Types of Duct Lagging

Whether you’re replacing your aging ductwork or just need to make sure that the sound from piping is contained, duct lagging can help. There are many different types of duct lagging available to fit your specific needs. Learn more about DL-10-LAG mineral fibre duct lagging. Read on to learn more about each type of duct lagging and which one is right for your application.

DL-10-LAG duct lagging

DL-10-LAG duct lining is a flexible noise reduction wrap that is often called duct lagging or pipe lagging. This type of duct insulation is used to contain break-out noise in noisy ducts and is an effective noise control product. This lagging is designed to fit tightly around HVAC ducts, including rectangular and round ducts. It is available in matching lag tape to ensure the most effective installation.

Model DL-10-LAG is shipped in rolls and can be cut to fit any loud duct configuration. The barrier’s non-lead content makes it easy to install and handle. DL-10-LAG is also available with a fire rating of Class A. It can be fastened to ducts with adhesive, band, and mechanical fasteners. This duct lagging also helps reduce noise generated from a noisy HVAC system.

DL-4525C acoustic duct lagging

Soundlag 4525C is a class 0 composite acoustic lagging, which has been specifically designed to reduce noise in ductwork, wastewater pipes, and valves. This material also complies with international fire standards. The 4525C is ideal for reducing noise in habitable rooms, and offers superior sound-reducing properties and a strong joining surface. Its unique design reduces noise without compromising structural integrity or performance, while ensuring a low noise pipe.

When used correctly, this type of lagging can help contain pipe-wall vibrating noise. Depending on the application, it can be made from various materials, including convoluted foam and loaded vinyl. Depending on the installation process, the product may be designed to provide a high U-Factor rating. Acoustica, a company that manufactures acoustic products in Australia, describes the benefits of its product in this informative video.

Generally used for noisy pipes and ducts, acoustic pipe insulation helps in blocking noise transmitted through walls and into the cavity. Its quilted fiberglass decoupler provides additional sound absorption and thermal insulation. The versatile HVAC insulation wrap is also available in foil-faced reinforced lagging that accepts lag tape. Its reinforced foil exterior provides a protective jacket for indoor and outdoor applications.
