Properly insulated pipework is critical to maintaining lower energy costs whilst ensuring optimal performance of the plumbing and HVAC system in your building. Rockwool pipe insulation can help just achieve that. This foil-faced pipe lagging is specially designed for thermal insulation around heating, ventilation and air-conditioning pipework.
Rocklap pipe lagging is a pre-formed pipe section of mineral wool insulation. It has a factory-applied foil facing that prevents your assembly from heat loss and also forms a protective barrier against moisture.
The best feature about Rockwool foil faced insulation apart from maintaining hot water hot is that it comes with an integral self-adhesive lap that ensures fast and easy installation. This foil pipe insulation is durable, anti-fungal and long-lasting.
Rock wool lagging has consistently given superior thermal and acoustic pipe insulation under varying conditions and environments for many years. Their thermal performance remains unaffected even in temperatures as high as 250°C and hence are known for their outstanding insulation of heating pipes. They perform exceptionally in the temperature range of 0°C to 250°C.
Rock wool pipe lagging is almost 97% recyclable. It is made from sustainably sourced materials and is therefore environmentally friendly. This wool pipe insulation does not contain any ODP or Global Warming Potential.

Rockwool Pipe Insulation - Aluminium Foil-Faced Pipe Lagging
H&V pipe insulation by the most sought-after insulation material manufacturer Rockwool Insulation is a high performance, strong length of pre-formed section specially made to give thermal insulation of heating pipes.
At Buy Insulation Online, we stock a full range this mineral wool pipe insulation at a low cost. We offer free and fast delivery to select postcodes.
It does not matter if you are looking to simply insulate small pipes in your household or looking for a large bore size for your project, we have the right fit of stone wool pipe lagging for you, right here!
Now, let's discuss Rockwool Pipe insulation in a little more in detail:
What is Rockwool pipe insulation?
Pipe insulation Rockwool is a mineral or stone wool pipe insulation section, manufactured by the world’s leading insulation brand, Rockwool Insulation. They are strong lengths of pre-formed insulation made to fit pipes of varying sizes.
Rockwool rocklap h&v pipe sections are manufactured in 1m lengths with the insulation thickness ranging from 15mm to 60mm. They have factory-applied foil facings that not only reflect radiant heat but also act as a vapour barrier, protecting the application from moisture ingress.
Why use Rockwool pipe insulation?
Some of the major benefits of using this pipe lagging are:
Thermal insulation:
Rocklap h&v pipe insulation sections are designed for thermal insulation to pipework operating at high temperatures. With a thermal conductivity of 0.033 - 0.034 W/mK, this stone wool insulation not only restricts heat loss in pipes, but also maintains the water temperature for a longer time, so you save the energy and time otherwise used to reheat water. This way the rock wool pipe insulation saves energy in 2 ways!
Plus, since the water is kept at the required optimum temperature, Rockwool lagging also protects your family from the harmful effects of Legionaries bacteria.
Acoustic Insulation:
Rocklap h&v pipe lagging is known to have exceptional acoustic insulation of heating and hot water pipes. It means that with Rockwool lagging you will no longer hear the sound of water using down the pipes.
Protection against Moisture: Technical pipe insulation by Rockwool is made using stone wool so by nature it is moisture-resistant. Additionally, it has factory-applied foil coverings, which means that the stonewool pipe lagging has aluminium foil on all sides.
These foil coverings not only reflect radiant heat but also act as a moisture barrier protecting the pipes and the wool pipe sections from moisture ingress. Since the entry of water is restricted growth of moulds, vermin etc is also restricted.
Additionally, since this pipe wrap covers the pipes completely, they do not come in direct contact with thier surroundings. This reduces the dew point which in turn helps restrict condensation in pipes.
Fire Resistance:
Silver pipe insulation is rated A2 by Euroclass, meaning it has limited combustibility and does not contribute to fire in any way.
Quick Installation:
Rocklap h&v pipe insulation are 1M long pipe sections that come with an integral lap that reduces the installation time by half. Just snap the sections onto the pipe you want to insulate, remove the backing paper and bring the end of the h&v sections together to form a completely sealed joint, easy, isn't it?
What sets foil faced Rockwool pipe insulation apart?
As mentioned earlier, Rockwool pipe insulation is made using high-quality mineral wool. When compared to fibreglass, mineral wool has slightly better thermal efficiency, better soundproofing capacity and better moisture resistance. Not to forget the fact that it does not release fibres as easily compared to fibreglass pipe insulation.
Additionally, Rockwool rocklap h&v pipe lagging has an integral self-adhesive overlap which helps reduce installation time. Also, this pipe covering gives better insulation to hot water pipes compared to foam pipe lagging.
Can I use Rockwool pipe insulation to insulate high-temperature pipes?
Yes, Rockwool lagging is ideal for pipework operating between 0°C to 250°C. So yes, you can use Rockwool pipe insulation to insulate high-temperature pipes.
How to choose Rockwool foil faced pipe insulation online?
To purchase Rockwool pipe Insulation online, you just need to know the outer diameter or the OD of your pipe and the insulation thickness you need. You will also need to know the type of pipe material you are insulating: copper or steel etc.
Steel pipes are slightly thicker so you may have to choose a slightly bigger silver pipe lagging from the options. The copper piping is however thinner, so the same size wool pipe insulation can be used. You can refer to the pipe size chart on this page to choose the right pipe. The right pipe insulation thickness also varies with your application
Simply choose the right size from the respective options above, and you will arrive at the right Rockwool pipe insulation sizes for your application.
For more information on these silver pipe lagging, you can refer to the Rockwool pipe insulation datasheet on this page.
If you have any doubts while purchasing pipe insulation online, our experts are ever-ready to clear your doubts. You can reach out to us via email, call, Whatsapp or Facebook, and we will be happy to assist you in any way we can.
How to install Rockwool Pipe Insulation?
Since Rockwool pipe insulation comes with an integral self-adhesive lap, installing it is pretty easy.
Before you begin installing this foil backed pipe insulation, ensure you have the right-sized pipe section. Clean the pipe surface and free it of dirt, dust, oil or other particles.
Measure the length of the pipework and cut the insulation to size using a sharp knife. Wrap the foil pipe insulation around the pipe, remove the backing paper on the Rockwool pipe insulation and seal the ends of the insulation together.
You can further secure them using foil tape. Do not forget to complete the installation using pipe identification labels ( in case of commercial or industrial pipe insulation)
Can Rockwool pipe Insulation be used for Outdoor pipes?
Yes, h+v pipe insulation by Rockwool can be used to insulate heating or hot water pipes outside a building. However, they have to be protected from damage and extreme weather conditions using appropriate pipe insulation cladding. You can use KlasseClad, PIB insulation or Proclad pipe jacketing systems for this purpose.
