Lindab - Why installing ducting to DW144 standards matters for your projects
As a ducting installer, you understand that the quality of your work directly impacts the comfort and safety of the spaces you help to create. Installing ducting made to DW144 standards is not just a technical requirements; it's a commitment to excellence that ensure you meet the needs of your customer and protect the reputation of your business. When you choose to adhere to these standards, you're not only elevating your installations but also contributing to a healthier environment for your clients.
DW144 is the British Standard that provides specifications for the manufacture and installation of sheet metal ductwork in Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning systems. It sets out building regulation requirements for materials, design, construction, testing, and installation of ductwork, ensuring that it meets specific standards for performance, durability, and safety.
Adhering to this standard ensures that the ducting used in a system is:
Safe: DW144 specifies the minimum material thickness and jointing methods to prevent leaks and ensure structural integrity.
Efficient: The standard helps to optimise airflow and minimise energy loss, resulting in more efficient HVAC systems.
Durable: DW144 ductwork is designed to withstand the rigours of everyday use and last for many years.
Compliant: By using DW144-compliant ducting, you can be confident that your HVAC system meets relevant building regulations.
Choosing to install below standard may seem like an acceptable corner-cutting exercise, but it can lead to significant issues down the line for the building owner. Subpar installations can result in inefficient airflow, which not only compromises indoor air quality but also increases energy consumption and wear on HVAC systems. As professionals dedicated to providing the best for clients, it's essential to uphold the highest standards in our work.
"Installing ducting to DW144 standards is crucial for ensuring that every system operates at its peak efficiency," says Darren Mills, Technical Solutions Manager for Lindab. "This not only enhances indoor air quality but also reduces energy consumption, leading to long-term savings for businesses." By prioritising these standards, you're contributing to an environment where air quality is improved, energy bills are lowered, system reliability is enhanced, and you're delivering a finished project that you can be proud of.
In closing, prioritising DW144 standards in your ducting installations is a testament to your professionalism and commitment to quality. It’s an investment in safety, efficiency, and sustainability that pays off for both you and your clients. Let’s continue to build a community focused on choices that lead to innovative and reliable solutions. Together, we can ensure that every installation is a step toward a healthier, more efficient future.

Lindab Ltd - Quiet ventilation: choosing and installing the right silencer
If you're a ventilation designer or installer, your role extends beyond designing or setting up a duct system. It's your responsibility to foster a conducive indoor environment that's comfortable, healthy, and productive. A significant element that often goes unnoticed in this pursuit is sound reduction. An essential product for a quiet ventilation system is the simple sound attenuator.
Understanding the requirements
Choosing an appropriate sound attenuator for a ventilation system demands thoughtful consideration and calculations. Every ventilation system is distinctive, and acknowledging the acoustic needs of the building is the first step towards choosing the right silencer. Elements such as the type of ventilation system, the noise level it generates, and its airflow rate play an important role in this process. For instance, a ventilation system in an office space might have different sound requirements compared to one in a residential building. In addition, you also need to consider the acoustic needs of the building. A large open-plan office might require more sound attenuation compared to smaller individual offices. Hence, understanding these nuances can help you make a more informed decision when selecting a silencer.
Selecting a suitable silencer
Silencers work by absorbing sound waves as they pass through the ductwork. They are typically made of porous materials like fiberglass, stone wool or Acutec® polyester, which trap sound waves and dissipate them as heat. However, not all silencers are made equal, and choosing the right one requires careful consideration. At Lindab, we offer a variety of silencers tailored to different needs. From circular and rectangular silencers to cross-talk, industrial and bespoken attenuators, our products are designed and tested to reduce noise levels effectively without compromising the efficiency of the ventilation system.
But how do you know which sound attenuator to choose for your specific ventilation system and requirements?
This is where dynamic calculation programs like Lindab's CADvent or MagiCAD in combination with the Lindab Quick Selection Tool (LindQST) come in handy. LindQST simplifies the selection and dimensioning of sound attenuators and other indoor climate products, allowing you to select the ideal products for your specific project.
Once you've chosen the right sound attenuators, the next step is proper installation. The correct installation of these components is just as important as the selection process itself. Improper installation can reduce the effectiveness of the sound calculations and may even lead to other issues in the ventilation system.
At Lindab, we provide comprehensive documentation and support to help installers get it right. Our installation guides are designed to be easy to follow, ensuring that every component is installed correctly, and functions as intended.
In conclusion, selecting and installing the right sound attenuator for your ventilation system is a critical step towards achieving a quiet, efficient, and balanced ventilation system. By understanding the requirements, utilising the right tools, and following the correct installation procedures, you are on the right track to ensuring quiet ventilation for any building.
