Industrial Insulation

Industrial Technical Insulation Experts Renowned for Quality

Insulation performs a vitally important role across countless processing and manufacturing sectors for several reasons. Not only does the insulation system improve process efficiencies, protect assets from the surrounding environment and help preserve energy and reduce costs, but importantly, provides critical personnel protection for people.

Our comprehensive Industrial Insulation service covers any application: if its hot, freezing or loud we have the experience, knowledge & innovative technologies to suit.

Vastly Experienced Service Delivery

We have vast experience working for major blue-chip clients on both new construction and term maintenance projects including outages, and have the capacity and expertise to take ownership of all aspects of a project including management, supervision, operatives, quantity surveyors, commercials and site facilities, logistics and services.

We develop, engineer, install and maintain insulation systems to achieve requirements for the most demanding targets. Our teams analyse the conditions and generate calculations for material specifications, to develop specified solutions, whilst always using the right materials for the demands of the job. We can competently design the correct insulation system for the job at hand, including; thermal performance, acoustic levels, wind load and static calculations. Our on-site teams have the skills and experience working with all types of insulation materials from aerogels to mineral fibres, and associated cladding materials like Aluzinc and stainless steel.

Over the years we have incorporated new solutions, acknowledging new innovative technologies. Along with our traditional lagging and cladding service, our in-house highly skilled teams have the ability to also offer new innovative solutions for insulation in the form of, flexible insulation products and Mascoat insulation coatings, of which we are approved applicators.

As an expert within our industry we are members of the Thermal Insulation Contractors Association (TICA). This demonstrates our commitment to the ongoing training and development of both our operatives and apprentices, and the continual improvement of our industry.

Being fully versed in the latest solutions and techniques ensures we are at the forefront of delivering the highest standards in terms of quality. This coupled with our in-house design capabilities and wealth of technical knowledge enables us to provide a full range of industrial insulation solutions to suit the most demanding environments and challenging operating conditions.

The Right Contractor for Your Industrial Insulation Project

Industrial insulation is a specialist discipline, and the range of contractors offering it varies significantly in terms of capability, accreditation, and sector experience.

When looking for an industrial insulation contractor in the UK, the most reliable indicators of a genuine specialist are TICA membership, in-house insulation system design capability, and a demonstrable track record across complex industrial projects such as power generation, petrochemical, and energy-from-waste facilities.

Powertherm is a TICA-accredited industrial insulation contractor with over 35 years of experience working across the UK.

The Industries We Work In

Industrial insulation requirements vary significantly from one sector to the next.

The materials, system design, installation methods, and performance standards that apply to a
pharmaceutical facility look very different from those required on a petrochemical plant.

For more than 35 years, Powertherm has built experience across a broad range of industries,
including:

Power generation and energy — industrial thermal insulation for large power generation plants, including conventional and renewable energy assets, energy-from-waste facilities, gas turbine and combined heat and power plants, where insulation systems must perform reliably under sustained high temperatures and demanding operational cycles
Oil, gas, and petrochemical — where the correct specification of insulation materials and protective cladding to withstand significantly high cyclic and continuous temperatures is critical to process efficiency, personnel protection, and the management of corrosion under insulation risk.
Chemical and process industries — covering a wide range of operating temperatures, chemical exposure conditions, and regulatory environments
Pharmaceutical, food and beverage — sectors where hygiene, surface temperature control, and compliance with industry standards are as important as thermal performance.
Water and utilities — including treatment works, pumping stations, and distribution infrastructure, where insulation contributes to both frost protection and energy efficiency
Manufacturing and industrial facilities — where insulation supports safe surface temperatures, personnel protection, and process efficiency across a wide variety of plant and equipment
Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) — where insulation systems must perform at sub-zero cryogenic temperatures, using vapour barriers and multi-layered constructions to prevent ambient heat ingress, reducing boil-off, icing and associated health and safety risks.

This breadth of sector experience means our teams understand the specific demands of each environment they work in, not just the insulation materials involved, but the operational context, the applicable standards, and the practical constraints of working within a live or shutdown facility.
