Sydney Pipe Lagging Supply and Installation by Solartex Insulation Solutions

Why is pipe-lagging necessary, and what does it do? A heavy mass-loaded vinyl membrane (MLV) laminated with a reflective foil and soft flexible 15mm dense foam make up pipe-lagging, a combination of thermal and acoustic insulation materials.

Most PVC waste pipes used in residential buildings have a diameter of 50, 60, or 100 mm and transport water and garbage between floors to sewer outlets. These pipes measure about. 2mm thick plastic PVC pipes that carry a lot of water and waste make noise when they are bent 90 degrees, dropped vertically, or pass through smaller pipes, sumps, traps, or s-bends.

The sound of waste streaming through dining and living room areas from upstairs bathrooms and ensuites which travels through these pipes can result in bothersome noise. To lessen the noise transmission through the piping, Solartex offers a pipe-lagging supply and installation service, in which PVC lines are wrapped. This method is done in compliance with Australian Specifications.

It is crucial for builders to at least tell clients of the value of wrapping acoustic sound insulation around PVC pipes and give them the option to do so. As pipe lagging is more hassle-free than choosing to do a whole retrofit which actually involves removing the ceiling and wrapping pipes.
