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.

Vapour Barriers, Cladding & Jacketing

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

Compress India provides complete engineering execution services including vapour barrier installation, cladding fabrication, jacketing installation, sealing, inspection, repair, retrofitting, and AMC services.
