EcoDuct Market Update - 13 August 2024
EcoDuct Transformative Ductwork Technologies is unlike anything you’ve encountered before.
EcoDuct pre-insulated non-metallic ductwork is unlike any HVAC solution you've encountered. Leveraging our precision cutting and fabrication technology, EcoDuct delivers a robust, lightweight product—approximately 85% lighter than traditional metal ductwork with insulation—without compromising on strength or durability.
EcoDuct stands out as the ONLY ductwork in the UK and EU rated for air leakage as Class D at 2,500 Pa—an unmatched achievement. In other words, EcoDuct doesn’t leak, is incredibly durable, boasts an extended lifespan and saves energy, all while offering the inherent benefits of pre-insulated ductwork (more about that below).
The following graph shows the energy costs of just the leaking air, with substantial savings from the use of EcoDuct; alongside is the table of Air Leakage Classes achieved by EcoDuct for different shapes/connections:
EcoDuct also gives an appearance that is far superior to lagged metal ductwork, and can come in any RAL colour. In an exposed environment where aesthetics are becoming more and more important, the customized approach to ductwork gives a finish that is a step beyond where the industry is today.
Our commitment to quality and longevity is demonstrated through our unique offering: EcoDuct is the ONLY ductwork that comes with an extended warranty (covering the lifetime of the mechanical services) and a buy-back option.
EcoDuct also has unrivalled sustainability credentials and maximises off-site fabrication, adding meaningful value and providing all project stakeholders with solutions to the challenges of Net Zero and future-proofing of all buildings.
Some of the many other advantages include:
1. Only 1 fit on site - streamline installation with significant time savings and logistical efficiencies.
2. Cost effective - typically less expensive than the metal plus lagging equivalent, delivering value and quality
3. Great appearance and customizable finishes - available in any RAL colour, offering aesthetic flexibility
4. Lightweight advantage - up to 85% lighter than insulated metal ductwork, providing ease of delivery and manual handling on-site
5. Energy savings - circular and flat oval ductwork designs can reduce AC system energy costs by up to 45%, lowering operational carbon
6. Embodied carbon reduction - cuts system CO2 emissions by up to 75%, contributing to a greener future.
7. Sustainable design - maximum reusability, minimizing the need for recycling and optimizing circularity.
8. Environmental Compliance - fully aligns with standards such as BREEAM, LEED, and NABERS.
9. Superior performance - best-in-class airflow, thermal efficiency, fire safety, and smoke performance.
10. Corrosion resistance - high closed-cell content ensures minimal thermal degradation, even in hostile environments.
11. Lower lifetime costs - significantly reduces the total cost of ownership over the system’s life.
12. Non-toxic and inert materials - compliant with LBC, REACH, and free from prohibited substances.
13. Design flexibility - available in any shape, size, colour, or effect, accommodating all design needs.
14. Regulatory compliance - the phenolic insulation from which EcoDuct is fabricated is fully tested and meets all UK and EU regulations.
