TEXTILE AIR DUCTS
TEXTILE AIR DUCTS ADVANTAGES
- Even air distribution all around – Due to the small pores and selected holes on the textile throughout the length of the textile air duct.
- Substantial air supply. – Due to the fast air speed within the textile air ducts.
- Noise-free operation – Due to their flexible materials.
- Healthy interior space environment – There are special types of textile with antimicrobial properties.
- Low cost to obtain and install – The overall costs of obtaining and installing textile air ducts are at least 50% lower, in comparison to metal air ducts.
- Easy and prompt installation
- Ability to wash – Textile air ducts are easily removed and washed.
- Lightweight
- Chromatic combinations and printing available – There is the option to select the color of the textile air duct, so that it matches the specific space. There is also the option to project an advertisement on its surface through printing.

FAQ – ANSWERS
What are textile air ducts?
Textile air ducts make the new, innovative and modern way of distributing the air conditioned air for heating, cooling and ventilation on various application spaces. The textile air ducts are advantageous in multiple key-points, when compared to conventional metal air ducts.
In what spaces are textile ducts installed?
Textile air ducts are installed in places like offices, libraries and theaters, due to the fact that noise-free operation and even distribution of air are required. In addition, they are installed in industrial spaces (food and medicine industries, warehouses, refrigerators), in which even distribution of air, steady temperature, easy cleaning and healthy environment are needed. Special places (studios, computer storage or use rooms, hospitals, restaurants) that require substantial air supply, noise-free operation and easy cleaning are also benefited by the textile air ducts, as well as conference halls and venues that need substantial air supply, aesthetic adjustment and even distribution.
Such spaces feature athletic halls, gyms, museums, theaters, exhibition venues, offices, swimming pools, super markets and shopping malls.

In which way is the air conditioned air distributed?
Air distribution in the air conditioned space takes place through special holes, which have been created on the textile. Their characteristics (type, diameter, number, distance between them, “installation time”) depend on the type of application.
Certain types of textiles are permeable, which means that a small amount of cubicles of the provisioned air passes through the tiny holes along the channel. The remaining and larger amount of cubicles passes through other holes, mentioned above.
In which ways are the textile air ducts supported?
There are two ways of support (suspension type) of the textile air ducts on the room; First, from the center of the air duct (single support) and second from both sides of the air duct (double support). In both types of support the textile will be supported on the roof with the help of a rail or wire rope.
Installation ways and methods of connection with the air conditioning units.
For the connection of the textile air duct with the air conditioning unit a plenum is required, on which the textile air duct will be connected through the use of a belt. The textile air duct, depending on its length, is produced in parts which are connected through a zipper.
Which types of textile are there?
There are various types of textiles used for the making of textile air ducts and depending on the application the proper textile is selected by the manufacturer. Besides the permeable and non-permeable textiles, there are also textiles with antimicrobial properties (they are mainly used in restaurants, food and medicine industries, refrigerators, warehouses), while in total the textiles are manufactured using materials that are durable in high temperatures. These temperatures might be reached in the occurrence of fire within the facilities.
In which shapes are the textile air ducts manufactured?
The most used shapes of manufacturing textile air ducts feature round and half round ones. In special cases other shapes may be manufactured, such as quarter round, circle section and rectangular ones.
