Choosing the Right Flex Duct
Properly installed and insulated flex duct for HVAC can significantly reduce energy loss, leading to lower costs and better system performance. Choosing the right type for the job means taking the environment, air flow requirements, and space constraints all into consideration. We’ve laid out some of the most distinctive features of different types below to help you find the right kind of flex job for any kind of job.
A Jacket for Every Occasion
Gray polyester jacket air ducts are known first and foremost for their moisture resistance because of their polyester layer that protects the insulation and maintains the integrity of the duct shape.
Metalized jacket air ducts are reflective, which not only helps with visibility, but also helps with temperature control. Their shiny, metalized exterior helps reflect heat, keeping the interior temperature more consistent. These flex duct for HVAC products are also designed to remain mold and mildew-free throughout their lifespan. Each type of jacket air duct contains formaldehyde-free insulation, which is substantially less irritating than traditional insulation. The residential series is made of a double ply polyester core with an encapsulated wire helix and is available in either a black or metalized polyester jacket.
Creating Cohesion
Air connectors keep different sections of ductwork together while sleeves in the system encase and protect that ductwork.
Sleeves also provide an additional layer of insulation that protects ductwork against physical damage and temperature fluctuations.
Extra Strong Solutions
