PIR Air Ducting Panels

PIR Air Ducting Panels are factory-produced panels engineered for fabricating high-performance HVAC ductwork. The core substrate consists of rigid Polyisocyanurate (PIR) foam, widely recognised for superior thermal performance and fire-resistant characteristics.

Construction & Key Materials

These panels adopt a composite sandwich structure: Core Material The insulating core is rigid PIR foam. It delivers high thermal resistance and structural rigidity whilst maintaining a lightweight profile.

Facings

Protective, airtight facings are permanently bonded to both sides of the foam core. Two common options are available:

Aluminum Foil

Standard 80-micron foil, ideal for general indoor applications.

Aluminum Sheet

200-micron sheet offering enhanced strength and durability, suited for outdoor installations.

Fire protection, durability and operation and maintenance costs of PIR Air Ducting Panels

Fire Safety

PIR foam core: Class B1 flame retardant; aluminium foil surface: A1 non-combustible. Low smoke output and no dripping while burning. Complies with BS 476 and EN 13501, ideal for high fire-risk sites: data centres, subways and hospitals.

Long Service Life

Strong corrosion resistance. 95% strength retained after 720 hours acid/alkali immersion; no rust or pulverisation. Designed service life: 20 years. Galvanized steel ducts rust easily (5–8 years lifespan); phenolic ducts crack within 3–5 years.

Lower O&M Costs

Built-in moisture and corrosion resistance; no yearly rust removal and repainting required. Annual maintenance cost equals only 30% of traditional ducts. Low air leakage lessens load on main units, cutting fan loss and maintenance frequency. Total life-cycle costs are reduced by 30%–40%.

How to fabricate PIR Air Ducting Panels

Installation Process:

The pre-insulated panels are fabricated on-site or in a workshop into duct sections.

The process involves: Tracing, cutting, and folding the panels.

Joining the sections with adhesives, tape, and aluminum profiles.

Sealing the joints to ensure the system is airtight.

PRE-INSULATED DUCT vs G.I. DUCTWORK

Metric	20mm PIR Pre - Insulated Duct (with 0.08mm Alu. Foil, )	0.5mm G.I Duct + 30mm Rubber Plastic (40-90kg/m³)
Fire Safety	Compliant (Class 0/BS 476, AS 1530.3). Self-extinguishing PIR core, low toxic smoke, non-combustible alu foil.	G.I non-combustible; rubber plastic fire-retardant but requires coating to meet strict codes.G.I
Thermal Insulation	Excellent. λ=0.020 W/m·K, no thermal bridging. 20mm integrated structure ensures consistent insulation.	Fair. λ=0.035 W/m·K, thermal bridging at G.I joints. 30mm insulation offset by metal conductivity.
Hygiene & Air Quality	Superior. Non-porous alu foil, smooth inner surface, moisture-resistant PIR. Meets cleanroom/hospital standards.	Poor. Porous rubber plastic traps dust/mold; G.I-insulation gaps breed pathogens.
Lightweight	1.4-1.5 kg/m². Ultra-light, reduces structural load; ideal for retrofits/timber-framed buildings.	5.1–6.3 kg/m². Heavy G.I base + bulk insulation; requires reinforced supports.
Energy Efficiency	Excellent. 20–30% lower HVAC energy consumption. Minimizes heat gain/loss in conditioned air.	Low. 20–30% higher energy loss due to inferior insulation and thermal bridging.
Ease of Construction	Easy. Factory-prefabricated tongue-and-groove joints. No separate insulation step; 40–60% less labor time.	Complex. Two-step on-site process: G.I duct fabrication + rubber plastic wrapping. Labor-intensive, prone to gaps.
Quiet Operation	Good. PIR core absorbs 10–15 dB airflow noise; alu foil dampens vibration.	Fair. Rubber plastic provides basic sound reduction, but G.I vibration and insulation gaps reduce efficiency.
Space Savings	Excellent. 20mm total thickness (all-in-one). Fits tight ceilings/retrofit cavities.	Poor. 30.5mm total thickness (0.5mm G.I + 30mm insulation). Bulky, requires larger installation space.
Environmental Friendliness	Balanced. CFC/HCFC-free PIR, recyclable alu foil. 20–30-year lifespan; net carbon positive in 1–3 years.	Low. Rubber plastic non-recyclable; 10–15-year lifespan. Frequent replacement increases waste; higher energy emissions.
Air Leakage	Superior. ≤2% air leakage (EN 1507, AS/NZS 3660.1). Airtight factory joints + alu foil vapor barrier.	Poor. 5–10% air leakage. On-site sealing gaps; separate vapor barrier required.
