Pipes may run through cold spaces such as garages and roof voids where you don't want heat loss into these spaces as this will make the heating system less efficient. There is also good reason to insulate heating pipes running through heated spaces to prevent overheating of rooms within properties. This way heat is delivered directly to the radiators with thermostatic controls in habitable rooms without excessive losses in circulation areas. In larger buildings secondary hot water circulation and heating pipes must be insulated to prevent overheating in corridors where pipes are often located as this greatly improves the efficient of the system especially where the hot water heating boiler may not be as efficient as the space heating boiler. Rule of thumb - the bigger the pipe diameter the thicker the insulation should be for effective insulation. Frost Protection: Winter usage of pipe insulation is to protect pipes against frost damage. All types of pipe can be affected by frost damage, in particular metal pipes such an copper, lead and steel which will readily split upon freezing due to the expansion of freezing water when ice occurs. When ice bursts a pipe, upon thawing significant damage occurs due to water supply flooding or emptying of the heating system. As a rule of thumb the thinner the pipe diameter the thicker the pipe insulation should be. Frost protection applications:- external pipes, all loft space pipe work serving tanks or hot/cold an heating water pipes.
