Welded Ductwork and Specialty Duct
From Grease Duct to Industrial Welded Duct
Most duct fabricators can deliver on the
basics of rectangular and spiral duct.
When it comes to heavy duty,
welded ductwork and specialty pieces made of galvanized, mild steel,
cold roll, stainless steel, aluminum, and more, owners, architects,
and project managers turn to experienced duct fabricators like
ZEN Industries.
In addition to standard HVAC ductwork and
fittings, ZEN Industries produces:
- Heavy gauge welded ductwork
- Welded roof curbs and exhaust ductwork
- Grease duct
- Stainless
- Aluminum
You can count on ZEN to meet compliance standards too. In North
America, grease ducts must be manufactured in compliance with
National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), standard 96, as well as
all local building and fire codes. Whatever specifications are
necessary for your project, ZEN works with you to assure on time, on
budget, and on spec performance.
Let’s take a look at some recent photos from our production floor.
Benefits of Stainless Steel Ductwork
Stainless steel makes an excellent choice
for ductwork from several viewpoints. While it is more
expensive than galvanized or aluminum, it is increasingly requested
by engineers for its unique advantages.
- Stainless steel boasts extreme durability and corrosion
resistance.
- Greater strength than aluminum with high abrasion resistance.
- Stainless resists condensation and moisture, giving less
opportunity for mold and mildew and resulting in healthier
buildings.
- Useful for both exterior and interior duct configurations.
- Stainless steel is 100% recyclable.
In situations where HVAC systems must move high volumes of
conditioned air, the rigidity and long life of stainless-steel duct
make it the superior choice. Stainless is also essential in
industrial situations where oil and other fine mists are being drawn
out of the air. Finally, the durability of stainless means the HVAC
ductwork lasts longer without replacement, lowering lifetime
building costs.

Update on Steel Prices
Last month we reported that hot-rolled steel
prices showed a decline for the first time in over a year.
The change was small, but steel users seem to think a decline in
steel prices is near, with 80% of executives believing hot-rolled
steel prices have peaked and that cold-rolled and coated products
have achieved flat or declining prices.
At ZEN Industries, we agreed. On the structural side, we have
experienced a small pricing decrease, the first since Aug. 2020. The
demand is lowering, scrap is lowering, pressure from imports and a
consumer base that has had enough price gouging are all leading to
lower pricing.
See the Carbon Steel Imports graph accompanying this article. The US
has more than doubled imports since Feb 2020.
Once the steel pricing went sky high, US manufacturers put in orders
for imported steel once they saw that this market was going to last
a long time. These orders are now being received, at a much lower
price than US produced steel.
So, the competition is back (even with the tariffs, the imported
steel is 20-30% less than current domestic), which will put pressure
on domestic steel producers to lower costs. The domestic mills want
that business that is now going to the international market due to
low cost.
At ZEN Industries, we believe these competitive pressues are sure to
deliver a cost reduction soon.
