FabricAir® Combi is extremely durable.
Introducing FabricAir® Combi
- the premium product line to choose when flexibility, durability, aesthetic and environmental issues are determining factors
by Brian Refsgaard, President
Although the advantages of our fabric ducting over metal ducting for air dispersion are numerous, there still exists a reluctance on the part of many potential customers to use fabric. One reason is that many believe that fabric particles from the duct itself as well as other airborne particles will be spread throughout the conditioned space by the porous ducting, thereby degrading IAQ. Some fear that the fabric may be a fire hazard. And others are concerned that, even though fabric does not provide a breeding ground for microorganisms, bacteria and mould will be spread throughout the space being conditioned via our porous fabrics.
There is also concern over the durability of fabric.
To allay these concerns, FabricAir engineers have developed our new line of FabricAir® Combi 100 percent polyester woven ducting. This new product line comes in four variations and addresses all of the concerns mentioned above.
FabricAir® Combi comes in 9 standard colours.
Strong and long lasting - guaranteed
By using extra thick woven polyester fabric, our engineers have created an extremely strong, lightweight fabric ducting that has an exceptionally long life. It is so durable that we give it a 10 year non-pro rated guarantee - the best in the industry.
Free of harmful substances
The new FabricAir® Combi - a 100 percent polyester woven fabric does not shed any particles into the air stream and does not contain any substances that are harmful to people or the environment. OKEO-TEX, a independent testing laboratory, has tested all four FabricAir® Combi lines and certified them as safe for humans and the environment.
Fire retardant
Of our four FabricAir® Combi products, three come pretreated with a fire retardant that meets the flammability requirements of UL NFPA 90A-1993, thereby making them virtually impervious to fire. In fact, FabricAir is the only supplier of fabric ducting in the United States who manufactures in a UL registered factory.
Kills microorganisms
Two of the FabricAir® Combi products come pretreated with an antimicrobial agent. So, in addition to not providing an environment where microbes can breed, these fabric ducts also kill microorganisms that are already in the air stream.
Competitively Priced
Even with all of its advantages, FabricAir® Combi fabric ducting is competitively priced with other systems.
FabricAir® Combi 60 • 70 • 80 are permeable and comes in FabFlow™, MeshFlow™ or NozzFLow™.
FabricAir® Combi 90 is non-permeable and comes in PerfoFlow™, SonicFlow™, MeshFlow™, OriFlow™ or NozzFLow™.
FabricAir® advantages also work for FabricAir® Combi
Uniform Temperature Ceiling to Floor
By taking advantage of our six FlowModel air flow controllers, any of these can positioned anywhere on the curved surface of a FabricAir® Combi fabric duct to delivery the ideal air flow to specific areas of any space. The result is consistent temperature floor to ceiling.
Lower Noise Levels
FabricAir® Combi fabric ducting provides air dispersion that is almost silent. The fabric also reduces noise levels because it does not convey sound along the duct as metal ducts do.
Fully Washable
To ensure optimum hygiene, FabricAir® Combi fabric ducts are easy and quick to remove from from their tracks and are fully machine washable. They also come in a choice of nine designer colours.
Longer Air Throws directed at Right Angles to the Duct
FabricAir proprietary nozzles that accurately throw air up to 80 feet (at only 0.5 inwg) can easily be incorporated into a FabricAir® Combi system.
The NozzFlow? nozzle throws air and can easily be positioned anywhere on the curved duct’s surface to direct air at any portion of a space.
The accelerated air from the NozzFlow nozzles exits the duct at right angles, providing accurate control of the air flow for the entire length of the duct.
