Importance of Domus Ducting
Installing high quality, correctly specified ducting has a higher initial investment but provides a quick payback in reduced energy, maintenance costs and quality of life for the occupants.
Efficient airflow is dependant on duct size, high quality surface finish and water tight joints. To achieve this, consistent profiles, tight extrusion tolerances and accurate mouldings are essential. Polypipe consider quality of utmost importance and this is reflected in our market leading Domus duct systems.

Helpful Installation Tips:
- Correctly pre-insulated duct ensures heat efficiency when duct passes through unheated spaces
- Appropriately sized duct reduces noise created by higher air speeds
-
Correct layout is vital to the effectiveness of the overall system for both energy efficiency and performance. Long runs and multiple sharp bends should be discouraged as more energy is required to move the air
- Seal joints using acrylic mastic
- Use rigid round duct wherever possible
- Use the largest appropriate sized duct
- Avoid using flexible hose wherever possible
- Check the extraction capability and connection
