The Kingspan KoolDuct System Improves Installation Speed and Reduces Project Timelines

Speed is always important during construction projects. Ductwork that can be installed faster can contribute to shortening project timelines, thus reducing cost.

To analyze the speed of the Kingspan KoolDuct System, Rider Levett Bucknall, an independent consulting firm, analyzed six UK case studies. The analysis assessed the speed and benefits provided by standard insulated sheet metal ductwork and the Kingspan KoolDuct System.  

The analysis found that the Kingspan KoolDuct System:

  • Can be installed far quicker than standard sheet metal ductwork, with installation rates up to three times faster

  • Reduces construction periods for projects with ductwork 

  • Reduces risk and length of time extensions on project timelines

Another analysis conducted by mechanical and electrical engineering services firm, MDA Engineering, Inc., examined empirical data collected from two independent buildings owned and operated by Luther Home of Mercy. This analysis found that:

  • The Kingspan KoolDuct System fabrication and installation required only 513.75 labor man hours. However, the installation, construction and insulation of the typical sheet steel system required 714.75 hours. 

  • The Kingspan KoolDuct System could save up to 28% of labor man hour requirement. 

After reviewing the findings, it is easy to see that the Kingspan KoolDuct System is a top choice for construction projects where speed of installation and fabrication of ductwork is an important consideration.

Pre-Insulated Outdoor Duct System

For outdoor applications, our patented pro-R duct system utilizes a KoolDuct interior with a tough and weatherproof 22 gauge metal (steel or aluminum) exterior. This provides the ultimate solution in durability, efficiency and ease of install. Learn more at www.ductsandcleats.com/pro-r-1
