Corrosive chemicals and poor ventilation can ruin a day at the pool. However, the right combination of fabrics and flow models prevents the indoor air quality of pool areas from taking a nosedive while providing an aesthetic discreet duct profile.
Distributes air evenly throughout the facility
As simple as it gets; no heavy machinery or special tools required
Proven durability for decades to come
Fabric does not rust and specifically designed suspensions for harsh environments prolongs the lifespan of the system
Ducts are flexible and can maintain their shape even after accidental bumps
Creates a perfect and draft-free environment for a nice day at the pool
“Fabric ducts were chosen for this project because they are the most suitable in a corrosive environment and will not be affected like metal ducts would have. The architect was happy with the fabric ducts from an aesthetic perspective; the attractive look of the ducts makes them a part of the architecture and acts as great decorative element. But most important was that it is suitable in a corrosive environment.”
Michael Becker, Air Conditioning Systems
Creating a comfortable environment for swimmers while ensuring the overall health of the structure are the keystrokes for your pool area. Check out the best duct and related components below for more information on how you can keep from treading water in your pool area.

Indoor pools combine high humidity, condensation risk and chemicals from pool water. Permeable fabric allows a controlled amount of supply air through the duct surface, helping keep the textile dry and reducing the risk of condensation forming on the duct itself. The complete HVAC system still needs to control the room’s temperature and humidity.

The air distribution system can be custom engineered to direct conditioned air toward cold surfaces such as windows and exterior walls. Maintaining air movement in these areas helps reduce stagnant pockets of humid air where condensation is more likely to develop.

Chloramine-containing air can accumulate close to the water surface, where swimmers breathe. The ventilation system needs sufficient air movement to move contaminated air away from the occupied zone without creating unnecessarily high velocities that increase evaporation or cause uncomfortable drafts.

Polyester fabric does not rust like conventional metal ductwork and is well suited to humid environments. Suspension components should also be selected for the corrosive conditions of the project. FabricAir offers fabrics with certifications including UL 2518 and Canadian fire-performance documentation, depending on the selected textile.

Yes. Fabric ducts are lightweight and arrive as pre-engineered sections, reducing much of the heavy handling and on-site fabrication associated with rigid metal ductwork. This can significantly simplify installation, although the actual time saving depends on system size, access and suspension requirements.
