Glass Tapes

OUR SERVICESThe majority of domestic HVAC systems are either damaged or leaked resulting in a lot of wastage of the conditioned air from the HVAC system.

There are numerous ways the valuable conditioned air can escape the pipes ranging from poor sealing of duct after installation,loose connections or poor foil tape insulation at the plenums. Thus, it is very essential that you seal your Ductwork with proper and good quality sealing accessories like duct seal tapes.

Non-adhesive glass tape is one of the most regularly utilised components in any fibreglass maintenance or construction. Glass strands are blended together for resistance in the glass tape. When coupled with resin, the glass tape’s hard layer provides support and a seamless, more insulated covering.

Glass tapes are widely used in various industries that require a high level of heat resistance, cohesion, damage tolerance, and flame retardancy. Glass tapes can be used for a variety of applications that demand heat, high mechanical strength, solid retaining power, and damage tolerance, such as stable sealing of high – pressure ducts and pipes, encasing thermal insulating panels where high bonding strength and heat resistance are required, and aeroplane window sealing, among others.

Some basic specifications of glass tape are:

  • They are very tough and can hold high pressure rate
  • They are printay
  • The ability to withstand wear and tear
  • These tapes are Impervious to chemicals
  • It won’t swell, decay, or heat up.
  • They carry Higher mechanical strength and heat tolerance.
  • Glass tapes have a flame-retardant rating.
  • Corrosion and rust resistant
  • They are very flexible and easy to work with
  • Are made up of epoxy rubber resin, polypropylene, high-temperature silicone adhesive or any thermosetting polymer that are malleable.

Advantages of proper sealing:

Comfortable airflow: The HVAC system serves the purpose of providing a comfortable air flow and a balanced temperature to the rooms. If there is any fault in the duct system it will result in hot air arriving to the rooms and poor temperature control.

Less energy consumption: If for any reason the duct system is not working properly or most of the times there is very poor insulation,it can result in very low functioning of the duct system. It will require more energy to work and filter air and thus will increase the heat of the air that enters indoors. This will not only lead to uneven temperatures but also higher electricity bills.

Poor air quality: Indoor air quality is very essential for the residents especially in any commercial or office building. Poor duct insulation or installation can highly affect the air quality and can bring in various allergens, contaminants,dust,pollen and can deteriorate the overall air quality as well as the health of the individuals. It can lead to fatigue,low immunity, oxygen reduction as well as respiratory problems.

There are various types of problems you can come across if you have a poor duct installation or insulation, contact a local professional company, that are experienced with the mechanical ventilation work and can guide you with the duct system of your house.
