PinkGuard™ - Performance Insulated Ducting
PinkGuard™ is performance insulated flexible ducting built for the places standard ducting is most likely to let you down.
Cold lofts, roof spaces, ceiling voids and noise-sensitive areas can turn ordinary ducting into a hidden weak point — causing heat loss, condensation risk, mould concerns and duct-borne noise.
With over 2x thermal resistance, up to 2x better sound absorption and tested mould resistance, PinkGuard™ helps stop hidden ducting problems becoming complaints, callbacks or costly building problems.
Because when ducting fails, everyone feels it.
Most people upgrade the fan, MVHR unit or ventilation system — but forget the ducting that carries the air.
That is where problems start.
Cold lofts, roof spaces, ceiling voids and noise-sensitive areas can turn ordinary ducting into a hidden weak point, creating heat loss, condensation risk, mould concerns and duct-borne noise.
PinkGuard™ adds the protection standard ducting lacks — helping ventilation systems reduce heat loss, condensation risk, mould concerns and duct-borne noise before they become costly problems.
Protect the hidden ducting before it becomes the problem everyone notices.
Twice The Protection | Half The Risk
Mould | Heat | Noise | Eco
PinkGuard™ is built around four everyday problems that standard ducting can leave exposed.
In cold lofts, roof spaces and ceiling voids, the ducting is often where heat, moisture and noise turn into real-world problems.
✓ Mould — tested mould resistance to help reduce condensation-related mould risk.
✓ Heat — over 2x thermal resistance to help reduce heat loss in unheated areas.
✓ Noise — up to 2x better sound absorption to help reduce duct-borne sound.
✓ Eco — low-emission credentials for a more sustainable ventilation choice.
PinkGuard™ is designed for the parts of a ventilation system where insulation, noise control and condensation protection matter most.
Use it where ducting passes through cold, unheated or noise-sensitive spaces, especially lofts, roof voids, ceiling voids, plant areas and service zones.
Bathroom and wet room ventilation — ideal for moisture-heavy rooms where warm humid air is extracted through colder spaces.
MVHR, MEV and dMEV systems — suitable for final connections and ducting where thermal and acoustic protection is needed.
Air conditioning and HVAC ducting — helps protect ducting where heat gain, heat loss or noise transfer may be a concern.
Cold lofts, roof spaces and ceiling voids — ideal for ducting exposed to colder surrounding temperatures.
Homes, social housing and retrofit projects — supports better ventilation upgrades in new build and retrofit installations.
Commercial, leisure and mixed-use properties — suitable for hotels, gyms, spas, offices, student accommodation, apartments and other noise or moisture-sensitive buildings.
Spec Safe Against Condensation, Noise and Heat Loss
As an architect or consultant, ventilation ducting is easy to overlook because it is usually hidden above ceilings, inside voids or out of sight in a loft or roof space.
But hidden does not mean harmless.
PinkGuard™ provides a performance-led ducting detail for ventilation, MVHR, MEV, dMEV, air conditioning and general HVAC systems where thermal and acoustic protection are required.
Its insulation is supported by performance data for thermal resistance, acoustic absorption, mould resistance and low chemical emissions, giving specifiers clearer evidence behind the ducting choice.
For UK projects, PinkGuard™ should be specified as part of a compliant ventilation design, with consideration given to Building Regulations, Approved Document F, Approved Document B, manufacturer guidance and project-specific requirements.
A clearer specification. A better-supported detail. Less room for hidden ducting risk.
Fit Once. Avoid the Callback.
For installers, ducting problems rarely show up on the day of installation. They show up later — as noise complaints, condensation marks, dripping ductwork, mould concerns or customers asking why the system does not feel right.
PinkGuard™ gives you a better ducting detail for cold lofts, roof spaces, ceiling voids and unheated areas, where standard flexible ducting can leave the installation exposed.
Its insulated construction helps reduce heat loss, duct-borne noise and condensation risk, supporting a cleaner, quieter and more professional installation.
Do not let the ducting become the weak point in your installation.
Give Customers a Better Ducting Choice
For resellers and distributors, PinkGuard™ gives customers a simple reason to choose something better than standard flexible ducting.
It is easy to explain because the benefit is clear:
Mould | Heat | Noise | Eco
That makes it easier to support customers who are upgrading extractor fans, MVHR units, MEV systems, dMEV products, air conditioning equipment or general ventilation systems.
