Introduction

Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) systems are increasingly utilized for their ability to improve energy efficiency in buildings. Flexible ducting plays a crucial role in the functionality of MVHR systems, offering several advantages over traditional rigid ducting methods.

Benefits of Flexible Ducting

Ease of Installation

Flexible ducting is notably easier to install compared to rigid options. The flexibility allows installers to maneuver around obstacles and through tight spaces without requiring extensive modifications to the building structure. This capability results in reduced labor time and costs.

Adaptability

These ducts can be easily adapted to different layouts, making them ideal for retrofitting projects. When compared to rigid duct systems, which necessitate precise measurements and alignments, flexible ducting offers significant advantages in terms of adaptability.

Noise Reduction

The materials used in flexible ducting contain sound-absorbing properties that minimize noise levels generated by air movement. Noise-reduction ratings for flexible ducts can reach up to 25 decibels, significantly enhancing the comfort of the environment.

Cost-Effectiveness

The manufacturing and installation costs of flexible ducts tend to be lower than those for rigid ducts. For instance, flexible ducting materials are usually 20-30% less expensive, resulting in substantial savings on large projects.

Energy Efficiency

Flexible ducts can be installed with fewer joints, reducing potential points of air leakage. A properly installed system can achieve an air-seal performance of less than 2% leakage, enhancing the overall energy efficiency of an MVHR system.
