Customised Insulation Manufacturers

What Customised Insulation Manufacturers does

Custom Insulation Solutions Ltd (trading as CIS Ltd) is a Dublin-based, founder-owned manufacturer of custom-designed removable thermal insulation covers for industrial piping systems and plant. The company's core product is bespoke covers fabricated for valves, strainers, pumps, heat exchangers, vessels, pipework and air-handling units, with site measurement, custom design and local Dublin manufacturing enabling fast lead times (reportedly as short as one week on standard projects). Materials are selected for application and certified to EN13501 and Class 0 BS476 Parts 6 and 7, with options for high-temperature performance up to 1000°C and corrosive-environment performance via proprietary leak-indicating acid/alkali colour-change silicone fabrics. Complementary product lines include OSM module covers for off-site manufacturing logistics, welding blankets rated to 550-1000°C, and a spray safety shields (flange guard) line in development.

The company goes to market via a direct B2B field-sales motion, with representatives conducting on-site surveys and providing custom quotations. It primarily serves Ireland-based main mechanical contractors and subcontractors (e.g. Jones Engineering, Mercury Engineering), facilities companies and maintenance managers, with additional exposure to high-tech verticals (data centres, semiconductor, life sciences), energy/petrochemical (Bord Gáis), and government/defence (Irish Naval Service via Ins-Spec Insulation Services). Pricing is entirely contact-based and project-specific; products are sold as one-time purchases with no recurring subscription or licensing component. The business is privately held, bootstrapped through founder Mark McGuire's industry expertise, and is currently expanding production capacity via new machinery, warehouse mezzanine and additional seamstress hires to address an order book described as full for the year.

Core offering

Custom Insulation Solutions Ltd manufactures custom-designed removable thermal insulation covers for industrial applications including valves, strainers, pumps, heat exchangers, vessels, and piping components. Covers are site-measured by company representatives and manufactured locally in Dublin using high-quality materials certified to EN13501 and BS476 Class 0 standards. The product range also includes welding blankets, leak indicating covers, OSM module covers, and a new spray safety shield line.

Product overview

Custom Insulation Solutions Ltd is a manufacturer of custom-designed removable thermal insulation covers and related safety products. The core product is the Removable Thermal Insulation Covers, which are custom-made to fit valves, strainers, pumps, heat exchangers, vessels, and piping components. Supporting products include Welding Blankets for spark/spatter protection (available in standard and custom sizes with temperature ratings up to 1000°C) and Leak Indicating Covers featuring acid/alkali indicator fabrics that change colour upon contact with corrosives for early leak detection. A new product line in development includes Spray Safety Shields (flange guards) for protection against toxic liquid spray-outs. The company also produces OSM Module Covers for protecting off-site manufactured modules during shipping. All thermal covers feature Velcro fasteners and pull cords for easy removal and reinstatement by maintenance personnel without special expertise.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Removable Thermal Insulation Covers Custom-designed removable insulation covers for industrial applications including valves, strainers, pumps, heat exchangers, vessels, and piping components. Made to client specifications with various materials suited for high temperature and harsh environments including chemical areas and coastal locations. Designed for easy removal and reinstatement by client's own maintenance personnel.
• Welding Blankets Reusable welding blankets for protecting equipment and surrounding areas from sparks and spatter during welding or grinding. Available in standard sizes (2m x 1m, 2m x 2m) or custom sizes. Medium duty fabrics withstand up to 550°C; high temperature fabrics withstand up to 1000°C and molten metal slag.
• Leak Indicating Covers Thermal covers manufactured from specialist acid/alkali indicator silicone rubber fabrics that change colour upon contact with corrosives. Green acid indicating cloth changes to bright yellow; purple alkali indicating cloth changes to brown/white. Designed as outer layer on insulation covers for early leak detection.
• OSM Module Covers Large covers designed to protect off-site manufacturing (OSM) pipe rack modules during shipping from manufacturing facilities to project sites. Secured using Velcro fasteners for easy removal and reuse on other modules.
• Spray Safety Shields Safety equipment (also known as flange guards) used to prevent harmful spray-outs and mist formation of toxic, corrosive and dangerous liquids in the event of pipe joint failure. New product line developed in Q2 2023 with prototypes undergoing testing.

Quantifiable outcome

• Installation time reduced from days to minutes: A large pressure vessel cover was installed in less than 3 hours compared to 2+ days for traditional sheet metal cladding.
