DOUBLE WALL INSULATED ROUND DUCT
Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) is an essential aspect of any commercial business. Unfortunately, if you’re unaware of the various types of ductwork, you might end up spending a fortune each month on energy-inefficient machines. That’s where we come in – and that’s where insulated double wall spiral ducts come in.
With double-wall construction, the insulation is contained between the inner and outer metal shell. The insulation is therefore protected from external damage which can be a major concern for ductwork out of the building envelope like on rooftops. Also, if ducts are being installed in a visible location, like in an industrial-chic architectural application, the insulation is hidden from view.
Spiral ducts are the most efficient way to transport air across HVAC systems. Their round profile creates flow efficiencies much better than rectangular ductwork. Plus, since round ducts are much stronger than other types, they can be lighter metal gauges and can easily be installed in longer spans – with minimal leakage.
If you can draw it, we can make it.
- Long lengths of duct in various diameters from strip stock.
- Stronger and more durable than other pipes.
- Smooth interior for low friction loss with groove seams on the exterior.
- Energy-efficient and less expensive.
- Much less turbulence to ensure better airflow
What’s more, without spiral round ducts, you won’t be able to follow the ASHRAE Advanced Energy Design Guides. These insulated double wall spiral ducts can help reduce energy use throughout commercial buildings by as much as 50%. ASHRAE works to help its members achieve these goals by compiling research and assembling cost feedback that other firms wouldn’t be able to handle – or afford. These guidelines were constructed by some of the brightest engineers in the world.
Deciding what kind of ductwork to have installed throughout your commercial property is a major decision. You have so much you need to consider – especially when you’re trying to save energy and save money. That’s why we are here to help! At DC Duct & Sheet Metal, we will help you learn more about insulated double wall spiral ductwork and commercial HVAC.
SPIRAL DUCT MATERIAL OPTIONS
Our products are fabricated from a variety of materials. Not all of our products are available in all materials. All duct and fittings are manufactured to SMACNA-HVAC construction standards, metal and flexible, third edition, 2005. Some will exceed this standard.
