Ceiling Diffusers

FabricAir® Ceiling Diffusers are fully insulated, they prevent energy loss, eliminate any risk of condensation and are therefore suitable for isothermal or cooling conditions, and can be deployed for supply and extract air.

FAQ

CO₂ is commonly used as an indicator of ventilation performance. Elevated levels generally suggest that insufficient fresh outdoor air is reaching the occupied space. Good air distribution is also important because the supplied fresh air needs to reach students throughout the classroom.

The fabric duct system can be configured according to the available headroom and room geometry. Where a conventional round profile would take up too much space, a lower-profile system can be engineered to fit closer to the ceiling.

Yes. FabricAir offers a variety of fabric colors and printable options, allowing the duct system to coordinate with school colors, logos, patterns, or the overall architectural design.

Libraries and classrooms are designed for concentration and communication. The air distribution system should therefore provide sufficient airflow without creating excessive mechanical noise or uncomfortable drafts.

Warranty terms depend on the selected fabric and application. FabricAir offers different textiles with different technical properties and warranty conditions, so project teams should review the documentation for the specific material rather than assume that every fabric has the same service life.
