Flexible Ducts in UAE

Flexible Duct suppliers in UAE

Insulated Flexible Ducts better known as flex air ducts are those materials applied in HVAC systems. These components are designed with materials using aluminum foil or plastic which enables these elements to bend and twist to fit into tight spaces in residential and commercials spaces. These Insulated flexible ducts play a major role in preventing the loss and gain of heat as air travels through them. These insulated flexible ducts control the temperature of air being transferred by enhancing energy efficiency and minimal cost on heating and cooling. These ductworks are cost effective and are applied in spaces like attics, crawl spaces and walls of residential and commercial sectors.

Types of Insulated Flexible Ducts

Insulated flexible ducts play a significant role in both residential and commercial sectors. Some of the types of flexible ducts provided by Flexible Duct suppliers in UAE are Foil-Faced Insulated Flexible Ducts, Fiber Glass Insulated Flexible Ducts, Aluminum Insulated Flexible Ducts and PVC and Polyethylene Flexible Ducts. These insulated flexible ducts are applied in HVAC systems of both residential and commercial buildings and facilitate the transfer of air by providing insulation with temperature control and minimal energy loss.

Fiber Glass Insulated Flexible Ducts

The fiber glass insulated duct system comes with aluminum or polyester built material. These systems preserves the heat and cooling energy as well as maintaining the duct borne noise present in HVAC systems of both residential and commercial sectors. These insulated duct systems require deep cleaning process where dust enters through duct due to lack of filtration or poor maintenance and has highest velocity ratings.

Aluminum Insulated Flexible Ducts

The aluminum flexible ducts system are built with duct material called aluminum which are light weight, corrosion resistant and durable. These Insulated Flexible Ducts systems good conductor of heat that permits heat transfer inside the duct. These duct work systems are flexible it can be twisted, bent to fit into tight spaces. These insulated flexible ducts are equipped with insulation layer that offers protection for the insulation and maintain integrity for the duct.

Installation Guides for Insulated Flexible Ducts

Installing flexible duct require few procedures. Before installing few materials are require for successful installation namely, Insulated flexible ducts, Duct tape or zip ties, HVAC foil tape, Wire cutters, Utility knife, Screwdriver, Measuring tape and Gloves.

• Bring out all the required tools and materials needed for installation work while turning off HVAC system to avoid potential accidents.
• Apply the measuring and cutting tools like duct for measuring the length to the supply outlet with cutting equipment's like knife to cut the insulated flexible duct.
• Connect to the outlets using one end of the insulated flexible duct to the supply outlet with duct tape. Use HVAC foil tape for sealing purposes.
• Route the insulated flexible duct to its designated area with the help of duct straps
• Connect the insulated flexible duct to the register with the support of duct tapes.
• Check the length of the flexible duct work for any sign of gaps or tears. Seal them with foil tape to avoid air leakage.
• A final cross checking must be implemented on all the connections and seals of the HVACs systems along with cleaning to avoid debris.

Applications of Insulated Flexible Ducts

• Insulated Flexible Ducts play a major role in residential systems of HVAC systems like attics, crawl spaces, and between floors due to its flexibility advantage.
• Commercial sectors like offices, retail spaces, and healthcare facilities where flexible ducts are applied on HVAC systems to distribute air to different zones.
• Industrial facilities often require robust ventilation systems to maintain air quality, control temperature, and remove contaminant.
• Industrial clean room like pharmacy, electronic manufacturing uses Insulated Flexible Ducts to minimize airborne particles and contaminants.
