WHY HOTEL TURNED TO THERMAROUND AND THERMADUCT FOR HIGH EFFICIENCY OUTDOOR DUCTING NEEDS
In 2021, construction was taking place on a new downtown Boston hotel. Located near the waterfront of Boston Harbor, this facility had a large portion of their HVAC system designed outdoors which allowed the ductwork to be exposed to the elements. To give their duct system high resistance to not only rain, snow and ice, but also any corrosion that may be experienced near the coast, vinyl cladded Thermaround and Thermaduct were chosen.
Providing the duct, insulation and cladding all in one high quality product, Thermaround and Thermaduct offered this application many benefits including higher insulated values and lower air leakage, protected by a corrosion resistant 1000 micron vinyl cladding.

Thermaround is a lightweight solution for applications that require insulated ductwork. Providing an R-12 insulated value and extremely low air leakage, this system provides an excellent weather resistant solution in a shape that's great for outdoors. Using factory laminated insulated phenolic panels paired with our patented forming processes, many applications have Thermaround sections with a continuous cladded surface with as few as one solvent welded seam.
