DuctBoard™ is a proprietary, innovative floor sheathing panel that provides air distribution and incredible strength. There are three extensive Patents Pending (12/987,832), 13/016,320 and 13/539,919). Additionally, DuctBoard™ has an International Patent Cooperation Treaty application pending (PCT/US2011/048786).

DuctBoard™ is not only floor sheathing – it also provides treated air distribution to a home or business with separate integral plenums for supply and return air. Eliminating ductwork saves about $8,000 for an average home.
The inherent strength allows DuctBoard™ to be used with 48 inch spans with superior strength to conventional flooring systems. This reduces framing materials and labor, saving thousands in construction costs. Additionally, the plumbing and electrical trades save from easier installations with less obstructions.
