FAQ
What makes Aluminium PVC different from standard PVC?+
Aluminium PVC incorporates aluminium strands within the PVC matrix, dramatically increasing its strength and resistance to corrosion. This provides superior durability compared to standard PVC ducting, especially in exposed or damp locations.
Is Aluminium PVC suitable for outdoor use?+
Yes, but with careful consideration. While more resistant than standard PVC, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can degrade the material over time. We recommend protecting it from UV rays where possible and ensuring adequate support.
What diameters are available?+
We offer a range of diameters, typically from 63mm to 150mm. Please check the individual product specifications for exact dimensions before ordering to ensure compatibility with your extraction fan.
How easy is it to install?+
These ducts are designed for relatively straightforward installation using standard ducting connectors and adhesive tape. However, professional installation is recommended for complex setups or where building regulations apply.
What tools will I need?+
You’ll typically need a measuring tape, cutter (for PVC), adhesive tape, and possibly a pipe wrench depending on the connector fittings you are using. Always consult the manufacturer's instructions.
Can Aluminium PVC ducts be painted?+
Yes, they can be painted with suitable acrylic paints designed for plastics. However, avoid harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners that could damage the material’s surface.
What are the typical applications for this ducting?+
This type of ducting is commonly used in kitchens to vent extractor fans, bathrooms for removing steam, and conservatories to remove excess humidity. It's also suitable for ventilation systems in garages and sheds.
How does the aluminium PVC material compare to galvanised steel?+
Aluminium PVC is significantly lighter than galvanised steel, making it easier to handle and install, particularly in renovations or smaller spaces. It’s also less prone to rust and corrosion.
What are the temperature limitations for Aluminium PVC ducts?+
These ducts can typically operate within a temperature range of -10°C to +60°C. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures as this could affect their performance and structural integrity.
Are there any specific adhesives recommended for joining the ducting?+
We recommend using a PVC-specific adhesive tape or sealant designed for plumbing and ventilation applications. Ensure the surface is clean and dry before applying the adhesive for optimal bonding.
