LowNoise™ = Silent Air Dispersion

Fabric air ducting is considered noiseless and FabricAir® provides solutions that additionally reduce noise down to
NC-15, which is very low.

LowNoise™ ventilation solutions are used in sound and television studios, churches, museums, libraries and similar spaces requiring noiseless ventilation. Ask for LowNoise™.

Teamwork Makes Us More Competitive

Developments in modern fabric dispersion systems are taking place so quickly that we need sophisticated laboratories and a large engineering staff for research to stay competitive. We cannot do this on our own. For this reason, we have chosen to ensure our future through partnerships. We chose the Austrian company Sattler AG - our business associate for many years - to perform research into and manufacture our permeable fabrics. Our goal is to achieve an industrial manufacturing process based on advanced technology instead of establishing our own textile manufacturing processes. Sattler AG is one of Europe’s largest textile factories and has devoted one of its production lines to FabricAir®’s fabrics.

Optimal
Permeable*
Fabrics

FabricAir®’s permeable* fabrics were specially developed for optimised application in air dispersion systems. See how this is done in points 1-5 below.

1Insignificant water absorption

”The drier the fabric environment, the lower the risk of bacterial growth.” FabricAir®’s fabrics are woven solely from top-grade polyester. Even under extreme conditions, these basic materials absorb no more than 0.5% moisture, which retards bacterial growth.

2Lowest shrinkage in the market

”The dimensions of a fabric dispersion system should not change!” FabricAir®’s fabrics are woven from pretreated fibres that are also heat-treated during the dyeing process. This stabilises the fibres to such an extent that we guarantee a shrinkage of less than 0.5%. This prevents the dimensions of FabricAir®’s systems from changing.

3Lowest permeability tolerance

”Stable tolerance at design pressure is ensured by means of stable permeability!” The permeability tolerances of FabricAir®’s fabrics are only ± 5%. The thicker large-surface weaves on the market have tolerances of over 20%. If driven to extremes this results in lower air volume than expected.

4Weighs up to 35% less

”Higher weight means higher maintenance costs!” We focus our development efforts on the variable operating costs of the fabric dispersion systems. To keep them under control, we have minimised the weight of our materials because we know that maintenance costs are proportionate to the weight of the material. These efforts have succeeded at the same time as we have maintain the durability and stability of our fabric. Compared to competitive fabrics, FabricAir®’s weave often weighs up to 35% less. This results in corresponding operational savings.

5Dyeing is standard

The dyeing process and finishing treat­ment are so efficient that FabricAir® can deliver all standard colours without charging a higher price. With us, you do not pay more for dyes that should be standard.

* Note: permeable means penetrable.
