Target trash chutes are constructed of #16 gauge aluminized steel, galvanneal and several different grades of stainless steel. Options for thicker gauge steel are also available. All of our equipment carries a one (1) year warranty. Standard trash chutes are 24” in diameter but can be customized to 18”, 20”, 28”, 30” and 36” options. Sound dampening coating can be applied to outside of chute to minimize noise emitted by the chute. Further sound protection is provided by applying a “wrap” insulation to the exterior of the chute. The floor frames of the chute are typically equipped with sound isolator pads at each floor connection point to isolate the chute from the floor of the structure.
