Case study
Application: HVAC Ducts Product: Bradford Glasswool, Supertel 32kg/m3: Sound Attenuation and Thermal Resistance
Application Overview
Commercial HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) systems are typically driven by large central motors that push conditioned air to each room of a building through a complex network of metal ducts.
It's within these ducts that CSR Bradford provide a high performance insulation solution that ensures the HVAC system achieves energy efficiency targets and delivers thermal and acoustic comfort to building occupants.

Bradford Supertel 32kg/m3 is a high performance insulation that's installed inside HVAC ducts for sound attenuation and thermal resistance. The product can be acoustically tuned with a range of factory applied facing materials such as Heavy Duty Perforated Foil.
The product reduces noise from the HVAC motors travelling through the ducts into the rooms while it's thermal performance helps maintain a consistent air temperature throughout the long network of ducts.
Commercial HVAC ducts are manufactured and insulated offsite by specialised sheet metal fabricators. During the duct manufacturing process, metal pins are welded to each internal face so that the insulation can be impaled and positioned as a continuous internal lining. Metal clips secure the insulation in place and metal angles or foil HVAC tape are installed to complete corners and edges.
