Layflat pipe hits the market
The newly released Layflat pipe system
from JG Speedfit uses a seemingly
simple concept, but its manufacturer
claims it will make plumbing installations
involving long lengths of pipe a far easier
experience for plumbers throughout the
UK.
Layflat pipe ensures that the pipe
always lays flat and stays flat when
removed from the coil. It is extremely
flexible in comparison to traditional PEX
coil alternatives, and therefore easier to
use, especially in cold weather. It is also
supple enough to make cabling through
joists effortless.
As is standard, all Layflat pipe sizes
come with a barrier layer to prevent
the ingress of air into the system. The
coils, which are made in the UK, were
made available at all major plumbers
merchants from July 2012.

Sustainable pre-clad insulation solution
Paroc Technical Insulation has
introduced Paroc Pro Clad, a pre-
clad insulation solution for industrial
pipelines and pipe elbows. It is a cost-
effective solution, with products that
are easy and quick to install. As the
insulation and cladding can be installed
at the same time, it provides significant
savings in installation work.
Paroc Pro Clad is a pre-clad solution
suitable for indoor and outdoor usage
in different industrial applications. The
solution contains Paroc stone wool
pipe sections, segments and bends,
which have the same insulating
capacity and other properties as Paroc
Pro sections. Paroc Pro Clad products
have aluminium coated strong glass
fibre cloth cladding with UV-protection,
which makes the products especially
suitable for outdoor use.
The insulation works as designed
when it stays dry. Water tightness
and vapour permeability of this
solution ensure optimal insulation
characteristics and reduce the risk
of corrosion. This makes Paroc Pro
Clad a sustainable and energy efficient
long-term solution.
When using ordinary cladding materials,
the construction can easily be damaged
and mechanical damage can cause
leakages, infiltration of humidity and
dirt, energy loss and even corrosion.
Paroc Pro Clad solution works against
all these problems since the products
holds its form. Elasticity of the cladding
makes Paroc Pro Clad a solution that is
suitable for applications where physical
durability is needed.
Paroc products include building
insulation, technical insulation, marine
insulation, sandwich panels and
acoustics products.
