Eco-Economiser Hot Water Cylinder Lagging Jackets

Our range includes the Eco-Economiser Hot Water Cylinder Lagging Jackets, designed to significantly reduce heat loss, thereby ensuring your hot water cylinder retains heat for longer periods. This not only improves energy efficiency but also leads to substantial cost savings in your energy bills. These jackets are available in various sizes, including the popular 36" x 18" option, to fit a wide range of cylinders.

Material: Sheep Wool Insulation

One of the standout features of our Eco-Economiser range is the use of sheep wool in the lagging jackets. Sheep wool is known for its excellent natural insulation properties, making it an eco-friendly and highly effective material for retaining heat. This choice of material aligns with our commitment to environmentally sustainable products without compromising on performance.

Selecting the Right Product

When choosing the right hot water cylinder jacket, consider the following:

• Size of Your Cylinder: Ensure you select a jacket that fits your cylinder. The 36" x 18" size is a common fit, but it's important to measure your cylinder before purchasing.
• Insulation Material: Opt for materials like sheep wool for eco-friendly and efficient insulation.
• Ease of Installation: Look for jackets that are easy to install, so you can quickly benefit from the increased efficiency.

Benefits of Hot Water Cylinder Insulation

• Reduced Carbon Footprint: By cutting wasted heat, you reduce overall energy demand.
• Improved Comfort: Water stays hotter for longer, so showers and taps maintain a consistent temperature.
