hot systems. In context, insulating pipework and brackets enhance energy effi ciency in a hot pipework system, with annual energy savings between £2.50 and £5 per bracket. These savings become substantial when considering that large installations may have hundreds of pipe supports, potentially leading to a quick return on investment. Signifi cant progress has been achieved in enhancing
pipework and bracket insulation sustainability within the building services sector. For example, we manufacture the core of our pipe supports using 100% recycled PET plastic bottles. This eco-friendly material has low thermal conductivity alongside impressive compressive strength. The supports feature PET load-bearing segments with insulation on the exterior for seamless integration with the adjacent insulation material.
PET components are fully recyclable after their service life, with all manufacturing waste being reintegrated into new PET blocks. PET demonstrates outstanding environmental credentials, consuming over 60% less energy during production compared to PUR and generating more than 80% less CO2
emissions.
Thermally isolated pipework Pipe brackets constitute a potential vulnerability in both hot
and cold pipework systems. Without proper thermal isolation between the pipe and the bracket, thermal bridging results in condensation or heat loss, as does the compression of insulation by the bracket hanger. Insulating pipe support brackets is therefore essential for
preserving system effi ciency and integrity; thermally isolating the pipe from its mounting represents the most eff ective

approach to ensuring optimal performance. An integrated solution, where both the insulation material and insulated pipe supports originate from a single manufacturer, delivers enhanced compatibility regarding condensation control, energy conservation and installation simplicity. Through this approach, specifi ers and installers can ensure system effi ciency whilst providing their clients with a low- maintenance, long-term solution.
