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.
A new study comparing cellular glass and aerogel insulation materials reveals significant differences in cost, safety and long-term performance that challenge conventional selection criteria for LNG facilities.
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.
David Burd, Air Distribution Products Technical Manager for North America at Owens Corning, sits down with SNIPS NEWS to discuss duct insulation options and tradeoffs.
