Choosing the Right Mounting Style

Factors influencing the best mounting style include:

• Ceiling Height: Surface-mounted options suit lower ceilings, while suspension is ideal for high ceilings.
• Duct Size and Shape: Larger or heavier ducts may require a double track or double cable for stability.
• Space Requirements: Half-round and quarter-round mounts save space in compact areas, and rectangular ducts are ideal for even air distribution in large rooms.

Each mounting style can be tailored to the unique needs of the installation space, ensuring efficient airflow, stability, and aesthetic harmony with the room’s design.
