Colours of cylinder insulating jackets - not red!

[George_H]

I need to replace my hot water cylinder insulating jacket. All the ones I have seen advertised are red for some reason...anyone know if you can get other colours e.g brown and if so, where? Cylinder is 1050 X 450 mm

Whats up with red?

Wife doesn't like it!

Its in the utility room (central heating boiler, washing machine etc) which we have just renovated. Standing in a corner next to the boiler and too difficult to box in to make a cupboard (pipes etc).

WHY NOT strap a duvet around it ?

Get another wife. Tell her I said so, and if she doesn't like the red one she can knit a cover for it.

Buy some wheely bin liners (black? grey?) to go over it. The wife will love that!
