Introducing Kingspan KoolDuct System
The KoolDuct System is a premium, pre-insulated Kingspan phenolic duct product that is both the ductwork and insulation all in one, providing labor savings and improved energy efficiency while also eliminating the need for an insulator. This innovative interior duct solution has been installed throughout the United States, Europe and Middle East and is also used in outdoor duct solutions such as the Pro-R duct system.
What is KoolDuct? What are Features of KoolDuct?
Kingspan KoolDuct System is a revolutionary HVAC ductwork product. KoolDuct is pre-insulated and is made of closed-cell foam. Its innovative design offers unmatched savings in energy costs in the HVAC industry, providing R-values from R-6 up to R-47 and incredibly low air leakage rates. Additionally, KoolDuct’s non-fibrous, rigid phenolic insulation core provides significant indoor air quality benefits. This leads to a high-performing building.

Why Phenolic Ductwork?
Phenolic ductwork is made using a high-performing alternative duct material. Phenolic duct systems like KoolDuct reduce duct leakage and increase thermal efficiency of HVAC systems. Using this type of duct product means that a contractor does not have to deal with separate ductwork and separate insulation, as it is pre-insulated, saving time, money, and reducing project timelines.
Kingspan KoolDuct can be installed internally or externally, above a false ceiling, or visibly mounted. It is quite versatile, providing an opportunity for plenums, risers, and other individual system components to be integrated to a standard sheet metal duct system.
KoolDuct Applications
The Kingspan KoolDuct® System is engineered to be used in building services and HVAC applications. It is perfect for both new and renovation projects on all levels- residential, commercial, industrial, and leisure sectors. KoolDuct is the preferred choice for the food, beverage, pharmaceutical industries, and other industries that require clean and hygienic air. In addition, high humidity environments are another application that KoolDuct outperforms competitors on due to its UL181 mold growth test. Swimming pools are no problem! Kingspan KoolDuct also is a top choice for communication or server rooms where non-fibrous material is preferred to keep everything running smoothly.
What are the Indoor Air Quality Benefits of KoolDuct
A big advantage to KoolDuct is that its insulation is fiber-free, offering a higher level of indoor air quality (IAQ) than standard ductwork. Traditional duct utilizes fiberglass insulation that releases fibers overtime and is also susceptible to mold due to its ability to absorb water.
Why You Should Choose Kingspan KoolDuct
If you are looking for a duct system product that offers thermal efficiency, unmatched cost savings on labor, IAQ benefits and a lightweight design that can be installed virtually anywhere, then KoolDuct would be an excellent choice for you.
