Pipe Cladding for Mechanical and Industrial Systems
Technical insulation. Delivered with precision.
Pipe cladding, also referred to as sheathing, protect insulated pipework from environmental exposure, mechanical damage and operational wear across commercial and industrial infrastructure.
​
Mulgrave Insulation installs protective cladding systems across large-scale construction projects, supporting mechanical pipework, plant equipment and industrial process infrastructure.
Since 1986, our teams have worked alongside contractors and project teams to install pipe cladding systems that protect insulation performance while supporting long-term system durability.
Pipe Cladding for Mechanical Pipework
Pipe cladding, or sheathing, forms the protective outer layer of an insulation system, shielding the underlying insulation from moisture, impact and environmental conditions.
​
Mulgrave installs cladding systems across a wide range of mechanical pipework and building services infrastructure, including:
-
HVAC pipework
-
chilled water systems
-
heating water pipework
-
heating pipework
-
steam pipework
-
plant room infrastructure
-
industrial process pipework
These systems help maintain insulation performance while protecting critical building services infrastructure.
Pipe Cladding / Sheathing Materials
Mulgrave installs a range of pipe cladding materials depending on project specifications, environmental conditions and system requirements.
Common cladding materials include:
Aluminium pipe cladding
A durable and lightweight material commonly used across commercial mechanical pipework.
Stainless steel pipe cladding
Used where corrosion resistance and durability are critical, particularly in industrial environments.
Colourbond pipe cladding
Used in environments where additional durability and protective coatings are required.
PVC pipe cladding
A lightweight protective system commonly used across internal mechanical services installations.
Galvanised steel pipe jacketing
Used across a range of building services and industrial pipework applications to protect insulation systems.
Protection for Insulated Pipework
Pipe cladding plays an important role in maintaining the long-term performance of insulation systems.
​
Pipe cladding helps:
-
protect insulation from environmental exposure
-
prevent moisture ingress into insulation systems
-
reduce damage from mechanical impact
-
maintain insulation performance over time
-
extend the service life of mechanical pipework infrastructure
Properly installed cladding systems ensure insulation continues to perform as intended across complex building services environments.
