Wool Plumbing Insulation
Terra Lana pipe lagging is a natural wool felt utilising off-cuts from the textile and carpet manufacturing industries, reinforced with jute ~ a natural vegetable fibre (also known as hessian).
Tubular Pipe Lagging
Woollen pipe lagging prevents hot water from losing heat rapidly before it reaches the kitchen, bathroom or laundry taps. Pipe lagging made from wool is naturally safer and better for the environment. The lagging contains no harmful substances and requires no protective clothing or masks to install. Tubular is a rolled-length sleeve that is slid over pipes before connection.
Linear Pipe Lagging
Wool pipe lagging also shortens the waiting time before the water runs hot at the taps and helps prevent pipes from freezing in cold temperatures. To prevent heat loss, wrap the wool pipe lagging material along the whole length of the pipe, or at least the first metre if the rest of the pipe is inaccessible. Linear is a rolled length of 75mm width lagging that is spiral-wrapped around piping.
