Are your pipes properly lagged in the winter months?
With the colder months drawing in AIM are offering customers placing orders during November & December an extra 10% off using promo code WARMTHISWINTER*.
Every year we get hundreds of calls from people asking how to properly insulate their pipes. We look into this issue in depth at our blog pipeinsulation.blogspot.com, but a general rule of thumb is that the thinner the pipe, the more insulation you will require.
For example, if your pipe has a diameter of 35mm you would only need to use 9mm of good quality pipe insulation to give you overnight frost protection, whereas if you pipe is 15mm then you would need to use 25mm of insulation to avoid frost burst for the same period.
We have large stocks of the materials commonly used to prevent freezing, such as Climaflex, Armaflex Self Seal, Class 0 Eurobatex and Eurobatex HT. We also stock a large range of ancillary products such as tapes, adhesives and external facings for use with these materials.
Protecting your pipes against frost damage doesn’t have to be expensive (especially when you are getting an extra 10% off!) but burst pipes can cost hundreds of pounds worth of damage, and nobody likes a soggy turkey for Christmas dinner!
Visit us as www.insulationandlagging.co.uk and enter the promotional code WARMTHISWINTER* at the "Review & Submit Order" stage of the checkout to claim your 10% off.
