Leopard Insulation LLC | Commercial Mechanical Insulation, Central Florida

Why it matters

Florida air wants to sweat on your pipe

A chilled water line runs near 44°F. Our summer dew point sits in the 70s. Any gap in the vapor seal lets humid air reach the cold steel, and the result is dripping ceilings, wet insulation, mold and corrosion. Every layer we install is there to stop that.

1Jacket. Aluminum, stainless or PVC that protects the system from sun, weather and traffic.
2Vapor retarder. A continuous seal with lapped and sealed seams, the layer that keeps moisture out.
3Insulation. Fiberglass, elastomeric, cellular glass or mineral wool, sized to the specified thickness.
4The pipe. Chilled water, hot water, domestic, refrigerant or condensate.

Systems we insulate

HVAC and plumbing, cold side and hot side

Typical systems on commercial work, with the materials we install on each. Final materials and thicknesses always follow the project specifications.

System	Typical service temp	What we install
Chilled water supply & return	40–55°F	Cellular glass (Foamglas) or fiberglass with full vapor retarder; ASJ, aluminum or PVC jacket; PVC fitting covers
Heating hot water	140–180°F	Fiberglass or mineral wool pipe insulation with ASJ; PVC or metal jacket where exposed
Domestic hot & cold water	50–140°F	Fiberglass with ASJ; elastomeric where specified
Refrigerant piping	35–55°F suction	Elastomeric tubing and sheet; UV protection or jacketing outdoors
Condensate drains	50–60°F	Elastomeric or fiberglass to prevent sweating
HVAC ductwork	55–60°F supply	FSK duct wrap and ductboard with taped seams; fire-rated duct wrap where specified; jacketing on exterior duct
Equipment & specialties	Varies	Pumps, tanks, air separators, strainers, valves and heat exchangers; removable covers where access is needed

How a job runs

From bid invite to closeout

STEP 1
Bid
We review plans, specs and addenda and send a clear quote with base bid, alternates and exclusions.
STEP 2
Award
Signed quote, signed contract or PO number in hand. That releases submittals and scheduling of our insulators.
STEP 3
Submittals
Product data and thickness schedules sent early so approvals don't hold up the schedule.
STEP 4
Install
We coordinate with your PM, superintendent and foreman, follow pressure testing and work clean so trades behind us can keep moving.
STEP 5
Closeout
Punch list done, documentation handed over, and a finish you can show the owner.
