NO SLUMP
EnviroVent has launched the Fast Track Range of semirigid ducting , offering a complete solution for energy efficient , airtight and rapid install ducting .
A comprehensive portfolio of ductwork and component parts , the Fast Track Range can be installed quickly and easily , even by less experienced installers .
The new Fast Track Range of semi-rigid ducting is available in various circular and semi-circular dimensions . All ductwork can connect to one universal distribution box by use of adaptors . There are three sizes of ducting to suit domestic and small non-domestic systems . The air distribution boxes meet with Airtightness Class C ( EN12237 ) and provide easy post-installation access to restrictors and for maintenance . Semirigid ducting outperforms flexible ducting as it maintains a fixed diameter for airflow by avoiding ‘ slump ’. When this occurs in flexible ducting , it can restrict airflow as well as resulting in a pooling of condensation in the pipework .
When ducting is selected and installed correctly , it can improve and prolong the efficiency of the whole system , leading to long term low maintenance .
EnviroVent provides a comprehensive choice of energy efficient and sustainable ventilation products . The company prides itself on manufacturing the Lifetime Range products at its factory in Harrogate , North Yorkshire . For further information visit : www . envirovent . com

MESHED UP
RABScreens provides external mesh protection screens , also known as air intake screens , for all air movement equipment .
The filter media is an engineered mesh composed of polyester and polypropylene . The polyester is negatively charged and polypropylene is positively charged and air movement excites the mesh to create an electrostatic charge . Airborne contaminants are attracted to this charge and are captured by the mesh .
The air intake screens can improve efficiency and save energy by reducing the clogging effect of airborne debris , save you money by extending the life of your filters and reduce the number of maintenance visits required .
They are very easy to install , especially with the new MagnaMount , and will start working immediately .
Distributor installers are available throughout the UK and Europe . For further information visit : www . rabscreen . com
