What EcoDuct does
EcoDuct Ltd is a UK-based manufacturer of non-metallic pre-insulated HVAC ductwork systems, fabricated from Kingspan KoolDuct phenolic insulation panels into rectangular, square, circular, and flat oval profiles. The product combines ductwork and insulation into a single factory-manufactured system that achieves Class D air leakage at 2,500 Pa — described by the company as the only such rating in the UK and EU market — and EuroClass B-s2, d1 fire performance. EcoDuct targets commercial buildings, healthcare and education facilities, residential developments, specialist environments (swimming pools, marine, data centres), and industrial/modular construction, with documented reference projects including Nike at Battersea Power Station, Marks & Spencer at Marble Arch, Aldi, Hilson Moran's Living Lab London Hub, and the Greenest House Venice 2025 installation.
The business operates a specification-driven, sales-led go-to-market. EcoDduct reaches customers through architects, M&E engineers, sustainability and cost consultants during project design phases, supplemented by Continuing Professional Development (CPD) sessions, industry exhibitions (London Build Expo, Installer Show), and trade press coverage. A UK-wide Approved Installer network of trained HVAC, ductwork, and M&E contractors receives exclusive discounts, rebates, and referral leads, and project leads are routed through this network. Distribution outside the core UK is handled by regional delivery partners in Scotland, Ireland (via AMG from March 2026, replacing Ventac Ireland), and Spain. Pricing is project-specific and not publicly disclosed. Revenue streams include hardware sales of ductwork sections and accessories, training/CPD services, and a unique end-of-life buy-back programme that supports circularity.
EcoDuct Ltd is privately held, founded in 2012 (with a 2019 foundation date also reflected in firmographic data), and operates from a new Fleetwood, Lancashire factory relocated in May 2024. The company reports 11-50 employees. Funding to date consists of Innovate UK / Transformative Technologies Grant co-funding supporting R&D in advanced manufacturing, lightweight materials, and single-fit installation. The company is featured by the UK Green Building Council, certified by Made in Britain, and has won multiple industry awards including the H&V News 2025 Innovation in Construction and Building Engineering Award and the Wyre Business Awards 2025 Climate Action Award.

EcoDuct competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- P3Duct: P3Duct is a UK manufacturer of pre-insulated PIR ductwork, directly competing with EcoDuct in commercial and residential HVAC projects. Comparable specification-driven sales motion and similar product positioning in the non-metallic ductwork category.
- Isolamin (Lindab Group): Isolamin (now part of Lindab) manufactures pre-insulated aluminium ductwork systems used across European HVAC projects. Directly comparable on pre-insulated ductwork technology and competes in the same European specification environment.
- Hadley Group (UltraSTEEL / Hadley Ductwork): Hadley Group manufactures light-gauge steel framing and HVAC ductwork products including pre-insulated options. A direct UK competitor in commercial and residential ductwork supply, particularly in modular construction.
- Rectangular Ductwork Ltd / Ductform: Ductform Group is a UK-based manufacturer of galvanised and pre-insulated rectangular ductwork for commercial HVAC projects. Comparable specification-led sales motion in the UK and competes directly with EcoDuct in commercial construction tenders.
- Spiralite (Unilin Insulation): Spiralite is a well-established pre-insulated phenolic ductwork brand sold across the UK and Europe, offering circular and rectangular ductwork fabricated from Unilin insulation panels. It is the closest direct substitute to EcoDuct's core product in specification battles.
- Thermoduct (SWEP International / SPI): Thermoduct supplies pre-insulated phenolic ductwork systems across European and Middle Eastern HVAC markets. Direct competitor in the non-metallic pre-insulated ductwork category with comparable fire and thermal performance claims.
Broad incumbents
- Wavin (Orbia): Wavin is a large European manufacturer of plastic piping, ventilation, and ductwork systems used in residential and commercial buildings. Competes with EcoDuct in residential ventilation and ductwork channels, particularly through MVHR and heat-pump installations.
- Kingspan Group: Kingspan is both EcoDuct's primary material supplier (KoolDuct phenolic panels) and a broader building envelope manufacturer that competes indirectly via its own insulated panel and ductwork ranges. It is the most strategically entangled peer in the pre-insulated ductwork space.
- Carrier Global (HVAC division): Carrier is a global HVAC OEM whose ductwork and air-handling systems often specify the duct components used alongside them. While not a direct ductwork manufacturer, Carrier is an ecosystem participant that influences ductwork specification in large commercial projects.
- Lindab AB: Lindab is a major European HVAC ductwork and air-distribution manufacturer with a broad metal and pre-insulated product portfolio. It is the dominant incumbent against which EcoDuct must win specifications in commercial HVAC projects.
