Thermal Insulation Covers
Insulation is important for your project – but access is equally important to the end user. Custom-fit, removable thermal insulation covers answer both of those needs and provide a practical solution for accessible, high-performance insulation. These thermal covers help reduce heat transfer and improve the overall thermal efficiency of your system.
Removable covers for high-temperature equipment and applications provide highly effective thermal insulation that reduces heat loss and improves safety. Most importantly, you don’t lose time or need to dedicate more budget to reinsulating when you need to access that equipment, preventing heat from entering the system.
Routine maintenance or repairs shouldn’t mean a full re-insulation process. At Total Insulation, we can design your insulation solution to include thermal insulation covers where you need them – combining performance with flexibility. This supports both energy efficiency and cost savings across heating and cooling systems.
Whether you’re working on a refinery, gas plant, or power station, our thermal insulation covers offer tailored protection and efficiency across Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific Rim.
Where Thermal Insulation Covers Is used
Thermal insulation covers are used across a wide range of industrial and commercial environments where heat loss, safety, and maintenance access are critical for ensuring adequate insulation.
Oil refineries
Thermal insulation covers help reduce surface temperatures on valves, pumps, and pipework, making these high-risk areas safer for workers. The removable design allows for fast access during inspections and routine maintenance, helping to minimise costly shutdowns.
Gas plants
In gas processing facilities, thermal covers insulate critical equipment while still allowing for easy removal. This flexibility is essential when managing heat exposure and ensuring system components can be safely accessed without compromising performance.
Power plants
Thermal insulation covers are commonly used on turbines, exhausts, and high-temperature piping. They help control heat loss, improve energy efficiency, and provide a safer working environment, all while simplifying maintenance procedures.
Turbine plants
Turbine systems rely on precision and consistent thermal management. Thermal covers protect sensitive turbine components from temperature fluctuations and maintain operational efficiency while allowing technicians quick access for repairs.
Processing plants
In processing environments, thermal insulation covers are widely used to manage heat on machinery, pipelines, and tanks. Their custom-fit design ensures safety and thermal control without interrupting daily operations when access is required.
WHAT MATERIALS WE USE
At Total Insulation, we select high-quality, durable materials to suit your specific site and application. Here’s a quick overview of what we commonly use in our thermal insulation covers:
| Outer Layer Options | Reinforcement Options |
|---|---|
| Glass cloth with silicone coating: Excellent heat resistance, water repellence, and chemical protection.
Weatherproof UV-stable finishes: Suitable for outdoor equipment exposed to harsh conditions. |
Stainless steel mesh: Provides mechanical strength and durability. |
| Insulation Core Options | Reflective and Bulk Insulation Add-Ons |
| Ceramic Fibre: Strong thermal insulation performance at high temperatures.
Rockwool: Excellent for heat insulation and sound absorption. |
Reflective foil laminates and shiny aluminium foil laminated layers: Reduce radiant heat and improve the thermal efficiency of ceiling insulation, wall insulation, and underfloor insulation batts.
Bulk insulation materials: Support low thermal conductivity and help reduce heat transfer, heat flow, and air leakage. |
Every material is selected to ensure your thermal insulation covers achieve maximum thermal efficiency, withstand the demands of your environment, and contribute to overall energy savings and heating and cooling cost reductions.

Installing insulation products helps to save money on energy bills and supports comfortable building conditions in all climate zones.
Benefits
Thermal insulation covers provide several key benefits, including bulk and reflective insulation, that improve both safety and operational efficiency.
Minimises maintenance and repair time
The removable design allows your maintenance team to quickly access insulated equipment without damaging or discarding the cover. This saves time and avoids the need for costly re-insulation.
Allows for chemical expansion
Thermal covers can be tailored to suit equipment that experiences temperature-driven expansion and contraction, using composite material to maintain a reliable fit and ongoing thermal performance.
High- performing thermal insulation
Our covers are designed to significantly reduce heat loss and maintain heat inside, improving energy efficiency and contributing to lower operating costs over time.
Protects equipment
By managing surface temperatures and shielding equipment from environmental exposure, thermal insulation covers help extend the life of critical components.
Improves comfort
Effective heat insulation from our thermal insulation covers helps regulate temperatures, improving acoustic comfort and thermal resistance in heating and cooling systems.
Energy cost saving
Reducing heat loss directly contributes to lower energy consumption and helps lower heating and cooling costs, making thermal covers a smart investment for cost-conscious operations.
Personal protection
Thermal covers reduce surface temperatures to safer levels, helping protect employees from accidental contact burns and improving overall site safety.
Easy to store
Our thermal covers are also easy to store when removed, providing flexibility for sites with limited space.
Insulates against noise
In addition to thermal control, our covers can assist with sound dampening by preventing trapped air on specific equipment, contributing to a quieter, safer workplace.
Custom fit for a wide range of applications
Every cover is measured, designed, and fabricated to suit your specific equipment and the overall building requirements, whether it’s a valve, turbine, pump, or processing unit.
