Pre insulated ducting is a type of ducting which is pre insulated and no other insulating
material is required to insulate, and hence insulation cost reduces.
Pre- insulation ducting is a highly efficient ductwork system that distributes cleaner air.
The system is constructed with a insulation core, faced on both sides with an aluminum
coated, corrosion-resistant polymer.
This system offers excellent thermal and acoustic performance in a fire safe system and
is a more economical and efficient all in one alternative to conventional sheet metal and
insulation ductwork.
Suitable for use in commercial projects i.e. schools, hospitals, office blocks etc.

PIR insulation can be a mechanical irritant to skin, eyes, and upper respiratory system
during fabrication (such as dust).
Types of supporting
Teardrop hangers - offers stability and ease of installation with only one connection
fitting. The tear-drop design makes installing and hanging a variety of duct simple.
Saddle hangers - A sturdy, vertically and horizontally stable option, sometimes called a
'pipe hanger,' is typically attached to rods or angel supports. This installation provides
excellent support and security of the ductwork system. Saddle hangers usually take a bit
longer to position and install, so they are often used in conjunction with other hangers.
Cable hangers - Often called 'trapeze' or Gripple hangers, cable hangers are fast and
easy. The cables are secured by Gripple style clamps and suspend the duct in a 'trapeze-
like' hammock. This option is most often used in conjunction with other more stable
hangers as it offerings little horizontal support.
Fast lock hangers - A great option for installing clamp together duct. The bracket slides
under the clamp, over the rolled lip of the duct and is secured when the clamp is locked.
Sturdy, easy to install and offers flexibility of support.
Clamp Hanger - A lighter weight version of the fast lock hanger that is composed of a
smaller bracket that attaches to the clamp.
Hat Hangers - A saddle hanger style hanger with an added 'hat' at the top to allow for a
threaded rod/nut to attached to the ceiling, floor or wall.
