FAQs
Fabric ducting systems provide superior air dispersion, are lightweight, and have a less invasive, faster installation process compared to traditional metal ductwork. They can be custom designed for the specific requirements of a space, and they provide uniform air distribution. They also will not sweat, rust or corrode. Significant cost savings, and custom aesthetics such as custom colors, logos and patterns.
Fabric ducting is generally low maintenance. It’s typically designed to be machine washable, making it easy to keep clean. However, specific maintenance practices may vary based on the exact type and manufacturer of the fabric duct.
Fabric ducting is often made from recyclable materials, and its energy efficiency can contribute to a lower carbon footprint. However, the exact sustainability will depend on the specific manufacturing and use practices.
Custom ducting solutions can offer a range of air dispersion types. This includes micro-perforations for precise cooling, linear vents for focused directional airflow, nozzles for high-velocity targeted air, and more.
The fabric duct system operates by using static pressure from a mechanical fan to disperse air through a specially engineered ducting diffuser made of fabric. It works much like traditional metal ducts, but it allows for a more uniform and efficient air distribution due to the use of permeable materials.
Fabric ducts offer several advantages over traditional metal ducts. They are lighter, more cost-effective, easy to install, and provide superior air distribution. Additionally, they can be laundered for hygiene maintenance, which is particularly beneficial for environments like food processing plants or hospitals.
To calculate the CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) of a duct, you can use the formula:
CFM = Duct Area (sq ft) × Air Velocity (feet per minute)
First, measure the cross-sectional area of the duct in square feet, then multiply it by the velocity of the air passing through the duct, typically measured in feet per minute (FPM).
