Are you looking to install new ductwork in the near future? If so, now is a great time to learn about the many advantages of spiral round duct.
Cost Effective Installation
Spiral round duct has a variety of unique characteristics that can help curb installation costs. For one thing, spiral ductwork has longer spans than rectangular ductwork, which reduces the number of operations required in the installation process. Spiral round duct is also easier to install around existing structural framework than its rectangular counterpart, and is generally easier to seal. All of these factors together make for easier installation, and easier installation means cheaper installation costs.
Spiral Ductwork Leaks Less
Another benefit of spiral round duct is that it tends to leak less than rectangular duct. This is due in large part to the fact that spiral ductwork lacks longitudinal seams, which account for a significant amount of leakage in rectangular ducts. Additionally, spiral ductwork generally has fewer joints than rectangular ductwork, which also helps prevent air leakage.
Spiral Round Duct is Energy Efficient
If energy efficiency is a characteristic you value in ductwork, spiral round duct is the way to go. Because spiral round ducts have less surface area than rectangular ducts, less friction is created when air moves through them. When there is less friction created by the air flowing through a duct, less energy is lost. Using spiral duct instead of rectangular duct also leads to heat conservation, because a smaller surface area makes it more difficult for heat to be lost through the walls of the ductwork.
Spiral Round Duct is Visually Appealing
In addition to providing the aforementioned functional benefits, spiral round duct is visually appealing. It can lend a stylish, modern look to an indoor environment, or it can be painted to blend in with its surroundings.
There are a lot of great reasons to choose spiral pipe when installing new ductwork. If you want to learn more about spiral round duct and its many benefits, contact Spiral Manufacturing at 763-755-7677 or send an email to info@spiralmfg.com.
