A highly insulated house, wherein on the basis of current technology of house insulation, a connecting structure with function of thermal-break bridge is set between the door and window's outer frame and the house's frame and external wall, and in the multiple-layered insulating structure of the house there is set a structure of wooden insulating bars or plastic insulating bars filled with insulating fiber, also there is set a fastener with function of thermal-break bridge, thus the overall insulation performance of the house is further boosted; wherein overlapping water boards are set between the multiple-layered insulating blocks of the external wall and roof, and water-proofing insulating blocks are set at the house frame, thus more convenient water-proofing is realized; wherein adhesive tape and insulating plate are set at the inner side of the insulating blocks of external wall and roof, so more convenient air-sealing is realized; wherein insulating structures of thin film with the multiple-layered connection, and with the block-connection by manual sticking or welding, with the automatic block-connection by direct molding, or by flat brim addition, by straight brim addition, by web-shaped addition—are used, thus for a house already built as well as a new house realization of high insulation is convenient and fast.

A pipe has first and second exterior layers of insulation. The first layer of insulation has a higher temperature rating than the second. The second layer can be thicker than the first. In a system and method for forming the insulated pipe, a first mold having a first inner diameter is used for the first layer of insulation and a second mold having a second inner diameter greater than the first inner diameter is used for the second layer of insulation. The first layer of insulation is formed from a first polymer and the second is formed over the first layer from a second polymer. Multiple insulated pipes can be joined together at field joints and field joint insulation can be formed from first and second layers of field joint insulation corresponding in material and thickness to the first and second layers of pipe insulation.
