Title: Tank insulation
Post by: combat1 on December 08, 2021, 08:12:37 pm

Anybody know which is the most effective insulation option for a baffled water tank?
Currently have 50mm polystyrene panels, wondering if this is better than the bubbled foil sheet?
Thanks

Bubbled foil is merely a vapour barrier to isolate metal panelling in campervans. Best insulation is rock wool followed by polystyrene panels, then cork

Thanks for the info. Appreciated.
Looks like I’m on the right track.
Don’t lose very much over the day.
