LIGHTWEIGHT COMPOSITE AIR DUCTS

At Frank Ralphs, we developed an industry-leading lightweight composite Air Duct. Their lightweight comes from their composite foam board core, while still maintaining structural integrity within a ceiling system. We are currently supplying the Rail Car industry but this product can be adapted for other transportation and industrial applications. We’ll find the solution for your needs, so send us your project or ideas!
