Suvarnabhumi International Airport, Thailand, 2

Even air distribution

Distributes air evenly

Easy installation

As simple as it can get, no heavy machinery is needed, except for simple lifts to reach the high ceiling

Long lifespan

It is proven that the same fabric ducts can be used for decades

Aesthetic solution

Fabric ducts can be printed in any color and integrated into your design

Impact resistant

Ducts are flexible and can maintain their shape even after accidental bumps

High Indoor Air Quality

Creates a perfect and draft-free environment for event attendees

Metalco, Spain

“It works really well. We have finally eliminated the sensation of cold feet. Last year we had to close the doors to the warehouse, but still I could feel the cold.

This year we have fabric ducting. Our customers buy more, the longer they stay in the store, and for that we needed comfort without noise. The fabric air dispersion solution has surprised me by how easy it was install and how well it works. Air diffusion has turned out to be very uniform and it has efficiently solved the challenge.”

Jesús Marcen, Technical Manager

Perfect indoor air quality for large premises

Airports and other transportation terminals attract thousands of people. As a result, indoor air quality is of paramount importance. Fabric-based air diffusion systems ensure a high level of comfort for visitors and adapt perfectly to the interior design. Fabric ducts are also impact resistant, which is extremely important in such environments.

FAQ

The Newcastle Airport project used three fabric duct systems with D-shaped profiles installed directly beneath structural beams. NozzFlow was used to distribute a total airflow of 18,000 m³/h at 135 Pa while maintaining even air distribution in the terminal hall.

Fire performance is assessed for the individual textile rather than fabric ducting as one generic material. FabricAir provides fabrics with different classifications, including options tested according to EN 13501-1. Project teams should confirm that the selected fabric meets the specific fire requirements for the terminal.

Yes. Textile air distribution can be adapted to transport applications where available space and system weight are important considerations. The system design must account for the operating conditions, geometry and performance requirements of the vehicle or facility.

Fabric systems combine ducting and air dispersion in a lightweight textile solution. This can reduce handling, transportation volume and structural load compared with larger rigid metal systems, although the exact weight difference depends on the system being compared.

Lightweight duct sections are easier to move and handle at height than large rigid metal sections. The suspension arrangement can also be adapted to beams, ceilings and other structural constraints.
