Jacketing

At Metro 1 Insulation, we understand that insulation is not only about the core materials but also about the importance of proper protection and aesthetics. That's why we offer a wide range of jacketing solutions designed to provide the necessary defense against environmental factors while enhancing the appearance of your insulation systems.

What is Jacketing?

Jacketing, also known as cladding, is an outer covering applied to insulation materials to provide an additional layer of protection and to improve the overall aesthetics of the insulation system. It acts as a shield, safeguarding the underlying insulation from moisture, UV radiation, physical impact, and other external factors that could compromise its performance.

Key Benefits of Jacketing

1. Protection Against Moisture

2. UV and Weather Resistance

3. Mechanical Protection

4. Enhanced Aesthetics

5. Fire Resistance

1. Protection Against Moisture

Jacketing creates a moisture barrier, preventing water and humidity from reaching the insulation and reducing the risk of corrosion and mold growth.

2. UV and Weather Resistance

Our jacketing materials are UV-resistant and weatherproof, ensuring durability and protection against harsh environmental conditions.

3. Mechanical Protection

Jacketing adds strength and rigidity to the insulation system, guarding it against physical damage and extending its lifespan.

4. Enhanced Aesthetics

With various colors, finishes, and styles available, jacketing improves the appearance of insulation systems, making them more visually appealing and professional.

5. Fire Resistance

Certain jacketing materials come with fire-resistant properties, providing an added layer of safety to the insulation system.

Metal Ducts

Metal ducts are a fundamental component of HVAC systems, offering a robust and efficient means of transporting heated or cooled air throughout residential, commercial, and industrial spaces. One of the key advantages of metal ducts is their ability to withstand high temperatures, making them suitable for both heating and cooling applications. These ducts maintain their structural integrity over time, ensuring a consistent and reliable airflow. Additionally, metal ducts are resistant to damage from pests and mold, contributing to improved indoor air quality.
