Rockwool’s recent introduction of their insulated pipe support blocks is the culmination of extensive product development and adds a completely new dimension to the pipe support market.
Insulated pipe supports are designed to support the compressive loads of pipework and limit thermal bridging and heat loss or gain to the pipework through the pipe support brackets.

They are typically used in LTHW and CHW pipework systems with a wide range of pipe types.
How are Rockwool Pipe Support Blocks manufactured?
