Before starting the installation works,ensure that all preparatory work on the object has been completed.
 
Cut the wraps (mats) to the required length according to the external insulation diameter (pipe diameter + two times the insulation thickness). Fasten the wrap (mat) firmly to the pipe with steel bands. Ensure that the wraps (mats) form a tight joint and that no lengthwise joints or circular joints can be visible. The joints of the individual wraps (mats) are securely taped with self-adhesive aluminum tape. If the insulation is assembled in multiple layers,the joints of the individual insulation layers must be staggered.
 
Support structures and spacers
Generally speaking, spacers are not vital in insulation systems with load bearing wraps (mats).When pipes that are exposed to large mechanical loads (e.g.strong vibrations), determine whether a spacer ring is required in each individual case. 
 
With pipes that have been installed vertically, with a height in excess of 14 feet (4 m), fit support structures to transfer the dead load of the insulation system onto the pipe. Attach the first support ring to the lowest point of the vertical pipe.The distance between the support rings should not exceed approximately 14 feet (4 m).
