Kingspan launches new external ductwork system
KDuct is a pre-clad ductwork system made of thermoset fibre-free pre-insulated duct board and a heavy-duty outer jacket
Today, Kingspan Insulation claims its new fibre-free KDuct is a revolutionary pre-clad system.
According to the firm, KDuct is made of thermoset fibre-free pre-insulated duct board with a heavy-duty outer jacket.
This makes it useful for external and outdoor applications, plantrooms, risers, congested spaces and lightweight specifications
“Kingspan KDuct Pre-Clad Duct System offers high performance, rigid, closed-cell insulation core, manufactured with a blowing agent with zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) and low Global Warming Potential (GWP). At the same time, the panels are faced on both sides with an embossed aluminium foil,” said the company in a statement, adding that the new product line would provide ultra-strength and rigidness, cost-savings over traditional exterior ductwork, extra-low air leakage which does not allow conditioned air to escape and high–compressive strength “among several other benefits”.
Sarmad Fakhri, managing director, Kingspan Insulation, added: “KDuct Ductwork system would help our customers to save extra cost and time due to its lightweight and single fix properties”. Unlike the traditional approach to ductwork construction, which requires sections to be lagged with insulation once installed, Kingspan KDuct panels are pre-insulated with a high-performance insulation core. This single-fix and lightweight design reduces installation time and transfers the cost benefits to the building owners.
