When a project required exceptionally large spiral duct diameters—reaching up to 62 inches—Spiracoustic Plus® proved to be the ideal solution. This advanced duct liner is engineered with evenly spaced kerfs, allowing it to seamlessly conform to the curvature of large-diameter spiral ductwork while maintaining a smooth, durable airstream surface. The proprietary Permacote® coating enhances durability and provides added protection against microbial growth, ensuring long-term system performance.

In this installation, more than 450 total feet of oversized duct sections were completed using Spiracoustic Plus®, including 38-inch, 50-inch, and 62-inch diameters. Despite their scale, these duct runs were efficiently produced thanks to the liner’s lighter weight compared to traditional double-walled systems. This helped streamline handling, fitting, and assembly—critical advantages when working with large, exposed ductwork designs.

Beyond ease of installation, Spiracoustic Plus® contributes to visual consistency and acoustic comfort in spaces where ductwork remains exposed. Its structural uniformity and clean interior surface support both aesthetic requirements and HVAC performance priorities, ensuring the system maintains airflow efficiency while controlling sound.

Spiracoustic Plus® continues to help designers and fabricators meet ambitious architectural and engineering needs, particularly in modern spaces that rely on oversized, exposed ducts for both functional and stylistic impact.
