Thermal Insulation for System Efficiency
Benefits of Thermal Insulation from Voltix Services
Lowered Energy Spend
Energy efficiency insulation reduces heating and cooling demand through effective heat retention and loss prevention.
Ensure that building insulation meets building compliance requirements and supports EPC ratings, as well as growing environmental regulations.
Waste prevention and optimised heating, cooling and operational processes support ESG aims and contribute to net-zero goals.
Pipework insulation helps to prevent condensation, which can lead to corrosion, mould growth and system degradation and damage.
We design thermal insulation systems to mitigate fire hazards and meet fire performance classifications as required.
Support HVAC Performance
Duct insulation solutions help HVAC systems work more efficiently and extend system lifespans.
Where required, certain building insulation solutions have acoustic benefits, such as sound dampening in plant areas.
Exterior infrastructure is especially vulnerable to freezing. Thermal insulation prevents heat losses and protects pipework from damage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about building insulation.
What is commercial thermal insulation?
Thermal insulation refers to the materials and systems used to reduce heat transfer in buildings, particularly in areas such as pipework, ducting, roofs, walls and floors. It enhances energy efficiency, reduces carbon emissions and improves indoor comfort in commercial and industrial settings.
Is building insulation a compliance requirement in the UK?
Yes. Commercial building insulation must comply with Building Regulations, especially Part L. This prescribes minimum thermal performance standards and sets out specific U-values, which measure the rate of heat transfer. Commercial landlords are also required to meet minimum EPC ratings in accordance with the MEES.
Are there any government incentives for thermal insulation?
While insulation-specific grants are limited, there are local and government initiatives for energy efficiency. Thermal insulation forms an important part of this. These can include grants, financing options and tax incentives. Businesses should explore opportunities like the Industrial Energy Transformation Fund (IETF), Low Carbon Workspaces Grant, or local council initiatives. Additionally, some schemes may be available for private and social landlords to retrofit insulation in rental properties.
What is thermal cladding and when is it used?
Thermal cladding is a weather-resistant metal or plastic jacketing system applied over insulation, commonly used in plantrooms or exposed external pipework to protect against moisture, impact, or UV degradation.
What is the purpose of building insulation?
Building insulation offers easy gains in energy efficiency for buildings. However, in commercial and industrial settings, thermal insulation performs a range of functions. These include:
- Energy Efficiency:
Insulation helps maintain desired water temperatures in both hot- and cold-water pipes, reducing energy consumption and costs. - Freeze Protection:
In colder climates, insulation slows down heat loss, preventing pipes from freezing and potentially bursting. - Condensation Control:
For cold water pipes, insulation with a vapour barrier helps prevent condensation, which can lead to corrosion and mould growth. - Noise Reduction:
Certain insulation materials can help dampen the sound of water flowing through pipes. - Fire Protection:
In certain situations, fire-resistant insulation may be necessary, particularly in areas with elevated fire hazards
