Pre-insulated Ductwork

 

 

How to make PID Panel Ductwork?

 

Step 1 - Tracing: outline the duct shapes on the panel.

Step 2 - Cutting: Using manual cutting tools, cut along the panel edges and create 90 degree "V" grooves on the panel.

Step 3 - Gluing: Apply glue to the cutting surfaces of the panels.

Step 4 - Folding: After the glue is cured, fold the sides toward each other to from the straight duct.

Step 5 - Taping: The tape is applied only to the external seams of the duct where the sides of the panel were joined for air-tightness.

Step 6 - Flanging: After applying glue and positioning the steel angle bracket, process to fit the PVC or aluminum invisible flanges.

Step 7 - Reinforcement: reinforce the duct with an aluminum reinforcement bar and G.I. Shaped disks, if necessary.

Step 8 - Sealing: After the duct is assembled, seal all internal joints hermetically with silicone.

Environmental Friendliness of PID Panel Ductwork

PU foam ductwork

This composite duct material is produced using environmentally sustainable raw feedstocks with strict control over harmful chemical compositions.

 

 

It achieves zero discharge of toxic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) throughout its service life and maintains an extremely low formaldehyde concentration that meets mainstream international indoor environmental certifications.

 

 

Boasting reliable safety performance and excellent health compatibility, the product is well-suited for indoor HVAC ventilation duct systems across all categories of occupied construction projects, covering civil residential buildings, commercial premises, institutional facilities and public service buildings, effectively avoiding indoor air pollution risks caused by ductwork materials.

PRE-INSULATED DUCT vs G.I. DUCTWORK

Metric

20mm PU 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 PU 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 PU. 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.
PU 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 PU, 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.
