How to choose the right ventilation duct?
In order to get to know this topic well and learn key information about it, we must start with an absolutely fundamental issue: the proper selection of ventilation ducts. What is the rule here? What to remember? The first step is extremely important - choosing the right type of channel. The future assembly and many other key aspects depend on it. There are many different ventilation ducts available, so before you choose a specific solution, it is worth taking into account factors such as the size of the room, the type of building, and the budget we have.
Taking this into account, we can choose between flat (rectangular), round and flexible ventilation ducts. Let us present their brief characteristics.
- The first ones mentioned - flat ventilation ducts, also known as rectangular ones, are very popular and very often chosen. This is not surprising, because they are easy to install and are suitable for various applications, among other things, because they are less massive than round ducts. They are characterized by a slim profile, so they can fit even in tight spaces.
- The next type - round ventilation ducts, ensure high efficiency in air conduction, but they are large in size, so they are rarely used in homes, and much more often in professional ventilation systems, for example in offices, plants, etc.
- Flexible ventilation ducts are also available, extremely easy to install, especially in hard-to-reach places. For this reason, they are especially useful when modernizing a building.
What dimensions should the ventilation duct have?
In order for the ventilation duct to function well and efficiently, it should have appropriate dimensions. It must be optimally adjusted, so the channel cannot be too small, as this will negatively affect the flow, or too large, as it may lead to heat and energy losses. To fit it perfectly, we must take into account several key rules. One of the most important is calculating the air flow, i.e. determining how much of it will be in the ventilation system. This will allow you to adjust an extremely important parameter - the channel diameter. It is also necessary that it is designed in such a way that it can distribute air evenly and without disruption to each room. This will guarantee optimal conditions throughout the building. Appropriate insulation is also important to avoid heat loss and moisture condensation.
When is it worth choosing a flat ventilation duct?
We have already briefly described the flat ventilation duct , but now we will develop this topic further, pointing out situations in which it is worth installing it. They are particularly recommended in most cases, during various modernizations and renovations, and especially in places where round ducts are difficult or impossible to install. They have many strengths, such as high efficiency, minimizing air resistance, and ease of installation in various, even non-standard, spaces. Flat ventilation ducts are very aesthetic because they are less visible than traditional ducts. It also saves space, especially if we do not have much space for this type of installation.
