I'm getting the asbestos insulation removed from my steam pipes in the basement. What type of insulation material do you recommend replacing it with? I've seen options for fiberglass, elastomers (Insul-lock) and other options.
Thanks!
Thanks!

The insulation most commonly recommended here is fiberglass 1" thick. I ordered mine from

The pvc covers for elbows and tees look good.
