EcoDuct Market Update 11 June 2026

A smart response to rising material costs

With steel prices fluctuating and procurement risks rising, many developers, consultants and contractors are looking for ways to protect their project margins and delivery timelines, while also sourcing materials that have a vastly reduced environmental impact.  

As Construction News recently reported,‍ ‍Steel tariff changes pose 'severe and immediate' risks to construction

At EcoDuct, we offer a non-metallic, pre-insulated alternative to traditional steel ductwork that helps reduce these exact pressures. Manufactured in the UK using UK-produced insulation, EcoDuct provides a secure and reliable supply chain while reducing dependence on volatile global steel markets and imports.  

Because EcoDuct combines the ductwork and insulation into a single, factory-manufactured product, you get one-fit installation that delivers:

📉 Cost & Supply Certainty: Reduce your reliance on volatile steel markets and protect your project margin  

⏱️ Faster Programmes: Shorter installation times and drastically reduced site labor requirements  

🌱 Lower Carbon: Significantly less embodied carbon compared to traditional metal systems to meet sustainability targets.  

🍃 Easier Handling: Lightweight construction that simplifies on-site logistics, H&S and access  

Whether you are working on commercial offices, residential developments, healthcare, retail, education facilities or other specialist projects across the UK and Ireland, we help to focus on whole-project value rather than just initial material costs.
