ductCHALLENGE Offers Online Comparison of Duct Designs

COLUMBIA, Mo., Oct. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Imagine getting the opportunity to "test drive" two different types of commercial duct configurations to determine the amount of labor it would take to install each one -- thus allowing you to determine which one offers you the best overall value after looking at both material costs and labor costs to calculate project profitability.
That's just what SEMCO Duct & Acoustical Products Inc. did.
At an event held at the company's custom duct manufacturing facility in Roanoke, VA, two groups of sales representatives were teamed together to challenge each other in an installation competition. One group was given a major competitor's "stock" configuration, supplied as loose fittings with uncut spiral duct in standard ten-foot lengths, while the other group assembled SEMCO's custom manifolded duct with many pieces factory-installed and spiral duct cut to length eliminating costly job site labor time.
The results? The custom manifolded duct from SEMCO was constructed in one- third of the time it took the other team to assemble the competitor's product offering.
It was from this exercise that the ductCHALLENGE was created. The ductCHALLENGE is an interactive online version of the same competition the SEMCO representatives experienced. By putting it online, SEMCO has given every commercial duct contractor the ability to "test drive" these two configurations to determine for themselves which product they would rather use on their job site.
Experience for yourself the labor-saving advantages of a customized duct system, by accepting our ductCHALLENGE. This virtual jobsite will allow you to see the disparity between a loose erector set style of "stock-type" duct components versus SEMCO's offering of complete fittings and cut-to-length duct. Simply click on the ductCHALLENGE link (http://www.semcoinc.com/) and within minutes you can assemble the two duct systems, then review the time and money differences, and you will understand why it makes good sense to use custom duct and fittings on your next project.
