Industrial Insulation Shapes 

Custom industrial insulation shapes can be used to insulate corners and turns of pipes, ductwork, storage containers, and more. This type of insulation is perfect for abnormal and circular spaces that traditional and straight insulation does not work well on. Custom insulation shapes can be used to insulate extremely hot or extremely cold applications.

Having insulation shapes custom-made makes a huge difference in performance and long-term cost savings. When shapes are CNC-machined and die-cut, you can be sure that they fit their desired applications perfectly. This means that there are no unnecessary gaps in insulation, which let out heat or cold air and force you to spend more on heating and cooling.

Custom foam insulation shapes can last for decades when protected and maintained properly. Over time, all insulation breaks down. To extend the lifespan of your insulation, make sure that you take steps to reduce condensation in the area as this has the potential to expedite the breakdown process. Additionally, before installing insulation shapes, you will need to make sure that the materials are properly rated for your application. If you are not sure how to find the perfect insulation shape(s) for your job, call the professionals.

The type of insulation jacketing needed to cover and protect insulation shapes will depend on where and how a shape is being used. Shapes used to insulate extremely hot or cold temperatures should be protected by metal jacketing. Metal jacketing is more apt to withstand extreme temperatures without melting or cracking. PVC jacketing is appropriate when an application falls more in the mid-range of temperatures. PVC, a plastic derivative, may crack in extreme cold, or warp in extreme heat.

It is important to know that custom insulation shapes cannot be used as the only form of insulation in industrial settings. This type of insulation is meant to be paired with other forms of insulation such as fiberglass or insulation wraps. Most insulation shapes need to be covered with fitted jackets of some kind.
