If you’re designing duct work in Durham for any kind of property, we have the ideal services for you. Even better, we can also provide a number of important tips to help you get the best results. They can improve performance, air quality, energy efficiency, health and safety, and more.
Start early
The best duct work tip we can give is to start designing as early as you can. You will have an easier time if you think about the HVAC system and ducts at the beginning of a project, whether it is a new build or a fit out. Make sure you consider airflow demands and ventilation needs.
Locations and routing
People tend to spend the most time considering where to place key things like fans and pumps in HVAC systems. However, it is equally important to think about the ducts. Do you want them along ceilings or would you prefer to hide them in ceilings, under floors, or in walls? In terms of the route, plan the most efficient way to move air around the property. Make sure you consider safety too.
Specifying the ducts to use
There are a number of different types of ducting to choose from. We’re familiar with all of them from offering exceptional duct work in Durham and many other parts of England. Broadly, they fall into one of two categories; rigid and flexible. You can then look at different individual types, including options like sheet metal ducts, fibreboard or fibreglass lined, food grade PU, flexible aluminium, and more.
There is a lot to think about here, such as the profile and whether you need flexibility for easier routing. A great tip is to consider different options and then select the most effective one for the property.
Connections and bends
Finally, when you are designing duct work, be careful when you design connections and bends. There is a greater risk of leaks if you have lots of connections. It also means the installation will take longer. Bends have an impact on airflow and can make systems noisier. Where possible, avoid any connection or bend.
