What Exactly is Fiber Fabric Ducting?

1. What is fabric duct？

The fiber fabric ducting is a kind of flexible air distribution system (Air Dispersion) that is woven from special fibers, that is, the Soth system. It is an air delivery terminal system that replaces traditional air supply pipes, dampers, diffusers, thermal insulation materials, etc.

The fabric air ducting is a unique air outlet mode that mainly relies on fiber penetration and nozzle jets, and an air outlet end system that can evenly supply air. In terms of production, it looks like a large cloth bag (SOCKS), so this system is often called cloth air duct, cloth bag air duct, cloth duct, fiber cloth duct, etc.

Of course, this is just a vivid statement. Because the fabric ducting system is not only a fabric air duct, having a function of airflow transmission, it is more important as an air supply device. The design of the system directly affects the air supply effect and cooling or heating effect of the entire space.

2. Application of fabric ducting

The fabric air duct system made from special material ducting is widely used and flexible, suitable for a variety of spaces, such as commercial places, sports venues, electronics, food factories, production places, supermarkets, and other business places. It can be connected to pre insulated metal ductwork and composite duct. It can also be customized and completely The air supply system can be arranged according to the actual situation of the air supply site.

3. What is the difference between metal ductwork and fabric ductwork?

Metal ductwork has been the traditional choice for HVAC systems due to its durability and ability to handle high air pressures. However, it can be heavy, difficult to install, and may require additional insulation to prevent condensation and energy loss.

On the other hand, fabric ductwork, offers a flexible alternative with several distinct advantages:

1. Lightweight and Flexible: Fabric ducts are easier to handle and install, reducing labor costs and time on site.

2. Aesthetically Pleasing: With a sleek and modern design, fabric ducts can blend seamlessly into any interior space.

3. Energy Efficient: The permeable nature of fabric ducts allows for a more even distribution of air, reducing energy waste.

4. Quicker Installation: Fabric ducts can be prefabricated and require less on-site assembly, speeding up the construction process.

5. Lower Air Leakage: Fabric ducts have a lower leakage rate, which contributes to better indoor air quality and energy savings.

6. Easy Maintenance: Fabric ducts can be easily cleaned and maintained, often with standard industrial washing machines.
