The choice of duct liner materials in HVAC systems can significantly affect fire safety by impacting smoke development and spread, writes ES NEWS Guest Columnist David Burd of Owens Corning.

Thermaduct’s Thermatuff phenolic panels simplify HVAC duct insulation and installation by enabling use in pre-insulated, lined, and glueless sheet metal systems for commercial applications.

Insulating a 62-inch duct is no small ask. Between engineering concerns with weight in an older building and the logistics of something so large, the folks at Hamlin Sheet Metal in Benson, North Carolina, needed an alternative to a double-walled system.

Today’s construction industry needs smarter solutions to keep projects on budget, on schedule, and in line with tough environmental standards. Insulated metal panels (IMPs) are stepping up, writes Karim Muri of Kingspan. 

Kingspan is offering expanded domestic production capacity from Mattoon, Illinois, for data centers, healthcare, education, and more.

The newly renovated Borlaug Center makes use of mechanical insulating materials that support resilience and efficiency.

Remember to take your climate zone into account if you’re considering burying insulated flexible ducts so you don’t create future problems with moisture.