Where ducting passes through cold lofts, roof spaces, ceiling voids or unheated areas, PinkGuard™ gives customers a better option: performance insulated ducting designed to help reduce heat loss, duct-borne noise and condensation risk.
A better product choice. A clearer customer benefit. A stronger reason to stock and sell.
Breathe Cleaner, Warmer, Quieter Air.
For homeowners, landlords and residents, ventilation is not just about moving air. It is about how the home feels every day.
Poor ducting can make a good system feel noisy, cold or less effective. In cold lofts, roof spaces and ceiling voids, standard ducting can lose heat, carry sound and increase condensation risk.
PinkGuard™ helps protect the hidden parts of the ventilation system, supporting cleaner, warmer and quieter air throughout the home.
By helping reduce condensation risk, it also supports a better approach to damp and mould control.
Better ducting helps create better air.
Most insulated ducting is built around a basic insulation layer: usually 25mm insulation with a thermal conductivity around 0.04 W/m·K. That is the common benchmark for ducting that passes through cold or unheated spaces.
PinkGuard™ goes further with high-performance insulation rated to US R-8, equivalent to R 1.41 m²K/W in UK/European terms.
This matters because cold lofts, roof spaces and ceiling voids are exactly where ducting is most exposed. Warm air can lose heat, surfaces can cool, and condensation risk can increase.
If the ducting runs through a cold loft, why settle for minimum protection?
1. HEAT: OVER 2X THERMAL RESISTANCE
PinkGuard™ delivers 2.26x higher thermal resistance than typical 25mm insulated ducting.
This helps reduce heat loss, heat gain and temperature drop where ducting passes through cold or unheated spaces.
✓ Thermal Conductivity - 0.018 W/m·K
✓ R Value - 1.41 m²K/W
✓ U Value - 0.71 W/m²K
Compared with typical 25mm insulated ducting at 0.040 W/m·K, PinkGuard™ provides over 2x the resistance to heat transfer.
2. MOULD: TESTED MOULD RESISTANCE
PinkGuard™ uses tested mould-resistant material designed for moisture-prone ventilation systems.
This helps reduce condensation-related mould risk where ducting passes through cold lofts, roof spaces, ceiling voids and other unheated spaces.
✓ Mould Resistance - tested to UL 181 requirements
✓ Non-Organic - reduced mould growth opportunity
✓ Condensation Control - helps reduce moisture conditions that support mould growth
UL 181 is a recognised standard for factory-made air ducts and air connectors.
It is relevant because it includes mould growth and humidity testing to assess whether duct components contribute to mould or mildew growth.
3. ECO: LOW EMISSIONS
PinkGuard™ uses low-emission insulation to support healthier indoor environments and more sustainable ventilation choices.
This gives the eco claim technical backing, without relying on vague environmental wording.
✓ Low Emissions - GREENGUARD Gold certified material evidence.
✓ Indoor Air Quality - tested against chemical emissions criteria for building materials.
✓ Sustainable Choice - supports lower-emission ventilation specifications.
GREENGUARD Gold is relevant because it validates low chemical emissions from building materials, including criteria such as VOCs and formaldehyde.
4. NOISE: UP TO 2X BETTER SOUND ABSORPTION
PinkGuard™ is designed to reduce fan noise, airflow noise and duct-borne sound in noise-sensitive spaces.
This validates the claim that PinkGuard™ helps create quieter ventilation installations where standard ducting can allow sound to travel.
✓ Sound Absorption - NRC 0.65 material rating.
✓ Benchmark Comparison - up to 2x better sound absorption than typical standard insulated duct materials.
✓ Estimated Sound Reduction - benchmarked average attenuation of 25 dB across key ventilation noise frequencies.
NRC is relevant because it measures how much sound a material absorbs.
A higher NRC means better sound absorption, helping reduce the amount of noise carried through the ducting.
Stop Letting Standard Ducting Become the Weak Point.
Standard ducting may look like a small part of the system, but in cold, unheated and noise-sensitive spaces, it can become the part that lets everything down.
PinkGuard™ helps protect the hidden parts of the system from the problems standard ducting can leave exposed: heat loss, condensation risk, mould concerns and duct-borne noise.
With over 2x thermal resistance, up to 2x better sound absorption, tested mould resistance and low-emission material evidence, PinkGuard™ gives every project a stronger ducting detail — from specification to installation, from sale to everyday use.
Better protection. Better comfort. Fewer hidden risks.
