Why use Pre-insulated Ductwork?
Pre-insulated ductwork offers a range of advantages over traditional insulated galvanized sheet steel and
mineral fiber duct board systems. Some of the benefits include:
1.Lightweight: Unlike galvanized sheet steel ductwork, pre-insulated ductwork is much lighter, reducing the need for extensive support structures.
2.Time-saving installation: Pre-insulated ductwork can be installed in a single-fix process, eliminating the need for manual insulation after installation.
3.Cost-effective installation: The lightweight and quick installation process of pre-insulated ductwork can lead to significant cost savings for installers and contractors.
4.Space-saving: Since pre-insulated ductwork doesn't require additional insulation, it can be installed flush to the ceiling, saving up to 200 mm / 8" of space.
5.On-site modifications: Pre-insulated ductwork can be easily cut and modified on-site, making it convenient for buildings with unforeseen design changes.
6.Low air leakage: Pre-insulated ductwork significantly reduces air leakage compared to rectangular sheet metal ductwork.
7.Energy efficiency: The reduced air leakage of pre-insulated ductwork leads to lower heating and cooling loads, resulting in reduced energy consumption and running costs.
8.Whole life cost savings: Pre-insulated ductwork offers cost savings throughout its lifespan compared to ductwork made from galvanized sheet steel and insulated with mineral fiber.
9.Fiber-free insulation: The rigid insulation core of pre-insulated ductwork eliminates the risk of loose fibers entering the airstream, ensuring clean and safe air distribution.
