Both indoor and outdoor cold-water pipes can freeze when faced with inclement weather. This isn't just the case when temperatures go below zero. Pipes can begin to freeze at slightly higher temperatures as well. Find out more about the types of insulation we offer for indoor and outdoor pipe insulation in Calgary below.
Indoor Pipe Insulation Calgary
At Mr. Rooter Plumbing, we care about providing homeowners with quality products and a proper installation process. Some of the common types of insulation used for indoor pipe insulation in Calgary include:
- Fiberglass Insulation: Many homeowners choose to opt for fiberglass insulation for indoor pipe insulation. Calgary residents will find this due to its resistance to high temperatures and durability.
- Rubber Insulation: Because of its flexibility, rubber is also a popular insulation material. This makes it the ideal choice for those pipes that are prone to bending or are in moisture-heavy areas.
- Spray Foam Insulation: This type of insulation is sprayed directly onto your interior pipes. This method offers excellent insulation and expands to fill in any gaps in the piping, making it ideal for tight spaces.
- Polyethylene Insulation: Polyethylene is a lightweight, flexible foam that controls condensation, as well as cold temperatures. Many homeowners choose to opt for polyethylene for a pipe insulation service in Calgary.
Outdoor Pipe Insulation Calgary
Although many of the same insulation types can be used for both outdoor and indoor pipe insulation, Calgary residents may also benefit from the following insulation types for outdoor pipes:
- Fiberglass With Protective Outer Layer: Fiberglass for outdoor pipes offers the same benefits as indoor fiberglass insulation, but when installed on exterior pipes, we will add an additional outer layer for pipe insulation, which will protect against thermal losses and high temperatures, as well as cold.
- Cellular Glass Insulation: Due to the closed glass cell structure of this type of insulation, it is highly resistant to moisture and vapor. It is also one of the most durable insulation types on the market and has a strong resistance to shrinking, swelling and deteriorating over time.
