In technical insulation, the weakest points are often the ones that matter most. While straight pipe and duct sections are usually insulated, complex or irregularly shaped components such as flanges, valves, pipe supports and bends are frequently left uninsulated – creating avoidable energy losses.

In our new technical paper, we explain why continuous insulation across the entire system is essential for efficient building services. The paper highlights the impact of insulation gaps and shows how flexible elastomeric foam (FEF) and polyethylene foam (PEF) insulation can prevent thermal bridges in practice.

Because FEF and PEF insulation materials are flexible, easy to cut and clean to install, they are particularly suitable for insulating complex system components on site. This helps improve system efficiency, reduce energy consumption and minimise unnecessary heat losses.
