Insulation wrap is a term that may be applied to insulation used on ducts or pipes in a home, which can help prevent heat or cold air loss. As the name would suggest, insulation wrap works by surrounding the duct or pipe with a layer of insulation. This has several different purposes and benefits, depending on what is being protected. Most commonly, the term insulation wrap is applied to ducts. Whenever there is heating or air conditioning in effect, some of that treated air is lost through the “skin” of the ductwork. Preventing this will further add efficiency to the entire HVAC (heating, venting and air conditioning) system. In other cases, there could be holes or small cuts in the duct material that further amplifies the problem. While adding insulation wrap will help prevent these damages to a large extent, any existing damage should be repaired before applying the insulation.
