In HVAC work, aluminium cladding (also spelled aluminum cladding, and called aluminium jacketing) is the sheet-metal outer layer fitted over the insulation on ducts, chilled water pipes, tanks and equipment. It keeps rain, sunlight, moisture and site traffic away from the insulation so that the insulation keeps its thermal performance and its vapour barrier stays intact.
Zenvent Engineering fabricates and installs aluminium cladding for insulated HVAC ducts, chilled water, hot water, steam and refrigerant pipes, tanks, vessels and plant room equipment on commercial and industrial projects. The work covers new installations as well as repair, replacement and AMC of existing cladding.
We supply plain, stucco embossed and corrugated aluminium sheet and roll jacketing, with a moisture barrier where the application needs one.
Aluminum cladding is a metal protective covering installed over insulation materials on pipes, ducts, tanks, vessels, equipment, boilers, and HVAC systems. It is commonly used in mechanical insulation, HVAC insulation cladding, thermal insulation cladding, commercial insulation cladding, and industrial insulation cladding.
In HVAC and insulation work, aluminum cladding is used to cover and protect insulation installed on chilled water pipes, hot water pipes, steam pipes, refrigerant pipes, AC copper pipes, HVAC ducts, AHU ducts, plant room piping, mechanical room insulation, tanks, vessels, and outdoor insulation systems.
The main purpose of aluminum cladding is to protect insulation from physical damage, moisture, UV exposure, weather conditions, corrosion risk, and regular maintenance activity. It also gives a clean metal finish to pipe insulation, duct insulation, tank insulation, and equipment insulation.
Aluminum cladding is used for HVAC pipes, HVAC ducts, chilled water pipe cladding, hot water pipe cladding, steam pipe cladding, refrigerant pipe cladding, AC pipe cladding, outdoor pipe cladding, outdoor duct cladding, boiler insulation cladding, tank insulation cladding, vessel insulation cladding, equipment insulation cladding, and industrial pipe cladding.
Insulation reduces heat gain, heat loss, condensation risk, or sound transfer. Aluminum cladding protects the insulation from external damage, weather exposure, water ingress, UV exposure, and mechanical impact. Both work together in a complete insulation system.
On HVAC ductwork, aluminium cladding is the outer metal skin fixed over the duct insulation. Insulated supply and return ducts that run on roofs, along external walls or through plant rooms are clad so that weather and accidental damage cannot reach the insulation. Wet or torn insulation loses thermal performance and lets condensation form on cold ducts, so cladding is normally specified wherever insulated ducts are exposed.
Duct cladding is the last step after duct fabrication and installation and duct insulation with nitrile rubber, fiberglass or PUF. The sheets are cut to the duct profile, lapped so that water runs off the joints, fixed with screws, rivets or bands, and sealed at the seams.
