We use FabricAir canvas ductwork. Unlike traditional metal ducts, it can seamlessly blend into an interior or stand out as a bold design feature. In fact, it often becomes both a visual highlight and a conversation starter. For restaurants, this means giving guests a reason to look up while providing owners with a unique way to individualize their space. We recommend canvas ductwork not only for its efficiency but also for its ability to create customized design opportunities. With canvas ductwork, there are no hot or cold spots, no condensation dripping like with metal ducts, and it is available in a wide variety of colors to match any décor. And because hygiene is essential in restaurants, cleaning is effortless – simply unzip the fabric ducts, wash, dry, and reinstall. It’s a level of practicality and convenience that metal ductwork simply can’t match.

What is the lifespan of canvas ductwork and what warranty is offered?

Canvas ductwork is manufactured from high-quality technical textiles that are built to last for many years under standard operating conditions. Most suppliers, including FabricAir, provide a variety of warranty options based on fabric type and application – typically ranging between 5 and 15 years.

What are the typical applications of canvas ductwork?

Canvas ductwork is highly versatile and can be found in gyms, sports arenas, offices, restaurants, retail stores, warehouses, healthcare facilities, and food processing plants. Its adaptability, hygienic properties, and design flexibility make it an excellent choice for both commercial and industrial applications.

How easy is it to clean and maintain canvas ductwork?

Maintaining canvas ductwork is simple and cost-effective. The ducts can be easily unzipped, removed, and machine-washed, then reinstalled once dry. Unlike traditional metal ducts, which are expensive and time-consuming to service, canvas ductwork allows for quick cleaning and ensures optimal hygiene. Regular washing keeps the system performing at its best – an especially valuable feature in environments like restaurants, gyms, and food processing facilities.
