Today, all across the US, the world has changed again because of the coronavirus. 

I recently received a somewhat anxious call from a friend in the sheet metal industry. He won a nice duct order, but his submittals were being rejected because he needed to provide published performance data for his duct fittings. 

You might think that any duct installation is a team effort, and you would be right. There has to be a fair amount of coordination between installers, fabricators, vendors and other contractors for a project to be done right and on time. 

Did you know that using spiral duct can reduce the number of duct supports you need, as well as reduce the structural size necessary?

Managing design, fabrication, installation and expectations are all important factors in successful exposed ductwork installations. But many contractors overlook one simple task. 

I recently had a son graduate from college. To celebrate, my wife and I took a group out to a week-old new restaurant. 

Duct systems leak. HVAC construction contractors, duct manufacturers and sheet metal products manufacturers have always acknowledged that duct systems are not 100 percent airtight.
