The vinyl film facing is available in the colors of white or gray. Both faced products include a 2-in.-wide stapling and taping tab on one edge for ease of installation.

CertainTeed Duct Wrap Insulation's thermal properties help reduce heat loss or gain from equipment and ductwork, which can in turn result in energy savings and improved system performance. When installed with the proper thickness of insulation, Duct Wrap Insulation helps control condensation
problems on cold duct surfaces. It is available in a variety of thicknesses.

The CertainTeed Duct Wrap is provided in color-coded packages for easy identification of product at the job site. It meets and exceeds the fire safety requirements of building codes and government guide specifications. It is supplied in various widths and lengths.
