If you’re working in a space that requires constant ventilation you’re going to need ducting. The point of ducting is allowing the passage of air in and out of the space that requires ventilation. Ducting will not work on its own however; you need a ventilation system in place in order to get the airflow moving through the ducting. The ventilation system sucks the noxious fumes or whatever you want out of the space with the ducting out, while the other part of the ventilation system draws in clean air through the ducting. Ducting is essential because some toxic fumes will unfortunately be harmful to people and even gasmasks and other standard ventilation systems will not be able to protect them, a responsible employer does the right thing in circumstances like this and installs ducting in order to protect these workers doing their job in these environments, or else legal repercussions may mount against the employer and could lead to huge monetary and asset loses as a result. The ducting used can vary between solid and loose, neither have any massive improvement over the other, the loose ducting allows the airflow to move through move through it more smoothly due to the free-flowing design of the ducting.
Ducting needs to be installed by a professional, doing it yourself is unfortunately a bad idea without any experience due to the complexities of getting the ducting system working correctly. The stages of ducting installation start with getting the intake and exhaust ports of the ventilation system sorted first of all, if the building you are working in already has them no conversion of the building has to occur, but if not you’re going to pay extra on the whole ducting installation process as a result. Next up the ducting has to be anchored to the ceiling and through the infrastructure of the building, and placed strategically in the room that requires the ventilation for maximum intake of fumes and maximum output of clean air to replace it. The last stage of installing the ducting is getting the ventilation systems sorted, and then the ducting process is then complete.
