Why Insulation?

Energy is one of the largest operating expenses for businesses—and with prices on the rise, the need for fast, effective efficiency solutions has never been greater. While many upgrades demand significant capital and long-term payback periods, insulation stands out as a high-impact investment that delivers immediate, measurable results. In fact, many insulation projects pay for themselves in under 12 months and continue generating savings for years.


Insulation is versatile, retrofittable, and suitable for businesses of all sizes—from small operations to large industrial facilities. When properly specified and installed, insulation dramatically reduces heat loss, cuts energy waste, and supports long-term sustainability goals. It’s one of the smartest, most cost-effective upgrades a business can make—boosting profitability while shrinking your carbon footprint.

Why invest in insulation?

Paybacks

A critical consideration in efficiency investments is the payback period. Even small-scale initiatives involve upfront costs that must be justified by measurable savings to be worthwhile. Like any financial commitment, efficiency measures must deliver compelling returns—otherwise, they’re likely to be ignored. Most businesses operate with limited patience for long-term paybacks, favouring solutions that yield quick, tangible benefits.


As a forward-thinking installer, Insulock combines advanced design techniques with specialist materials to insulate virtually any system, from simple piping to complex machinery. In fact many insulation projects pay for themselves in under 12 months and continue generating savings for years.

Quick to install, proven to save — insulation is the fastest way to lower energy bills.

Energy Conservation Insulation

Whether you're responding to an energy audit  or tackling  complex insulation challenge, we guarantee an economical, effective solution.


Insulock specialise in energy audits for the manufacturing and processing industry.

Where many Thermal Imagers typically concentrate of predictive maintenance and troubleshooting, our personnel are specially trained to identify locations of heat loss and OHS risks.


An energy audit conducted by a Insulock representative is not disruptive and includes a detailed site visit, a comprehensive report with photos and thermal images as well as offering a tailor made solution including estimated costs.


Insulock is not just meeting industry needs; we're shaping its future.

Thermography is the use of an infrared imaging and measurement device to “see” and measure thermal energy emitted from an object. Infrared is light which is not visible because its wavelength is too long to be detected by the human eye. It’s that part of electromagnetic spectrum we perceive as “heat”. Infrared imaging equipment allows us to “see” and measure precisely how hot or cold an object is.

What is Infrared Thermography?

Insulock uses TESTO Thermographic cameras in all its audits.

Infrared Thermography


Testo cameras achieve some of the best temperature measuring accuracies, often guaranteed at ±2°C or ±2%
