Duct Insulation
Panels & Pipes understands how important efficient air duct insulation can be. They provide duct insulation services all throughout North America and in all types of varying climates. Their experience in insulation of heating and cooling air ducts is vast and their certified team of experts can help you determine what best suits your needs.
In humid climates or in areas where there is a high probability of metal ducts being exposed to moisture or humidity, Panels & Pipes’ experienced duct insulators can provide you with quick, cost effective and quality duct insulation solutions saving you a lot of hassle and future unnecessary costs.
Insulation of heating or cooling air ducts in unconditioned areas improves efficient functioning and reduces energy consumption. In the case of metal ducts, proper duct insulation is absolutely necessary to prevent condensation on the metal and the resultant rusting and damage.
Although Panels & Pipes works with various types of insulation, fibreglass is the most commonly used duct insulating material. It is available in various degrees of thickness and flexible or rigid varieties. The Blanket type flexible duct insulating material is available in rolls and is most suitable for round and rectangular ducts. The rigid variety of insulation, on the other hand, is available in the form of boards which are bonded with a thermosetting resin. These work on rectangular ducts.
Duct insulation improves the output of the machinery and saves energy consumption. It has several other benefits, some of which include:
- In cold pipes, proper insulation reduces or eliminates condensation.
- It does not allow dangerous pipe temperatures, protecting the pipe.
- It controls noise.
- In domestic use, it reduces wait time for hot water and allows the water temperature at point of use to be closer to that of the water heating system
- In air conditioned area, it reduces unwanted heat gain.
In buildings, the ideal insulation depends on the temperature difference between the ducts and the surrounding air.
