Leading ventilation manufacturer EnviroVent has launched the Fast
Track Range of semi rigid ducting offering the complete solution for
energy efficient, airtight and rapid install ducting.
A
comprehensive portfolio of ductwork and component parts, the Fast Track
Range can be installed quickly and easily, even by less experienced
installers.
The new Fast Track Range of Semi-Rigid
Ducting is available in various circular and semi-circular dimensions.
All ductwork can connect to one universal distribution box by use of
adapters. There are three sizes of ducting to suit domestic and small
non-domestic systems. The air distribution boxes meet with Airtightness
Class C (EN 12237) and provide easy post-installation access to
restrictors and for maintenance. Semi rigid ducting outperforms flexible
ducting as it maintains a fixed diameter for air flow by avoiding
‘slump’. When this occurs in flexible ducting, it can restrict air flow
as well as resulting in a pooling of condensation in the pipework.
Rory
Percival, Technical Manager at EnviroVent, said: “Flexible ducting, as
well as poor quality connectors, are responsible for a high percentage
of issues with ventilation systems. To meet demand, we introduced our
own range to make it easier for specifiers and installers to choose high
quality ducting that offers long term performance over the lifetime of
the building. Installers will find it extremely user-friendly,
resulting in a more efficient system and with far less maintenance
issues in the future. It will also provide specifiers and building
owners with greater piece of mind as they will be confident that the
ventilation system is performing as it should for the long term.”
When
ducting is selected and installed correctly, it can improve and prolong
the efficiency of the whole system, leading to long term low
maintenance. On the other hand, a ventilation system that has issues
with the ducting, which can range from ‘slump’ of flexible types,
through to inadequate jointing mechanisms, is always going to
underperform. Poorly installed duct work can potentially damage the
ventilation unit and the fabric of the building. Indeed, an NHBC
(National Housebuilding Council) report from 2013 demonstrated how
poorly installed systems have a negative effect on indoor air quality
and the effectiveness of MVHR systems.
EnviroVent provides
a comprehensive choice of energy efficient and sustainable ventilation
products. The company prides itself on manufacturing the Lifetime
Range products at its factory in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, which in
turn supports the local economy and the UK manufacturing industry.
Within
its Lifetime range is a comprehensive selection of heat recovery,
positive input ventilation (PIV), mechanical extract ventilation,
mechanical ventilation with heat recovery systems and extract fans, to
suit a wide range of applications.
At the core of EnviroVent's philosophy lies the commitment to design innovative products that are not only energy efficient but save its customers money in long-term maintenance costs.
