Flexible ducts are usually used because they are less costly than the traditional sheet metal ducts. The biggest drawback is that flexible ducts are too delicate to be used for long distances. Flexible ducts easily tear at their seams and also where they are bent, letting out all the heated and conditioned air you pay to have circulate throughout your home.
