Clever Uses for Pipe Insulation that Have Nothing to Do With Plumbing

1 / 7

Additional Baby-Proofing

If you’ve got small children wandering around, babyproofing your home is a hugely important safety step. To help avoid any injuries, you can add some foam pipe insulation around your kitchen countertop and along any dangerous edges and corners on furniture pieces in the living room.

The pressure created by the curve of the insulation holds it in place without having to even use the adhesive strip that comes on the insulation. It also makes the babyproofing solution temporary, so you can remove it if the kiddos aren’t at your house.

Prevent Door Dings

Do you get dings on your car doors from accidentally banging them against the garage wall?  Don’t throw away your leftover pipe insulation tubes. Use them as a clever solution for this very problem.

We used pipe insulation that was already cut in half the long way. Next, fit the pipe insulation around the studs on your garage walls. It should stay put on its own, but for a more permanent solution, you can adhere the pipe insulation to the studs by using the self-sealing adhesive or by pounding in a couple of nails.
