Air Handling Insulation

A Full Line of Air Handling Products

Delivering greater comfort, improved indoor air quality, more cost-effective energy savings and a more sustainable solution.

For more than sixty years, fiber glass insulation has been used in the fabrication of air handling systems for residential, industrial and commercial structures. Fiber glass insulation provides quiet, efficient air delivery, cost-effective energy conservation and is the key to the quality of your indoor environment.

Fiber glass insulation is used in air handling systems for:

• Acoustical control—absorbs noise generated by central air handling equipment and air movement through the ducts
• Temperature control—delivers heated or cooled air at optimal comfort levels
• Energy conservation—controls heat loss or gain through air duct walls, reducing the HVAC operating costs

Knauf Insulation products are more sustainable than ever with ECOSE Technology. ECOSE Technology is a revolutionary new binder chemistry that is based on rapid renewable bio-based materials rather than non-renewable petroleum-based chemicals traditionally used in fiber glass insulation products. ECOSE Technology reduces binder embodied energy and does not contain phenol, formaldehyde, acrylics or artificial colors.

All Knauf Insulation Air Handling products with ECOSE Technology have recently earned GREENGUARD For Children and Schools^SM certification. GREENGUARD's Children and Schools standard sets even stricter indoor air quality requirements for applications like classroom and daycare facilities, addressing growing concerns over indoor pollution exposure among children.

Insulating with Knauf Air Duct Boards provides duct construction and insulation in a single step. Knauf Eclipse Air Duct Board has a mat faced airstream surface and provides significant energy savings and acoustical benefits. Air Duct Board-M with Hydroshield^® Technology is faced with a tightly bonded non-woven black mat for greater airstream surface durability.

Fiber glass duct liners are adhered to sheet metal with adhesive and metal fasteners so the interior of the duct or plenum is completely insulated—with no interruptions or gaps. Knauf Sonic XP Duct Liner combines durability with efficient sound absorption and low thermal conductivity. Knauf Rigid Plenum Liner is specifically designed for plenums and sheet metal ducts to reduce duct-transmitted noise.

You can insulate the exterior of sheet metal ducts by wrapping the metal duct with duct wrap, a flexible blanket of fiber glass with a vapor retarder facing. Duct wrap reduces heat loss or gain, conserves energy and controls moisture condensation. Flexible and lightweight, Knauf Friendly Feel^® Duct Wrap with KwikStretch^® Markings is perfectly suited for use on commercial or residential air ducts.
