Ecoduct is innovative, high-performance non-metallic pre-insulated HVAC ductwork system that saves energy, cuts costs and time, reduces environmental impact and delivers clean air.
About
EcoDuct is the only UK developer and manufacturer of non-metallic phenolic ductwork of all shapes and sizes. Our unique and innovative fabrication process uses an advanced supercut CNC 5-axis machine with a tangential razor knife cutting head with full 360 degrees rotational and pivot angles. This allows precision cutting of the phenolic insulation panels from which we fabricate our ductwork, and does not require any further stabilising material to be able to manufacture a lightweight and yet extremely robust AC duct. We have also developed the software to operate the machine, with one of the key processes being the efficient nesting of the raw materials, thereby generating close to zero waste.
Key Benefits
1. Up to 85% lighter than insulated metal ductwork 2. Up to 70% savings in installation time – a single fit of ductwork, insulation and final cover 3. Saves up to 45% of the energy costs of AC systems - operational carbon 4. Saves up to 75% in the carbon footprint (CO2) of the installation - embodied carbon 5. Improves operational performance of the ductwork system through optimal thermal, airflow and fire/smoke performance 6. Reduces site and factory waste to close to zero 7. Improves cradle-to-cradle circularity - ability to recycle, recover and reuse
Applications
EcoDuct can be used wherever insulated HVAC ductwork is required, for indoor and outdoor applications, for commercial, industrial and residential use and for new builds, retrofit and in off-site modules
