Aluminium Duct
Aluminum ducts are commonly used to transport air in HVAC systems, including air conditioning and heating, throughout buildings. Known for their durability, aluminum ducts are also ideal for home dryer systems due to their rust-resistant properties, making them effective for venting warm, moist air. These ducts can be either flexible or rigid, with fiberglass insulation sometimes added to enhance thermal efficiency. The primary use of aluminum ducts is in heating and air conditioning applications, where their lightweight yet strong design allows for easy installation over long distances without excessive support. The flexibility of aluminum allows for easy bending, making it ideal for flexible ducts that can be installed in various configurations while maintaining an airtight seal. Insulated versions are available to improve energy efficiency by reducing heat transfer. Installation of aluminum ducts is straightforward, with rigid ducts supported by metal or plastic strapping or mounted on brackets. Flexible ducts can rest on uneven surfaces or be hung using strapping, requiring minimal support while maintaining an airtight seal for optimal airflow.
