Traditional Pipe Insulation
Traditional Pipe Insulation Traditional pipe insulation typically involves a hollow foam tube that wraps around central heating pipes, aimed at reducing the heating of air around the pipe. While this foam layer can retain a considerable amount of heat, it's not entirely efficient. The pipes, insulated though they may be, can still be over 10 degrees warmer than their surroundings, leading to significant heat loss through radiation.
TONZON Lagging Foil
The advanced solution TONZON Lagging Foil is a thin cutting-edge alternative, is designed to address and rectify the shortcomings of traditional foam insulation. This robust, thin foil radiates virtually no heat and retains up to 95% of the heat radiated by the pipes. When combined with traditional insulation, it ensures an almost complete cessation of heat loss from your central heating system.
Easy to apply, TONZON Lagging Foil can be wrapped around pipes or adhered in strips, making it an adaptable solution for any setup, including one-pipe central heating systems often found in public buildings. Such systems, where hot water circulates continuously, see substantial benefits from this foil, potentially halving energy use when used alongside other energy-saving measures.

The Effect
Additional Benefits Apart from its primary function, TONZON Lagging Foil also significantly reduces the risk of legionella—a serious concern in systems where hot water pipes run alongside cold ones. By preventing the heating of water in the cold pipes, Lagging Foil eliminates the lukewarm conditions that allow legionella bacteria to thrive.
The Tangible Effects While the exact savings from using TONZON Lagging Foil can vary depending on how extensively the central heating pipes are utilized, the benefits are invariably notable. The insulated pipes virtually lose no heat, ensuring that hot water reaches its destination quicker and at a higher temperature. Moreover, water returning to the boiler is warmer, reducing the workload on the boiler and consequently extending its lifespan.
