I have found climaflex and armaflex and some thick black expensive

I notice that climaflex is available in 22 x 19 and 22 x 25 mm and
most places only sell 22 x 19. Is the 22 x 25mm necessary or is it
overkill?


This really depends on what you want to use it for.

If it's to insulate pipes in a loft to prevent freezing, then it
probably doesn't matter a great deal.

OTOH, if it's to insulate underground heating pipes outside, then more
is better.

The pipes are heating pipes under the suspended ground floor. I have
read that mice are partial to climaflex (though they probably they eat
anything that isn't stainless steel!)
