01427732981768979825noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3249645216983973494.post-84497284749441202672016-08-03T03:09:00.000-07:002016-08-03T03:09:46.746-07:00Domus Tiles' Showroom is on Solid Ground with Knauf<span style="color: blue;"><a href="http://www.knauf.co.uk/product-range-overview/flooring/knauf-gifafloor" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: blue;">Knauf GIFAfloor</span></b></a> </span>raised flooring system has been utilised in <a href="http://www.domustiles.co.uk/" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: blue;">Domus Tiles</span></b></a>’ newly extended and refurbished London showroom in Battersea, creating a unique space where design meets practicality.<br />

<br />
Used as a dry screed flooring solution, contractors installed the GIFAfloor system knowing it would save them time whilst delivering Domus with the load bearing solution required to support their very heavy stone displays and large visitor numbers.<br />
<br />
With the GIFAfloor system having been used at several other Domus showrooms across London, architects at Mailen Design, responsible for the design of the new facility, opted for the reliability of the Knauf floor system. The engineered flooring panels, manufactured from over 50% recycled materials, are extremely dimensionally stable and robust, more than capable of tackling the heavy foot traffic expected.<br />
<br />
The refurbished Domus showroom at Battersea presents the vast array of Domus materials, products, displays and room-sets designed to stimulate architects and interior design teams. From its elegant kitchen showroom to the new Stone Studio, the space will allow for the creative mind to flourish while being backed by extensive technical design support.<br />
<br />
Commercial Director at Domus, Alan Collie, explains the relationship between Domus and Knauf: “We have a very strong relationship with Knauf as it is a key ancillary support partner of Domus. The Knauf team provides us with great advice through its technical support service which in turn allows us to provide a detailed and comprehensive specification to architects.<br />
<br />
“Knauf GIFAfloor gives us the perfect subfloor for our range of flooring finishes and with floor tiles becoming larger in size and thinner in profile you now require a dry screed system that exceeds SR1 tolerances. With GIFAfloor, aside from the exceptionally fast installation speed, once it is installed you are given a perfect floor that can then be tiled directly onto.<br />
<br />
“In the last five years where we have had GIFAfloor installed at our Clerkenwell showroom we have seen more than one million visitors come through our doors and yet we have not had a single crack and that’s because it’s a perfectly stable floor. Domus has taken the position to continue to use Knauf products because of the example set in the Clerkenwell showroom which remains in the same condition today as when it was first installed.”<br />
<br />
Immensely strong and versatile, Knauf GIFAfloor system manufactured from natural gypsum based calcium sulphate is ideal for raised floor areas requiring continuous or hard finishes such as stone or large format porcelain. This partial-access raised floor system provides the ability to run services under the floor with ease.<br />

<br />
Knauf GIFAfloor panel systems are designed to span, be it across pedestals, joists or acoustic battens at maximum 600mm centres, creating extremely strong and dimensionally stable floors over voids up to 1200mm high. Due to the tongue and groove design the GIFAfloor system is flat and smooth once installed, with the added advantage that the joints will not track through the applied finish.<br />
<br />
Tasked with installing the GIFAfloor in Battersea was Accsys Projects Ltd one of the leading independent installers of raised access flooring in the UK. Construction Director at Accsys Projects, John Deely, said the company has had years of experience installing the GIFAfloor system as it works hand-in-hand with Domus products.<br />
<br />
“The Knauf GIFAfloor system is extremely efficient in reducing programme times over a more traditional method of installation such as screed. It also helps with refurbishment projects in occupied buildings where wet trade would create additional issues. It also provides a solid structure for the Domus products,” John explains.<br />
<br />
“The nature of the product also allows for design flexibility for each client as the void space can still be utilised to run both mechanical and electrical services. With traditional screed solutions this would not be possible.”<br />
<br />
Designed to incorporate access frames and access panels the GIFAflooring systems provide an easy route to the service void below the floor. Access systems are available in 600 x 600mm configurations as standard to suit most access requirements while bespoke sized access frames can be created to suit individual demands.<br />

<br />
Several products from Knauf, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of <a href="http://www.insulationandlagging.co.uk/Pipe-Insulation-Lagging/Knauf-Insulation" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: blue;">lightweight building materials</span></b></a>, were used on a project that has been nominated for the country’s most prestigious architectural prize.<br />
<br />
Trafalgar Place is the first phase of Lendlease's Elephant Park regeneration project in Central London, and is one of six shortlisted for the 2016 RIBA Stirling Prize, which was founded in 1996 to celebrate the architect who was deemed to have made the greatest contribution to the evolution of architecture over the past year.<br />
<br />
dRMM, the architects behind the design concept for Trafalgar Place, took a bold approach to their work, on behalf of client Lendlease. Much of the social housing in Elephant and Castle was hastily erected in the 1960s, to a low standard. Trafalgar Place sets a new and exciting path for urban regeneration in the area.<br />
<br />
A number of Knauf products were used on the Trafalgar Place project. Knauf Façades were used including Windliner, a 12.5mm gypsum sheathing board that acts as a weather protectant and ideal for steel infill construction methods.<br />
<br />
Furthermore, Knauf’s Steel Frame System and the new Airless Finish system were used, alongside numerous products from the Drywall range to satisfy a variety of acoustic and fire resistance requirements necessary.<br />
<br />
The winner of the RIBA Stirling Prize will be announced on October 6.pipeinsulationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01427732981768979825noreply@blogger.com0
