The Right Pathway for Your Airflow: A Guide to Flexible Ducts

A powerful exhaust fan or air conditioning unit is only as effective as the ducting that carries the air. A kinked, torn, or poorly insulated duct can drastically reduce performance, leading to poor ventilation and wasted energy. High-quality Flexible Ducting is the essential, easy-to-install solution for creating an efficient and reliable pathway for your HVAC and ventilation systems.

At SCHNAP, our selection of Flexible Ducts is built to meet the demands of Aussie tradies, with durable and compliant options for any residential or commercial installation.

A Duct for Every Application

Flexible ducting is the go-to choice for a huge range of air movement jobs:

• Exhaust Fans: Connecting bathroom, laundry, and toilet fans to an external vent to effectively remove steam, moisture, and odours.
• Range Hoods: Safely venting smoke, grease, and cooking fumes from the kitchen to the outside.
• Air Conditioning & Heat Transfer Systems: Distributing cool or warm air from the main unit to outlets in different rooms.

Choosing the Right Type of Flexible Duct

Selecting the correct duct for the job is critical for performance and compliance.

• Durable Aluminium Ducts: The lightweight, versatile workhorse for most standard exhaust fan and ventilation applications. It's easy to run through tight roof spaces and provides a durable air channel.
• Insulated Flexible Ducts: The smart choice for any air conditioning or heat transfer system. A thick layer of insulation around the core duct minimises heat loss or gain as the air travels, and crucially, prevents condensation from forming on the outside of the duct ('sweating').
• Fire-Rated Core Ducting: A non-negotiable, mandatory requirement for many commercial kitchen range hoods and other specific installations where fire safety standards must be met.

The All-in-One Solution: Ducting Kits

For a no-fuss, standard installation, you can't beat the convenience of a ducting kit. These kits typically include a standard length of flexible duct, an external wall or eave vent, and the necessary clamps to get the job done quickly.
