Vapour Barriers, Cladding & Jacketing
(Moisture Protection, Mechanical Shielding & Insulation Finishing Services)
Vapour Barriers, Cladding & Jacketing – Engineering Execution & Field Services
Vapour Barriers, Cladding & Jacketing Systems are critical protective layers applied over insulation to prevent moisture ingress, mechanical damage, UV degradation, and environmental exposure.

While insulation controls temperature, vapour barriers and cladding ensure long-term durability and system integrity.
These systems are applied on:
- Chilled water piping
- Refrigerant piping
- Hot water pipelines
- Duct insulation
- Cryogenic systems
- Outdoor utility piping
- Equipment insulation
Improper vapour barrier sealing can result in:
- Moisture penetration
- Insulation failure
- Corrosion under insulation (CUI)
- Reduced thermal efficiency
- Structural damage
