Thermaduct Systems
Thermaduct is a high-performance outdoor ductwork system offering superior R-values and minimal air leakage. Constructed from pre-insulated Kingspan KoolDuct materials, it eliminates the need for additional fiberglass insulation. Our fabrication process ensures precise measurements and seamless installation for commercial and industrial applications requiring durable, energy-efficient ventilation solutions.
KoolDuct Fabrication
KoolDuct provides advanced HVAC ducting with closed-cell phenolic foam insulation that resists mold and bacteria growth. We fabricate complete systems for commercial, industrial, and residential installations using precision manufacturing techniques. This innovative solution improves indoor air quality while maintaining structural integrity in demanding environments.
Custom Sheet Metal
Our union-certified team creates custom sheet metal components from galvanized steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. Using computer-guided plasma cutters, we produce complex ductwork shapes from 10- to 26-gauge materials. This capability supports specialty projects requiring non-standard dimensions or material specifications.
Rectangular Ductwork
We manufacture precision rectangular duct systems and fittings using state-of-the-art production equipment. Our fabrication process ensures tight tolerances and seamless connections for both standard and custom configurations. This service supports large-scale commercial HVAC installations requiring reliable air distribution solutions.
Spiral Pipe Systems
Our spiral pipe fabrication includes standard and gasketed fittings from 3-24 inches in diameter. Stocked in 10-foot sections with custom cut-to-length options available, this system provides efficient airflow solutions for commercial HVAC applications. We maintain inventory for quick turnaround on standard sizes.

Beware!! Paid for custom furnace plenums up front. Provided detailed drawings. Everything was made wrong and they wouldn't fix their mistakes. Plenums were also out of square. These guys are sheet metal butchers. Total Schysters.
