Lagging jacket for cold water tank in attic

    Hi all,

    After my water tank freezing last year in the attic, I'd like to insulate it this year. I had a look for lagging jackets and this was only 1 I found but it's too small for my tank it's for tanks 90cm in length -

    My tank dimensions are
    Width 48cm
    Length 135cm
    Height 47cm

    Are there any similar products like above out there to fit my tank?

    Or other solutions perhaps? My DIY skills are fairly limited !

    Thanks for any advice

    Buy a roll of insulation and wrap it round and over the tank the tank it should be fine

    Builders Providers or any plumbers merchants will be alot cheaper than Woodies.


    Oh and that jacket size is 48 inches long by 24 inches high by 24 inches wide.

    I had a look in my local builder providers and didnt see any specific products so maybe I should just buy a roll of insulation as suggested.

    You are right about the dimensions I must have misread! My tank length is 53 inches long though I don't suppose it would stretch?
