Duct & Pipe Cladding Solutions Installation Contractor in Dubai UAE

In the demanding climates and dynamic industrial landscapes of the Middle East, robust thermal insulation and mechanical protection are not just desirable-they're essential. Protek Contracting, a pioneering name in the insulation and cladding sector, offers world-class Duct & Pipe Cladding Solutions Contracting Services in Dubai, UAE and Middle East, servicing all emirates including Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah, and Fujairah.

We deliver engineered cladding systems that not only enhance insulation performance but also protect ductwork and pipelines from mechanical damage, weather conditions, and corrosion. Backed by ISO standards, stringent quality controls, and on-site expertise, Protek Contracting is the preferred partner for energy, infrastructure, HVAC, petrochemical, and industrial clients.

What is Duct & Pipe Cladding?

Cladding for ducts and pipes involves installing an external protective layer-commonly made of metallic or non-metallic materials-around pre-insulated HVAC ducts, utility piping, or process lines. While insulation preserves thermal or acoustic properties, cladding adds protection, prolongs lifecycle, enhances appearance, and ensures compliance with safety standards.

Protek specializes in comprehensive duct and pipe cladding installations across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah, with custom fabrication and rapid deployment capabilities.

Scope of Duct & Pipe Cladding Solutions

We offer turnkey cladding services for a range of piping and ducting systems, including:

  • HVAC supply and return air ducts
  • Chilled water and hot water piping
  • Steam lines
  • Oil, gas, and process pipelines
  • Firewater and utility lines
  • Roof-top exposed duct networks
  • Marine and offshore pipelines
  • Chemical transfer and refinery duct systems

Our solutions are in high demand across Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, and Ras Al Khaimah, where protection from saline air and temperature extremes is critical.
