Duct Insulation
Supply, return, grease duct, exhaust, and specialty acoustic ductwork — our crews install every duct insulation type to control energy loss, eliminate condensation, and meet fire and noise requirements.
Duct insulation is often the most visible insulation scope in a commercial building, and poorly executed duct work shows — condensation drips, ceiling stains, and noise complaints trace back to inadequate insulation. Resource Mechanical Insulation brings the same technical discipline to ductwork that we apply to piping: correct material for the application, proper vapor barrier continuity, and a finished installation that holds up over the life of the system.
We serve automotive plants, hospitals, pharmaceutical facilities, data centers, and commercial buildings throughout the Detroit metropolitan area and Southeast Michigan. Our crews are experienced with occupied-space work, overnight outages, and phased installation schedules that keep your facility running while we complete the duct scope.
Why Resource Mechanical Insulation?
Local 25 Union Workforce
Every insulator on our crews is trained and certified through Local 25 of the Heat & Frost Insulators and Allied Workers — the professional standard for the trade.
OSHA EMR 0.73
Our Experience Modification Rate of 0.73 ranks among the lowest in the insulation industry, reflecting a consistent commitment to job-site safety.
24 / 7 Emergency Response
Our dispatch line is staffed around the clock. When an insulation emergency hits — nights, weekends, or holidays — we mobilize immediately.
In-House Fabrication
Our Romulus shop fabricates custom pipe supports and removable blankets, cutting lead times from weeks to days and keeping your project on schedule.
What We Do
Supply, Return & Outside Air Duct
Fiberglass blanket and board, mineral wool, and elastomeric foam insulation on HVAC supply and outside-air ductwork, and on return ductwork in mechanical equipment rooms and unconditioned spaces — controlling thermal loss and preventing condensation on cold supply air ductwork.
Grease Duct, Exhaust & High-Temperature
Ceramic fiber and mineral wool insulation rated for extreme heat on commercial kitchen grease duct, boiler breeching, generator exhaust, and fume hood systems — meeting fire-separation requirements.
Roof Curb Infill & Exterior Ductwork
Insulated roof curb infill under rooftop air handling units for thermal performance and sound attenuation. Exterior ductwork receives weather-resistant aluminum or stainless steel jacketing.
Acoustic Duct Liner & Sound Lagging
Duct liner, mass-loaded vinyl, and sound-lagging systems reduce noise transmission from high-velocity HVAC equipment, rooftop units, and air handling plenums.
Our Process
Site Assessment
We walk your facility or review mechanical drawings to fully understand the scope, access requirements, and any scheduling constraints.
Detailed Proposal
You receive a clear, itemized quote with material specifications, quantities, and a realistic installation timeline.
Installation
Our union-trained crew completes the work per spec, maintaining quality checkpoints and coordinating with other trades on active job sites.
Documentation & Follow-up
We provide as-built notes, material records, and warranty information. We remain available for questions and follow-on scope.
