Central heating pipes on the ground floor have no lagging. Subfloor is well ventilated (read that as same temp as outdoors).
Before winter kicks in, I want to lag/insulate the pipes.
However, they are all in very shallow notches and the pipes are mm's away from the floorboards.
How is best to lag these?
I see pipe lagging comes in both 13mm or 9mm wall thickness. I reckon the 9mm would probably squash down, or maybe will if I trim the top edge to fit?
Other idea is loft insulation - add some netting underneath and just entomb the pipes in forbidden candyfloss?
I wonder what would give best insulation. Or maybe do both?
Welcome any advice or hot ideas
