Custom PIB details

Custom-made PIB solutions for joints, corners, terminations and difficult-to-seal areas on tanks, pipes and technical installations.

Built around the difficult details

Some insulation tasks require more than a standard termination. This is especially true for tanks, pipes and technical installations, where geometry, movement, temperature, moisture and access conditions can make sealing and protection difficult.

EasyFLEX Roofing and SabetoFLEX can develop custom PIB details for areas where a flexible and precisely adapted solution is needed — for example corners, joints, pipes, studs, flanges, brackets, penetrations and transitions between materials.

Relevant for details where sealing is critical

Custom PIB details are relevant for tasks where standard solutions do not provide the necessary adaptation, flexibility or security around the critical points.

When tank movement challenges the detail

Industrial tanks can expand and contract with temperature, operation and load. This places particular demands on corners, terminations, penetrations and fixing points, where a rigid or poorly adapted solution can create weak points over time.

At especially exposed details, movement in the tank can cause traditional terminations or metal cladding to loosen. Here, a custom PIB detail can provide a flexible termination that better follows tank movement and protects the insulation build-up.

Custom PIB details are designed around the specific geometry and may be relevant for both new projects and renovation of existing insulation build-ups.

How it works, step by step

Custom PIB details are formed around the actual geometry of the tank, pipe or installation. The detail is adapted to the critical area, installed with the relevant overlap and termination, and finished so it can help protect the insulation build-up while allowing for movement in the construction.

The animation gives a practical overview of the process — from positioning and shaping the PIB detail to installation around corners, terminations and exposed points.

Difficult areas require early clarification

Custom details usually begin with a dialogue about the specific task. The most challenging details should be considered early in the project — especially where there are many penetrations, changing materials, uneven shapes, limited access or areas where moisture and movement may create problems.

From ideation to custom solution: We consider substrate, geometry, temperature, environmental exposure, movement, access conditions and sealing requirements.

Most difficult details are manageable when they are part of the conversation early enough — the problem is finding them too late.

Do you have a custom detail that needs to be assessed?

Custom PIB details depend on geometry, substrate, movement, temperature, environmental exposure and sealing requirements. Contact EasyFLEX Roofing if you need dialogue about a specific detail or insulation build-up.
