Insulated and clad external ductwork on a commercial roof

Ductwork insulation and cladding

External insulation for HVAC ductwork, with metal cladding wherever the duct is exposed to weather or damage.

Energy efficient, weather tight duct

We externally insulate supply, return, exhaust and outside air ductwork to the R value in the specification and NCC Section J, sealed so it performs as designed.

Rooftop and external duct is then clad in metal and sealed against the weather, so the insulation stays dry for the life of the building.

  • Foil faced blanket
  • Acoustic lagging
  • Metal cladding
  • Weather sealing

External duct insulation

Supply, return, outside air and exhaust ductwork insulated with foil faced glasswool or Rockwool blanket to the R value the NCC and the specification call for, taped and sealed so it performs as designed.

Rooftop and external duct cladding

Duct on the roof needs more than insulation. We clad it in Colorbond, Zincalume or aluminium with sealed joints, falls, weatherheads and access sections, so water runs off and the insulation stays dry, like the double skin Colorbond system on the Australian Museum in Sydney.

Plant rooms and risers

Inside, duct is insulated around fittings, dampers and access panels without blocking maintenance, and clad where it can be knocked.

Ductwork insulation and cladding: common questions

Can you insulate and clad duct on a roof?

Yes. External duct is insulated, then clad in metal with sealed joins and falls so water runs off and the insulation stays dry.

Do you do internally lined duct?

We focus on external insulation and cladding. Talk to us about the job and we will tell you straight what we can do.
