20 Pillar Content Strategy for Bottled Gases UK

Ever tried finding reliable information about bottled gases online and ended up drowning in technical jargon, confusing rental schemes, and outdated advice? You're not alone. The industrial gas world can feel like a maze of cylinder sizes, gas mixes, and hidden costs that leave you more confused than when you started.

That's exactly why we've built something different at Bottle Gases.

What Are Content Pillars (And Why Should You Care)?

Think of content pillars as your personal guidebook to the world of bottled gases. Instead of scattering random blog posts across the internet and hoping you stumble upon what you need, we've created 20 comprehensive, go-to resources that cover every aspect of buying, using, and managing gas cylinders in the UK.

Each pillar is designed to answer the real questions you're asking at 2am when you're planning a wedding, mid-weld when your gas runs out, or while you're trying to figure out why your pub's beer tastes off. No fluff, no sales pitch disguised as advice: just straightforward, practical information that actually helps you make decisions.

The 20 Pillars: Your Complete Gas Knowledge Hub

We've organised our content around the gas solutions you actually use. Whether you're filling balloons for a kids' party, welding a steel frame, or keeping your beer lines flowing perfectly, there's a dedicated resource waiting for you.

Helium Solutions (Because Parties Matter)

Let's start with everyone's favourite: helium. From disposable bottles perfect for one-off birthday parties to refillable cylinders for event businesses, we've covered the full spectrum. Our helium guides break down exactly how many balloons you can fill with different cylinder sizes, how long the gas stays buoyant, and which option saves you money based on your needs.

Running an events business? You'll find detailed comparisons between hiring helium cylinders and buying outright: spoiler alert: with no recurring rental fees at Bottle Gases, ownership often wins. We've also compiled guides on balloon accessories, inflation techniques, and safety considerations that event planners actually need to know.

Welding Gases (For The Makers and Fixers)

Whether you're a professional fabricator or a weekend warrior in your garage, welding gas choice makes or breaks your project. Our MIG and TIG welding gas pillars explain the different gas mixes (like Argon/CO2 blends), when to use each, and how to calculate exactly how much gas your project needs.

No more buying a massive 20kg cylinder when a 5kg would've done the job, or worse: running out halfway through a critical weld. We've stripped away the complexity and given you practical, project-based advice that considers both your skill level and your budget.

CO2 and Beverage Gases (Keep Things Flowing)

Pub owners and café managers know the panic of a flat pint or a sputtering coffee machine. Our CO2 and cellar gas pillars dive into food-grade specifications, pressure requirements, and the differences between pure CO2 and mixed gases for different beverages.

You'll learn why your lager needs different gas than your Guinness, how to calculate consumption rates for your establishment, and how to troubleshoot common dispensing problems. It's the kind of insider knowledge that used to require calling in an engineer: now it's available whenever you need it.

LPG and Heating Solutions (Stay Warm, Stay Cooking)

From BBQ enthusiasts to off-grid homeowners, LPG users need reliable information about bottle sizes, refill options, and safety standards. Our Calor gas and LPG guides explain UK regulations, compare bottle sizes in practical terms (how many BBQ sessions you'll get), and outline delivery options across the country.

We've also tackled the confusing world of bottle ownership versus rental, breaking down the true cost of each option over time. Hint: buying your cylinder outright and getting refills through our nationwide delivery service often saves you hundreds over a few years.

Why 20 Pillars Instead of Random Blog Posts?

Here's the thing about most gas suppliers' websites: they're either trying to sell you something without explaining what you actually need, or they're so technical you need a chemistry degree to understand them. We wanted to create something different: a middle ground that respects your intelligence while making complex topics accessible.

Each of our 20 pillars serves as a living document that we update with new information, customer questions, and industry changes. When UK regulations shift or new products arrive, you'll find updated guidance in the relevant pillar rather than hunting through dozens of outdated blog posts.

The Strategy Behind the Structure

We've organised these pillars around how people actually search for gas solutions. Some of you know exactly what you need ("disposable helium bottles"), while others are exploring options ("should I refill or buy disposable?"). Our pillar structure serves both approaches.

The product-specific pillars (like nitrogen cylinders or oxy-fuel gases) give you deep dives into specifications, applications, and buying considerations. The comparison and guide pillars (like gas refills versus disposable, or welding safety) help you make informed decisions between options.

Every pillar connects to relevant products on our site and links to related topics, creating a web of information that lets you explore at your own pace. Start with helium for events, and you might discover you also need information about regulators and accessories. Begin with MIG welding gas, and you'll find comprehensive safety guidelines just a click away.

What Makes These Pillars Different?

Metric measurements throughout. No confusing conversions: everything's in litres, kilograms, and bar pressure as used in the UK.

Real-world scenarios. Instead of abstract specs, you'll find examples like "a 3.6m³ disposable helium cylinder fills approximately 30 latex balloons" or "a typical TIG welding project consumes 15 litres per hour."

Honest comparisons. We'll tell you when disposable makes sense (one-off parties) and when refillable saves money (regular users). Our goal is helping you choose right, not just sell more.

Competitive pricing context. Each pillar includes guidance on what fair pricing looks like in the UK market, so you can spot value versus gimmicks.

Nationwide delivery focus. Because we deliver across the UK without charging extortionate courier fees, every pillar considers the logistics of getting gas to your door, whether you're in Manchester or Cornwall.

How to Use This Content Strategy

Think of these 20 pillars as your personal gas consultant, available 24/7. Got a question at midnight about whether you need pure Argon or a mix for your next welding project? Check the TIG or MIG pillar. Planning a party in three weeks and need to figure out helium quantities? The events pillar has calculators and examples.

We've also built in cross-references throughout. Reading about CO2 for beverages might lead you to food-grade nitrogen information, which connects to industrial gas safety standards. It's designed to mirror how questions actually lead to other questions in your mind.

The Commercial Reality (Let's Be Honest)

Look, we're a business. We want you to buy gas from Bottle Gases. But we've learned something important over the years: informed customers make better decisions, have fewer problems, and become loyal advocates.

When you understand exactly what size cylinder you need, which gas mix works for your application, and how to store and use it safely, you're happier with your purchase. You don't overspend on capacity you'll never use or underbuy and run out mid-project.

These 20 pillars exist because we believe the bottled gas industry has been too opaque for too long. Rental schemes that lock you in, confusing size options, and lack of clear information have frustrated customers for decades. We're changing that by laying everything out clearly.

What's Next?

Over the coming months, we'll be publishing all 20 pillar articles, each one crafted to genuinely help you navigate a specific aspect of bottled gas selection and use. You can explore our existing content on our blog and check out our full range of products at Bottle Gases.

Whether you're here for helium, welding gases, CO2, nitrogen, LPG, or specialty industrial gases, you'll find authoritative, practical guidance that actually answers your questions. No jargon-heavy spec sheets, no hard selling: just straight talk about what works, what doesn't, and why.

Because at the end of the day, you don't need another gas supplier trying to confuse you into a bad deal. You need clear information, competitive pricing, and reliable nationwide delivery without rental fees eating into your budget.

That's exactly what these 20 content pillars: and Bottle Gases( deliver.)
