Polypipe Ventilation, manufacturers of the market leading Domus range of domestic and light commercial ventilation products, is pleased to announce some environmental improvements to its flexible hose for use in domestic and light commercial ventilation.

The majority of flexible hose systems are made using wire which is glued to the duct fabric. However, as opposed to most other UK PVC flexible hose suppliers, Polypipe Ventilation has changed to a solvent free manufactured product which reduces the environmental impact of the process. In addition, this reduces end user risk from toxins that may cause skin problems.

Polypipe Ventilation flexible hose also differs from the majority of comparable products due to the use of high tensile wire. Unlike mild steel wire, the hire tensile wire maintains structural integrity under duress. Not only is this good news for end users as optimum airflow and hence system efficiency is ensured, but it also benefits the installer as it is less likely to become damaged in transit and on site either during installation or retrospectively by other trades. Neil Tilsley, Managing Director of Polypipe Ventilation says “It is important to understand that when comparing similar products that the small differences can actually have huge benefits”

Polypipe Ventilation flexible hose provides solutions to overcome awkward situations where a rigid component cannot be installed. It is part of the Domus brand of ventilation ducting, which also features round and rectangular rigid systems.

The Domus brand has been at the forefront of the ducting industry for almost 25 years and is highly regarded for its quality and innovation. It features the widest range of plastic ducting product in Europe and remains one of the only ventilation ranges that can be specified as a complete system

Other products under the Domus brand include the Domus FireBrake range that provides LABC approved fire protection when ducting through compartment walls and high performance BSI Kitemarked extractor fans.
