What Are Fabric Air Ducts?

Fabric Air Ducts are modern air distribution solutions that distribute conditioned air into a space through a textile-based duct system.

In these systems, air is supplied through the permeable fabric structure, laser-cut perforations, nozzles or special diffusion zones. This can reduce sudden air impact, uncomfortable drafts and uneven temperature distribution.

How Do Fabric Air Ducts Work?

A fabric air duct receives conditioned air from an air handling unit, fan coil, rooftop unit, chiller system or ventilation unit and distributes it evenly along the duct.

Air distribution can be achieved through micro-permeability, perforated surfaces, nozzle discharge or directed air outlets. Depending on the application area, low-velocity comfort air supply or long-throw air distribution can be provided.

Fabric Air Duct Applications

• Textile production facilities
• Food production and packaging areas
• Warehouses, storage facilities and logistics centers
• Sports halls and swimming pool areas
• Shopping centers and commercial buildings
• Factories and industrial production areas
• Laboratories and hygienic environments
• Cooling and ventilation applications
• Comfort air-conditioning projects

Advantages of Fabric Air Ducts

• Provides uniform and comfortable air distribution.
• Has a lighter construction than galvanized air ducts.
• Offers a short installation time and practical application.
• Provides a hygiene advantage with its washable and cleanable fabric structure.
• Can help reduce the risk of condensation.
• Can provide quiet, low-velocity air distribution.
• Can be designed specifically for each project with different colors, shapes and air discharge options.
• Maintenance and disassembly procedures are easy.

System Types

• Micro-permeable fabric ducts: Used in areas that require low-velocity and uniform air distribution.
• Perforated fabric ducts: Provide controlled air discharge in specific directions.
• Nozzle fabric ducts: Preferred in high-volume areas requiring long-throw air distribution.
• Semi-circular or circular ducts: Can be selected according to ceiling installation and architectural design.
• Custom-colored and branded fabric ducts: Can be used in projects requiring visual harmony.

Fabric Air Duct Selection Criteria

Fabric Air Ducts should be selected by evaluating airflow rate, duct diameter, room height, throw distance, temperature difference, installation type, application area, hygiene requirements and air distribution method together.

Fabric type, permeability value, color selection, suspension system, connection details, washing frequency, fire-resistance requirements and maintenance access should also be planned correctly.

Hygiene, Cleaning and Maintenance

Fabric duct systems offer an important advantage in areas requiring hygiene because they can be removed and washed. With regular maintenance, system performance can be maintained, particularly in food, sports, production and comfort areas.

The washable fabric structure helps reduce conventional duct issues such as dust accumulation inside the duct and cleaning difficulties. This makes maintenance processes more practical.
