Outdoor Duct Solved
Thermaduct is a patented pre-engineered duct system that incorporates the duct, insulation and cladding all in one high performance product. While other manufacturers use tapes, adhesives and screws, which experience degradation over time, Thermaduct uses a seamless heat formed corner or chemical welded seam to ensure impervious water integrity.
Premium Performance Pre–insulated Ductwork
The Kingspan KoolDuct System is an advanced and innovative pre–insulated HVAC ductwork system which offers benefits such as reduced installation time, low weight, space savings through flush–to–ceiling installation, increased performance and energy efficiency.

Outdoor Duct – The Ugly Truth
Air distribution is a part of a construction project that is often ignored, yet accounts for up to 30% of the HVAC energy utilized. Building construction has employed thermal transmission reduction initiatives through the emerging energy codes, but most ducting systems in the US have not even achieved the performance of the average windows being installed today. When you combine the poor thermal performance with the excessive air leakage rates … your existing duct is letting you down.
More imminent in most duct systems is migration of water into the air passage system. The proof is on the roofs of buildings that employ outdoor ductwork. Over time the performance of the moisture barrier degrades to a point where moisture is allowed in. Moisture reduces the performance of the insulation and augments microbial growth either on, or in, the duct.

While other manufacturers use tapes, adhesives and screws, which experience degradation over time, Thermaduct uses a seamless heat formed corner or chemical welded seam to ensure impervious water integrity. A water tight duct also provides low air leakage…Thermaduct keeps the conditioned air in and the outdoor elements out!
Thermaduct’s patented Airtruss System provides a strong internal framework to handle static and dynamic loads such as wind, snow and rain, ensuring a robust system designed for the elements.
There is simply no duct like it in the world. Thermaduct™ combines the best of air distribution technology with choice outdoor weather barrier to create a duct that o ffers the highest R value and lowest air leakage rates in the industry. Unsurpassed performance was the goal to create a duct that can not only deliver every cubic foot of air it is fed, but to treat the air with the utmost respect by not exposing it to fi brous or volatile organic chemical latent liners.

KoolDuct Premium Performance Pre–insulated Ductwork
The Kingspan KoolDuct System is an advanced and innovative pre–insulated HVAC ductwork system which offers benefits such as reduced installation time, low weight, space savings through flush–to–ceiling installation, increased performance and energy efficiency.
The system comprises premium performance Kingspan KoolDuct panels, fabrication methods, coupling systems and a complete line of accessories to produce pre–insulated rectangular ductwork in long sections. Ductwork fabricated from The Kingspan KoolDuct System can be installed indoors, outdoors, concealed above false ceilings and below raised floors.
An Overview of The Kingspan KoolDuct System
The Kingspan KoolDuct® system weighs up to 72% less than ductwork constructed from galvanized sheet steel insulated with fiber glass duct wrap. Kingspan KoolDuct® typically saves up to 6 – 8″ / 150-200 mm in a single dimension. Ductwork can be installed flush to ceilings, walls and floors, as well as to surfaces within confined enclosures, saving you space.
