Alnor EPP System – a modern heat recovery ventilation system with EPP ducts and fittings.
Heat recovery ventilation has become one of the key elements of modern, energy-efficient buildings. Mechanical ventilation with heat recovery ensures a continuous supply of fresh air, removes excess moisture and indoor pollutants, and at the same time helps reduce energy losses. To achieve maximum system performance, selecting the right heat recovery unit is only part of the equation – the ventilation ductwork is equally important.
The Alnor EPP System is a complete solution for residential heat recovery ventilation, comprising heat recovery units, ducts and fittings made of expanded polypropylene (EPP). This enables the entire ventilation system to be built using one fully compatible solution – from the air handling unit and outdoor air intake and exhaust ducts to all connecting components.

Key Benefits of the Alnor EPP System
Choosing EPP ducts and fittings means easier installation and reliable system performance. The key benefits of the Alnor EPP System include:
- No additional insulation required – EPP is an excellent thermal insulation material.
- Fast and easy installation – components are joined with a simple push-fit connection.
- No need for additional fixing accessories, such as screws or special sealing tapes.
- Easy to customise on site – ducts can be cut to the required length using a knife or saw.
- Lightweight construction for easier transport and installation.
- High resistance to moisture and corrosion.
- Reduced noise transmission within the ventilation system.
Thanks to its simple and practical design, the Alnor EPP System can be installed quickly and efficiently by both experienced HVAC professionals and contractors carrying out smaller residential ventilation projects.
What Is EPP and Why Is It Used in Heat Recovery Ventilation?
Expanded polypropylene (EPP) is an advanced material that is increasingly used in modern ventilation and heat recovery systems. Although it may resemble expanded polystyrene at first glance, its performance characteristics are entirely different. EPP is exceptionally lightweight while offering high mechanical strength, durability and excellent resistance to impact.
One of the greatest advantages of EPP ductwork is its outstanding thermal insulation. Traditional steel ducts require additional insulation, typically using mineral wool or elastomeric insulation. EPP ducts, on the other hand, provide excellent thermal insulation as an integral part of the material, eliminating the need for additional insulation.
As a result, EPP ducts help minimise heat loss, reduce the risk of condensation and improve the overall efficiency of mechanical ventilation with heat recovery.
EPP Ductwork – An Alternative to Insulated Steel Ducts
In conventional heat recovery ventilation systems, steel ducts are commonly used and must be insulated after installation. This increases installation time, requires additional materials and adds complexity to the installation process.
Alnor EPP ducts and fittings provide a ready-to-install solution that simplifies the entire installation. They are particularly well suited for outdoor air intake and exhaust ductwork, where effective thermal insulation is essential for maintaining system efficiency and preventing condensation.
By reducing the number of installation steps and components, the Alnor EPP System shortens installation time while delivering a durable, airtight and thermally efficient ventilation system.
EPP Ductwork – An Alternative to Insulated Steel Ducts
In traditional heat recovery ventilation systems, steel ducts are often used and require additional insulation to ensure proper thermal protection. This involves more installation steps, the need for additional materials and increased labour on site.
Alnor EPP ducts and fittings provide a ready-to-install solution that simplifies the entire installation process. They are particularly suitable for outdoor air intake and exhaust sections of heat recovery systems, where proper duct insulation has a direct impact on system efficiency.
The Alnor EPP System reduces the number of components required and shortens installation time while ensuring a durable, airtight and efficient ventilation installation.

Why Choose the Alnor EPP System for Heat Recovery Ventilation?
The Alnor EPP System has been developed for modern mechanical ventilation systems with heat recovery. The combination of lightweight, durable and factory-insulated EPP ducts and fittings with Alnor heat recovery units creates a complete solution that is easy to install and efficient in everyday operation.
The greatest advantage of EPP is its integrated thermal insulation, which eliminates the need for additional duct insulation. This helps reduce heat losses, minimises the risk of condensation and simplifies the installation process. Compared to traditional steel ductwork, the EPP System reduces the number of installation steps and additional materials required.
The lightweight construction, easy component connection and the possibility of simple on-site adjustment make installation faster and more convenient. At the same time, EPP provides high durability, resistance to moisture and corrosion, as well as beneficial acoustic properties.
By choosing the Alnor EPP System, investors receive not just individual components, but a complete heat recovery ventilation solution – from the ventilation unit and ductwork to all necessary fittings. It is a system that combines installation convenience, energy efficiency and reliability, ensuring a continuous supply of fresh and comfortable air in the home for many years.
