What is PIR Foam Duct board?
(PIR) polyisocyanurate foam is a pre-insulated duct board panel, which consist of a foam core and an aluminium foil faced material.
It is used as a sustainable and energy efficient alternative to Metal fabricated duct. It has different thicknesses ranging from R1.0 up to R3.0 to meet common national construction code.
This new generation duct is ideal for specifications where space or weight is restricted. Compared with traditional sheet metal ductwork, Pre-insulated HVAC duct offer a high performance, lightweight and robust ductwork that requires only minimum installation efforts. This not only makes it a high speed operation for projects on which time is critical but also provides the advantage of a considerable saving in cost and space.
It can make a saving of over 20% on operating costs over a 30 year life.
Why use Ductboard?
With the need to provide solutions to reduce the carbon footprint of construction, Ductboard starts by eliminating the need to use huge amounts of sheet metal to provide the distribution of conditioned ventilation to multiple areas. Ductboard also requires less energy to manufacture, leading to a huge holistic embodied energy saving and CO2 reduction. The need for big heavy machinery to fabricate metal ductwork is eliminated, again reducing the carbon footprint of this product.
Ductboard is easily managed and worked to provide accurate designed ductwork sections with the use of CNC equipment. This can be tailored with computer building design equipment to perfect the end product. The need for high structural support loadings to cater for metal ductwork is reduced using ADA Ductboard™ as the light weight will reduce these, providing efficiencies within the building structure necessary in supporting ductwork loads. The reduced weight reduces the mass per metre loadings used for AS1170.4 earthquake compliance. Another advantage of ADA Ductboard™ is the reduction in size of the equivalent fabricated metal ductwork, increasing net lettable space or reducing the ceiling space required.
Due to the light weight of the panel, the transportation costs are reduced. Onsite delivery and onsite handling of the product can be easily done by a smaller crew with minimal lifting equipment. With these efficiencies comes reduced installation times leading to faster builds and therefore reduction in building construction costs.
