What Is Duct Board?

A duct board is a common form of heating and air conditioning insulation made out of fiberglass and a thin layer of foil. Each board typically is 1 to 2 inches (2.54 to 5.08 cm) thick, and several boards can be assembled together to help airflow and maintain temperature. Among its many benefits include its lightweight construction and durability. Each duct board is primarily constructed from two layers to ensure efficient flow and protection from the outside elements. The bulk of each board is comprised of thousands of strings of fiberglass pressed into a flat sheet intended to face the airflow side of ventilations. The backside of each board is made of a thin foil layer that is airtight.
