Why our calcium silicate ducts are more sustainable
Why our calcium silicate ducts are more sustainable
A comparative study delivers the undisputable proof: a ducting system built from calcium silicate boards has a smaller carbon footprint than the alternative ducting solutions in the market. Made from naturally abundant, responsibly sourced materials, these boards help to reduce a building's environmental impact. If you use our smoke extraction duct also for comfort ventilation, you get a double bonus: you use sustainable boards to design a sustainable HVAC system that needs less space and less fan energy.

Our PROMATECT ducting boards come with GOLD certificate
Our PROMATECT ducting boards come with GOLD certificate
All our PROMATECT boards come with a Eurofins Indoor Air Comfort Gold Certificate ( IAC Gold). This prestigious certification is only awarded to products that meet the highest standards for low emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in indoor environments.
- Product with best-in-class low VOC emissions, contributing to healthier indoor air quality
- Compliance with European legal requirements and voluntary labels like BREEAM, LEED, WELL, and Blue Angel4
- Regular factory audits and product testing to ensure ongoing compliance4
Why COMBI-PROMADUCT is the most sustainable option
Calcium silicate-based for sustainability
Made from naturally abundant, responsibly sourced materials, our boards help to reduce a building's environmental footprint. They have undergone rigorous VOC testing and have achieved Indoor Air Comfort Gold certification, ensuring that they contribute to healthier indoor environments. This combination of sustainability and health performance makes our calcium cilicate boards a responsible choice for low carbon building projects.
EcoFlow Ventilation initiative
Our large-dimension ducts are designed to optimize the natural airflow in a building, significantly reducing the need for mechanical fans to transport the air through the ducting channels. Academic research shows that this innovation can lead to up to a 95% reduction in fan energy consumption if the system is used for daily comfort ventilation. This means you now can design and build a system that will substantially decrease your building’s operational carbon footprint.
Efficient material use for less impact
By designing 1 COMBI-PROMADUCT system instead of 2 separate systems, you save valuable space and reduce the amount of material required. This leads to decreased storage needs, less transportation, and simplified installation. Fewer ducts also mean less embodied carbon in your building, contributing to a more sustainable construction process overall.
EPD’s as proof
EPD’s as proof
All our boards are produced in a responsible and sustainable way. Our EPD’s give you a full picture of the entire lifecycle of our ducting boards, from sourcing and transporting our raw materials until recycling. The EPD offers full transparency and allows you to design a sustainable solution that meets today’s stringent building criteria.
A strong focus on circular materials
A strong focus on circular materials
Each calcium silicate board used in our ducting system comes with a Circular Content Declaration Form, providing transparent information on the percentage of circular material used and their environmental impact. This makes it easier for you to incorporate truly circular products into your projects, supporting your sustainability goals. Our boards also contribute to gaining credits in sustainable building certification schemes and benefit projects focused on using circular materials, aligning perfectly with today's construction’s push for circularity and eco-conscious design.
