Some of the commercial duct sales and fabrication services we offer include:
Spiral Duct
Our spiral duct selection includes pipes, reducers, spiral diffusers, end caps, saddle taps, couplers and more. Some of the advantages of using commercial spiral ductwork include:
- Less leaking: Spiral duct joint shapes minimize leaks to help keep heating, filtering and cooling costs low while maintaining indoor air quality.
- Less noise: These ducts have low-pressure drops and a compact design, resulting in less noise.
- Easy insulation: Spiral ducts are accessible to insulate due to their stiff design.
- Easy to clean: This duct configuration allows easier cleaning using cost-effective methods.
Rectangular Duct
We have an extensive range of rectangular ducts, such as square duct hangers, general return air boots, shortway elbows, starting collars, duct adapters and more. Some advantages of using rectangular commercial air ducts include the following:
- Compact: Rectangular ducts are shorter than spiral ducts and, therefore, ideal for ceilings with depth restrictions.
- Easy to connect: These ducts are a great tap-in when working with a trunk and branch system.
- Accessible: Rectangular ductwork is easy to insulate and maintain.
- Cost-effective: These units are more accessible and cost-effective to ship because they can lie flat for transport.
Flex Duct
Our extensive selection of flex ducts includes 5-foot sleeves, aluminum flexes, high-pressure and AMF insulated flexes. Our commercial flexible ducts vary in length, color, vapor barrier, insulation, inner core, diameter and helix construction. We also have a range of flexible ducts serving specific purposes like:
- Acoustic ducts: This style is ideal for areas that need noise control, such as schools, offices and conference rooms.
- High-pressure ducts: These ducts use airtight polyester aluminum foil and a polyester tri-laminate inner core for stability. They are suitable for high-velocity HVAC systems.
- Antimicrobial ducts: Perfect for medical facilities and other sensitive areas, this design has an Agion®-treated inner core that resists microbial growth and a unique blue vapor barrier to keep the HVAC system clean.
Spiral Ductwork
We manufacture spiral ducts in-house, providing standard sizes and custom-cut lengths up to 20 feet. Spiral ducts are a popular option for commercial HVAC systems due to the design's ability to lessen leakage and reduce noise generation.
Flexible Ductwork
We carry flexible ducts that are excellent for installation and repairs in tight spaces, as the design allows them to twist and turn for a perfect fit. Flex duct selections come in 25-foot lengths, but you can also cut them down to fit your requirements.
Rectangular Ductwork
We offer an array of rectangular ductwork configurations that vary in joint and seam type. These ducts are easy to install and require minimal maintenance from your clients.
Benefits of Commercial Ductwork
Commercial ductwork offers several advantages for your business. With the right ductwork system, your company can:
- Save money: Our services can help you identify and address problems early on to prevent them from becoming more extensive, more expensive repairs later.
- Improve airflow throughout the facility: Properly designed ductwork improves airflow to distribute air conditioning throughout the building, making your business comfortable for employees and customers.
- Comply with regulations: Our commercial air duct services ensure your HVAC system complies with local and national rules to reduce your chance of penalties or fines.

Poor ductwork design or installation can cause problems in the future. Hennemuth Metal Fabricators identifies and resolves many common air duct issues, including:
- Poor design: Overly long ductwork forces your HVAC system to work harder than necessary, and the wrong-sized ductwork cannot handle the load.
- Leaking seals: Unsealed ductwork can cause air to leak into attics and crawlspaces, increasing your energy bills and reducing airflow.
- Lack of returns: Ductwork returns draw air back into the system for temperature control, and a lack of returns causes inconsistent temperatures and forces the HVAC unit to run more than it should, increasing energy costs.
What Is Commercial Ductwork?
Commercial ductwork is made of the same materials as residential, but factors like size, location and maintenance all change in a commercial application. Consider commercial ductwork as an extensive system usually installed inside a building to ensure adequate ventilation and promote air quality.
Commercial ducts, such as stainless steel and fiberglass, help with a building's airflow on a larger scale. The other significant difference with this type of installation is that it happens inside, so contractors usually work in public spaces.
Commercial Ductwork Cost Per Square Foot
Here at Hennemuth, we combine quality service and materials with a fair price. We never guarantee a price since materials costs shift often. Usually, ductwork costs about $0.50 to $3.00 per square foot, with new construction HVAC costing $1.75 to $2.50, depending on the size and type.
