Meet the Kingspan KoolDuct System, a High-Quality HVAC Duct Product
What is KoolDuct?
The Kingspan KoolDuct System is an innovative, pre-insulated, closed cell phenolic ductwork offering a 2-in-1 product with many advantages to both the contractor and the building owner. Most ductwork products on the market are made from galvanized sheet metal with the requirement of needing to be insulated after installation, making it a more lengthy and challenging task to complete the project quickly and efficiently. KoolDuct offers a ductwork product that is already insulated with R-values all the way up to R-24.
What are Some of the Advantages to KoolDuct?
KoolDuct is Pre-insulated & Pre-assembled
The fact that KoolDuct is pre-insulated and pre-assembled means that project timelines can be greatly reduced and no insulation contractor is required. This also helps to save money on equipment and labor. KoolDuct, with its pre-insulated design, also means that it can be mounted flush to pretty much any surface without any additional space needed to be reserved for insulation. The amount of space saved in any dimension is up to 6-8” (150-200 mm) because the space needed to install the insulation has been eliminated.
KoolDuct is Lightweight & Easy to Install
KoolDuct is lightweight, reducing the number of crewmembers required, and again, helping to speed up the project timeline. Compared to traditional sheet metal ductwork, KoolDuct is up to 72% lighter. KoolDuct is contractor-friendly not only because of its low weight, but also because it is fabricated in up to 13 ft. sections (rather than 4 or 5 ft sections) thereby saving labor costs from reducing the total number of joints of duct that need to be installed.
KoolDuct Offers Low Air Leakage and Great Energy Savings
KoolDuct has some of the lowest air leakage rates in the industry, easily achieving a SMACNA Class 3 rating. With its low air leakage, the Kingspan KoolDuct System offers unbeatable energy savings over the course of its lifespan.
KoolDuct is UL 181 Listed Status
Passing the criteria for UL 181, KoolDuct is water-resistant, minimizing the chances of mold or bacterial growth and passes the burning test for UL 181. This provides for better IAQ and helps keep occupants safe. Furthermore, the flame-spread / smoke index is less than 25/50 (ASTM E 84 / UL 723).
Make KoolDuct Your Ductwork Product Choice
KoolDuct is a top contractor choice for many reasons: it is lightweight, easy to install, UL 181 listed, saves space, great savings in energy and running costs, supports good IAQ, and shortens project timelines. Overall, KoolDuct provides up to 20% in whole life cost saving over 30 years, compared to traditional galvanized sheet metal that is insulated with glass fiber. KoolDuct is ideal for both new and refurbishment projects and is especially ideal for buildings that need a fiber-free duct or is for a non-ferrous application. These include the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries, as well as places that prioritize IAQ like schools, hospitals, data centers, and buildings with high humidity environments like swimming pools. KoolDuct is offered in our patented Pro-R duct system for both outdoor and indoor designs. Contact our team today to discover how KoolDuct can be suited to your project.
