Ductwork is manufactured in our Watford factory which houses our highly trained and motivated workforce of sheet metal workers, welders, CAD / CAM operators, loaders and quality controllers. The modern machinery at our disposal produces ductwork and fittings to the Specification for Sheet Metal Ductwork DW144.
This includes CAD / CAM optimised plasma laser cutting and the latest CFG profile auto duct automatic flange forming machine capable of producing straight lengths of ductwork from start to finish in approximately 14 seconds. This machine is one of only a few in the country at present.
FCS is also UK licensed to manufacture and install Promat durasteel fire rated ductwork. DURADUCT SMT and LT ductwork systems are made from DURASTEEL sheet: a non combustible composite of fibre cement, reinforced by mechanical bonded galvanised sheet steel. DURASTEEL is highly resistant to impact damage and moisture and retains its mechanical integrity even when saturated. DURASTEEL systems will provide up to 4 hours fire protection to suit the demands of modern developments. Examples of DURASTEEL usage are: car park extracts, sub-station ventilation, smoke extract and kitchen extract systems.
Viewings of our manufacturing facility are available by appointment.
