Holding the pipes down??

[pritch]

Hi

Last time I put steel reinforced mesh on top off the insulation and tie wrapped my pipes to it to hold in position . It worked a treat and the weight kept the insulation flat and made it better to walk on while screeding etc.  

That was 15 years ago.  

Is there anything better out nowadays or is this still an acceptable  method? 

Thanks

You may have got away previously with using lumps of paving slab as chairs for the mesh - you’ll probably be asked to use purpose made chairs now, however the triangular long lengths are a piece of cake to use now anyway.
