The danger of freezing walls and condensation
When looking for ways to save money during ventilation installation, insulation often becomes a false economy. If you decide to wrap the main outdoor air supply pipes in the cheapest, thinnest wool, you will quickly face unpleasant problems. Wool eventually collapses from moisture and temperature differences, exposing the cold, bare metal of the pipe.
Water droplets instantly begin to accumulate in these exposed areas. Freezing outdoor air cools the route, and the ceilings or walls of your utility room soon become decorated with dark mold spots, which will require significant investments and new renovations to remove.
Cost-effective and reliable thermal insulation
EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) ducts offer a perfect balance between a low price and the highest thermal resistance. Because the pipe itself is made of thick and warm foam (EPS), the cold simply cannot penetrate to the outer surface. This means your boiler room or attic will always remain dry and hygienic.
Furthermore, efficient heat retention directly lowers your electricity bills. The already warmed air inside the system does not cool down as it travels through cold, unheated rooms in the building, so your main heat recovery units can operate at minimal cost without engaging additional electric heaters.
The most efficient price-to-quality ratio – EPS ducts guarantee top-class thermal insulation at a much more accessible engineering price than rigid alternatives, making them ideal for budget projects.
