ToughGard and Ultra*Duct Black perform at air velocities of up to 5,000 fpm (25.4 m/s). Both also perform at maximum internal pressures of ± 2" (51 mm) water gauge, and 250°F (121°C). Duct board products regularly meet the requirements of the following current specifications, standards and codes:
Material Specifications UL181 for Factory Made Air Ducts and Air Connectors, Class 1 Rigid. Closure systems must meet the requirements of UL 181A.
Fire Safety Standards NFPA 90A, NFPA 90B
Building Code ICC
GREENGUARD® Children & Schools
Acoustically Excellent
Keeps air rush and equipment noise in a home to a minimum.
Helps reduce noise generated by cross talk, system expansion and air movement.
Thermally Efficient
Improves energy efficiency and saves homeowners money by reducing heat loss or gain.
Duct board system with properly sealed joints virtually eliminates leakage common with sheet metal ducts.
Reduces or eliminates call-backs and results in satisfied homeowners.
Moisture Resistant
Provides superior moisture resistance compared to other duct boards.
Reduces homeowner concern about problems from condensation, mold and bacterial growth.
Cleanable
Easily cleaned thanks to abrasion-resistant airstream surface.
Surface is treated with an EPA-registered antimicrobial agent to reduce the potential for microbial growth.
Cost Effective
Resists damage during fabrication, installation, and cleaning.
Generally costs less than sheet metal ductwork.
