Eclipse® Air Duct Board

Excellent acoustic and thermal characteristics make for quiet, efficient air delivery. Unwanted “booms” and “cracks” caused by sheet metal ducts, minimized. Made with a foil-scrim-kraft (FSK) vapor retarder and a lightweight, non-woven black mat on the airstream surface.

Eclipse® Air Duct Board will be discontinued after Dec. 31, 2024.

Product Features
Proven Performance
Delivers high thermal and acoustical performance. Helps maintain temperatures and reduce noise generated by air turbulence and mechanical equipment.
Versatile Fabrication
Simple, streamlined fabrication — done in shop or on the job site. Multiple sizes, minimal capital requirements and only one trade is required to fabricate and install.
Quality Design
Purposefully designed for areas where good temperature control are required. Made with a dark black glass mat facing on the airstream surface enabling a clean cut.
