(SHELBYVILLE, August 9, 2004)  Knauf Insulation today announced the introduction of its new Friendly Feel Duct Wrap with KwikStretch markings.  The new product is soft to the touch and includes staple flange markings for easy measurement, adding to installer efficiency and comfort.

Changes in binder composition and fiberization processes make Friendly Feel Duct Wrap softer while maintaining the traditional density and consistency that have made Knauf duct wrap the recognized industry quality leader. But now, it’s even easier to handle and install.  Friendly Feel Duct Wrap reduces energy usage, improves HVAC system efficiency and controls exterior duct sound for rectangular or round sheet metal ducts.

 

For faster installation and convenience, KwikStretch markings are applied to the staple flanges of the product’s foil-scrim kraft (FSK) and polypropylene-scrim kraft (PSK) facings, allowing for fast, easy and accurate measurement without a tape measure.

 

“Friendly Feel Duct Wrap provides a new level of comfort and convenience to installers,” said Mark Smith, Knauf’s Marketing Manager for Air Handling Products.  “Knauf has always been known for products that are less dusty and easier to install than the competition – Friendly Feel Duct Wrap takes these qualities to the next level.”
