Dampers
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Manual dampers use a lever or handle to open or close the airflow path and suit simple, fixed-load spaces. Automatic dampers use a small motor with low-voltage control, offering faster response and precise distribution. For villas, offices, or multi-zone buildings, automatic dampers usually improve comfort and energy use.
Measure the duct width and height after subtracting the frame thickness. The damper opening should match or be slightly smaller than the duct for a tight seal. Check airflow velocity, leakage class, and insulation needs. Youmats can help match the size to your project's as-built drawings.
Yes. Choose galvanized steel, aluminum, or stainless steel with corrosion-resistant coating, especially for coastal sites. Use a sturdy frame, moisture-resistant insulation, and a tight closing mechanism to prevent air leakage. This supports compliance with Saudi project specifications and long-term performance.
A fire damper is rated by closing temperature, commonly 70°C or 280°C, and by permitted leakage rate. Select galvanized or stainless frames with fire-rated closing components and appropriate insulation. Make sure the damper matches Saudi approved technical specifications and the project's fire-protection design.
Price varies by size, material, control type, frame thickness, and number of openings. Manual dampers are usually lower cost than motorized automatic dampers, and multi-function fire or smoke dampers cost more. Youmats offers competitive pricing based on project quantity and confirmed technical specifications.
