Okay, if my sums are right, duvet material is actually much more effective (per unit thickness) than than fibreglass fill. Assuming a 13.5 tog winter duvet is 30mm thick, the same insulation provided by a decent 80mm fibreglass cylinder jacket can be achieved with duvet layers to a total of thickness of 44mm. (I know that cheaper duvets can be notorious for patchy heat loss, so this figure might need to be adjusted upward for quality.) Does anyone know what the situation is with using a duvet and any fire safety requirements?
A Kingspan box is a thought but I imagine that sealing the box airtight around the cylinder would be a challenge. I've read online that bubble wrap is a "free" and effective form of insulation.
