Industrial insulation liners and products are an important part of your business. Choosing the right products will greatly affect the energy usage of your buildings and the risk factors of things such as moisture accumulation and mold growth. According to Metro Home Insulation and Waterproofing, insulating basement walls can reduce heating costs by 10% to 20%. Here are a few things you should look for in an industrial insulation blanket for your property.

Max Temperature Range

One of the most important factors to consider when purchasing an insulation blanket, is the temperature range. Insulation material should meet or exceed the highest standard operating temperatures your structure would be exposed to. A quality product should also be able to account for possible high-temperature extremes beyond normal operational temps as well. When an area is inadequately insulated it can be expensive and unsafe.

Protection From the Elements

You will also want to evaluate the protection that is offered from the elements. Your insulation covers need to be able to protect spaces and equipment from environmental factors such as moisture. You also want to make sure that the insulation blanket doesn’t impede the operation of any equipment in the area.

Safety Requirements

Check the manufacturer’s certifications for facility equipment in regard to safety. Some industries have more comprehensive UL and safety standards compared to others. Insulation covers should be produced with high-quality materials. For some industries, it might be necessary for insulation covers to be fire retardant.

Space Considerations

You’ll also need to consider space availability. The type and quantity of insulation that you can add to a system will be limited by space constraints. It’s often recommended that thin and flexible materials be used near tight system configurations or controls. In areas where there is more space, there's room to accommodate more insulation materials.

Price of the Material

Budgeting issues may also need to be considered as well. You’ll want to do some research to compare prices. Be sure to talk about the details of your space with the provider so that they can help you pick the products that work with your budget needs.
