Duct Board Tools

Why Use Duct Board? 

Duct board, a rigid fiberglass board faced with protective foil, is a standard material used in residential and light commercial HVAC systems. It’s especially popular in warmer regions, such as the southern U.S., where insulation is crucial and noise reduction is a significant benefit. Installers note that duct board is lightweight, cost-effective, and has properties that can make it easier to work with compared to traditional sheet metal. 

Because duct board is often cut on-site during system installations or retrofits, HVAC pros need tools that are precise, durable, and easy to use. Whether you’re building straight runs or complex fittings, quality cuts mean better airflow, tighter seals, and higher customer satisfaction.
