What is Fabric Duct?
FabricAir systems provide a stylish, easy-to-install and maintain HVAC solution for new and retrofit applications. Custom-designed fabric duct systems offer ideal indoor air quality with precisely designed airflow for nearly every possible application that enhances performance and compliments the aesthetic appeal.
Why should you choose fabric over traditional metal?
Fabric-based air distribution systems offer several advantages over traditional metal ducts. Unlike metal ducts, fabric ducts don’t naturally develop condensation, eliminating the need for insulation. This not only saves time and money on installation but also reduces material, transportation, and storage costs. Fabric ducts also promote hygiene by preventing condensation-related issues like bacterial growth and mold, and they can be easily cleaned or even autoclaved. Additionally, fabric ducts are a better choice for noise-sensitive environments like libraries and auditoriums due to their unique sound-technical properties.
How to add fabric duct to your design
Cubic Feet per Minute (CFM)
to specify the diameter of the duct
Length of duct
to specify quantity of materials required to manufacture the system
Layout of the space
to specify optimal air dispersion locations, hardware required, and more
Mounting height
determines the type of air flow model required for the space
Type of AHU
to specify the right fabric for the application and space
Function of the space
determines fabric and dispersion types to ensure the best indoor air quality

“We use FabricAir dispersion solutions—contrary to metal ducts, it can blend in as well as stand out. It becomes a design feature and a conversation starter. We want to give the guests a reason to look up and the restaurant owner a way to individualize. We recommend it because of the efficiency and because it offers unique design opportunities. There are no hot spots and cold spots, there is no condensation dripping like with metal ducts, and it comes in a swoon of colors. Things do get dirty, especially in restaurants, so we love to explain to our clients that you can easily unzip it, take it home, put it in your wash, dry it and put it back up – you can’t do that with metal!”
