Duct Armor
Here’s What Duct Armor Does and Why it is Important:
Seals Leaks and Cracks
Duct Armor is applied as a coating to the interior surfaces of air ducts. It effectively seals leaks, cracks, and small holes that may have developed over time. This helps in preventing air loss, which can improve the efficiency of the HVAC system.
Encapsulates Rust and Corrosion
The coating provides a protective layer that encapsulates rust and corrosion, particularly in older metal ductwork. This is especially important in humid environments where moisture can lead to significant deterioration of the ducts.
Improves Air Quality
By sealing the ducts, Duct Armor helps to prevent the infiltration of dust, mold, and other contaminants into the air stream. This results in improved indoor air quality, which is crucial for the health and comfort of building occupants.
Extends Duct Lifespan
The protective coating helps to extend the lifespan of the ductwork by providing a durable barrier against wear and tear. This can delay the need for costly duct replacements.
Why Duct Armor is Important in Duct Restoration
Duct Armor plays a vital role in duct restoration by enhancing energy efficiency, improving air quality, extending the lifespan of the ductwork, and providing a cost-effective and health-conscious solution. Here are reasons why:
Energy Efficiency
Sealing leaks and improving the structural integrity of the ductwork can significantly enhance the energy efficiency of the HVAC system. This can lead to lower energy bills and a reduced environmental footprint.
Cost-Effective
Using Duct Armor as part of the restoration process can be more cost-effective than replacing entire sections of ductwork. It provides a long-term solution that addresses multiple issues with a single application.
Health and Safety
By preventing the spread of mold, mildew, and other harmful contaminants, Duct Armor contributes to a healthier indoor environment. This is particularly important for individuals with allergies, asthma, or other respiratory conditions.
Regulatory Compliance
In some regions, maintaining air quality standards and ensuring the proper functioning of HVAC systems is mandated by regulations. Using Duct Armor helps property owners and managers meet these requirements.
Duct Armor Process:
If your ductwork has significantly deteriorated, it may need to be restored using our Duct Armor® process. Before we begin the lining process, we recommend that your ducts be thoroughly cleaned. Once cleaned, your ducts are ready to be lined with our patented Duct Armor® rubberized lining material.
The spray-on lining process typically takes one to two days to complete by our skilled technicians. Each application can take from four to eight hours, depending on the size of your home and duct system.
The product is applied during two separate visits to your home, with at least seven days between visits to allow the product to dry completely and adhere to the ductwork. After each application, the A/C fan is left running for a minimum of four days to ensure the drying process is complete.
Our process is so simple that there is no need to pack up your home or move out. Before we begin spraying your ducts, our team will prep the inside of your home with floor covers to ensure we keep your home as clean as possible. Once we finish applying the air duct lining, there is no delay before you can use your air conditioning or heating system.
