Sealing
Duct sealing is the critical process of applying specialized sealants, gaskets, and tapes to all joints, seams, and connections within HVAC ductwork. This ensures the system maintains a high level of airtightness, which is fundamental to system performance and compliance with energy standards. The process of ensuring airtightness prevents conditioned air—whether heated or cooled—from escaping the distribution system via leakage. This leakage is often classified according to international standards and preventing it stops the air handling unit and fan from having to overwork to compensate for lost airflow. Effective duct sealing is crucial for maximizing energy efficiency, significantly reducing operational costs and carbon emissions. It guarantees that the designed airflow reaches the intended zones, thereby ensuring optimal thermal comfort and maintaining system control and balance across the entire building.
