Duct boards by Rockwool have a mineral wool insulation core with an outer foil layer. Duct boards give superior thermal insulation to ducts, cold water storage, feed and expansion tanks. Since duct slabs are made of mineral wool, they give superior sound insulation and can be used to insulate rectangular or square shared ducts that contain a high-velocity flow of gas or liquids. Hence, duct boards not only help the ducts in your h&V system save energy, but also make the workplace more productive and efficient. Duct boards are also non-combustible and have superior fire resistance. They have the highest possible fire rating A1 by Euroclass.
Correctly installed duct boards prevent any air leakage from the ducts and prevent pollutants from entering the H&C system. They hence optimise the ducts' performance, which in turn helps make the building more energy-efficient. The outer foil facings of duct insulation provide continuous protection against moisture. As a result, problems like condensation and duct sweating can be reduced to a minimum.
Ductboards enhance indoor air quality, as they prevent pollutants from entering the system. A properly installed duct wrap with appropriate service labels improves workplace safety. Duct boards are chemically inert, rot-proof and do not support the growth of moulds, fungi etc. They are also easily cut with a sharp knife, easy to use and install.
Key Features:
Duct insulation boards by Rockwool are acoustically absorbent
They are non-combustible, easy to handle and install
Duct boards are water repellent and chemically inert
Rockwool duct boards are compatible with all types of pipes, ducts, equipment and fittings
They are rot-proof material that does not encourage or support the growth of fungi, moulds or bacteria.
Application:
Duct board is better suited to rectangular and square ducts due to their rigidity.
It is often applied to air conditioning, warm air and extractor ducts, located in plant rooms, boiler houses or externally.
Fire Performance:
The products are classified A1 in accordance with BS EN 13501-1.
Rockwool duct board complies with the definitions of non-combustible in all UK and Ireland Building Regulations.
Sound Insulation:
Rockwool duct boards give excellent acoustic insulation to high-velocity ducts, particularly to those carrying gases, fluids or particle solids.
Durability
Mineral wool insulation by Rockwool is long-lasting and durable.
Duct boards have a proven service life of over 60 years and usually last the lifetime of the building, plant, or structure.
Duct boards perform exceptionally even in a wide range of climates and degrees of exposure.
Environment:
Rockwool Ductwrap is made from a renewable and plentiful naturally occurring resource. It is also 97% recyclable.
It saves fuel costs and energy, thus making your building more energy-efficient.
Rockwool duct insulation does not contain gases that have ozone depletion potential (ODP) or global warming potential (GWP).
