Mechanical insulation, also known as the “forgotten technology,” is industrial thermal insulation. This encompasses mechanical pipe insulation, plus insulation for all types of equipment, and every category of mechanical systems. These systems involve boilers, HVAC, as well as ducts. As a highly experienced commercial mechanical insulation contractor, our mechanical insulation performs these extremely crucial functions:
- Conserving energy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions
- Regulating the temperature of process systems
- Condensation control and mold prevention
- Personnel protection from hot or cold surfaces
