Board Systems

Greyton is the preferred installer of Promatect mechanical duct systems. This includes products such a Promatect L500, Promatect H and Promatect S. While constructing self-supporting ducts in these products is still not common in Australia, there are some distinct advantages. These systems are fast and efficient and involves only one contractor. There is no need for installing sheet metal ducts first and these products are very resilient. Promatect S for example, has a steel lining on each face and has been hose stream and blast tested. The Promatect H and L500 systems can be assembled off-site and bolted together on-site with fire rated mastics providing smoke and air seals.

DUCT Wrap Systems

Wrapping ducts with this product is relatively new to Australia but is an alternative to board or vermiculite spray. While this system is more expensive than more commonly used Vermiculite, it does have its place in projects that have a zero tolerance for dust and over spray. Such as hospitals or food processing factories particularly if installing during operation.
