Water Tank Insulation
Water Tank Insulation Installers
Water tank insulation is very important as the correct insulation of your water tank will save money and energy. Preventing heat rising towards the tank for other sources will not only ensure that cold water systems stay colder for longer but also prevent the tank from freezing when the temperature starts to drop.
Tank insulation is also a requirement of water by-laws and legionella risk assessments. Tank and pipe insulation also prevent the water from rising in summer months to levels which support bacterial growth and legionella.
We also stock a large range of pipe insulation to compliment out tank range. A selection of ancillary products are also available including stick pins, silver foil tape and glue. Insulation can be supplied on the roll, in slab form or in bags to fill insulation voids. Our insulation can be supplied in the following materials, rock wool, fibreboard, glass wool, duct wrap, cork, polystyrene, neo-flamb and king-span.
Our polypropylene tank lining system allows us to install tank insulation behind the lining. Polystyrene is used for the method and the end result is an extremely efficient and cost effective system. This system also prevents the insulation from getting damaged.
Ancillary products can also be supplied including knives, saws, tables, tape measures and levels etc.
We have successful experience providing insulation for all types of cold water storage tanks, from the one piece galvanised type to multi sectional tanks. We often use our three coat epoxy system along with the external lagging as this is especially good at preventing water temperatures falling below zero.

Water Tank Insulation Applications
Water tank insulation applications are essential for controlling temperature and improving energy efficiency in both residential and industrial water storage systems. Insulating a water tank helps maintain the desired water temperature, reducing heat loss in hot water systems and preventing freezing in cold climates. This is especially important in facilities like commercial buildings, farms, and processing plants where temperature consistency is critical. Common insulation materials include polyurethane foam, fibreglass, and reflective wraps, chosen based on the tank’s size, location, and usage. Insulation also reduces energy costs by minimising the need for reheating or cooling, and it helps prevent condensation, which can lead to rust or bacterial growth.
Properly installed insulation not only extends the life of the tank but also supports sustainable energy practices. Whether installed on new systems or retrofitted on existing ones, water tank insulation is a cost-effective upgrade that ensures reliable performance and long-term savings in temperature-sensitive operations.
