When it comes to technical insulation, precision is everything. There’s nothing worse than getting halfway through an installation only to find that something doesn’t line up – and in many cases, the root of the problem is incorrect insulation thickness.
Even a seemingly minor deviation in insulation thickness can compromise an entire system. In fact, specifying the wrong insulation thickness doesn’t just affect performance – it can result in the need to remove and reinstall pipework, often at significant cost and inconvenience to the installer. That’s why getting it right from the start is crucial.
The Cost of Getting It Wrong
Technical insulation is not just about wrapping pipes or ducts – it’s a calculated decision that affects energy efficiency, compliance, and long-term performance. A small oversight in product thickness specifications can snowball into major project delays and expenses. This is why specifiers and installers alike need to prioritize accuracy and consistency from the outset.
At Owens Corning®, paroc®, we understand how critical this aspect is.
That’s why we’ve developed a comprehensive UK Thickness Guide – a reliable resource designed to help you choose the correct insulation thickness every time, with confidence.
