Design HVAC systems with Paroc’s designer specification tools & resources. Calculate insulation thickness, reduce heat loss and condensation, ensure compliance, and optimise performance using trusted technical data, specification guides and calculations.
When it comes to technical insulation, precision is everything. Few things are more frustrating than discovering partway through an installation that something doesn’t align. In many cases, the root cause is incorrect insulation thickness.
Even a small deviation can compromise system performance. More seriously, specifying the wrong thickness can lead to pipework being removed and reinstalled resulting in costly delays and unnecessary disruption. Getting it right from the start is essential.
The Cost of Getting It Wrong
Technical insulation is not simply about covering pipes and ducts. It is a calculated decision that directly impacts energy efficiency, regulatory compliance, and long-term system performance. Minor specification errors can quickly escalate into major project challenges, affecting both timelines and budgets. That’s why accuracy and consistency must be a priority for specifiers and installers alike with HVAC design and specification.
At Owens Corning® Paroc®, we understand how critical correct insulation thickness is. That’s why we’ve developed a comprehensive UK Thickness Guide according to the BS 5422:2023 standard – a trusted resource designed to help you select the correct insulation thickness with confidence, every time.
