FabricAir Dispersion Systems
Custom-engineered fabric duct systems deliver precise air distribution for industrial and commercial spaces. Our patented textile technology ensures even airflow while preventing condensation issues common in metal systems. Applications include food processing plants, sports facilities, and cleanrooms where hygiene and efficiency matter most.
VarioDuct Technology
Temperature-adaptive ducting that optimises heating and cooling performance through internal membrane technology. This solution maintains comfort levels while reducing energy consumption in facilities requiring seasonal climate control adjustments across Europe and North America.
BorealisWind Ice Protection
Patented fabric duct system prevents ice formation on wind turbine blades, maintaining energy production in cold climates. The DNV-certified solution increases annual output by 10% while enhancing safety for maintenance crews and nearby communities.
Ceiling Diffusers
Lightweight, washable ceiling ventilation units that integrate with suspended ceilings. These systems provide draft-free air distribution while reducing installation time by 40% compared to traditional metal diffusers in office and retail environments.
Defrost Ducts
Energy-efficient ducting that reduces defrost cycle energy consumption by 75% in cold storage facilities. The system improves temperature consistency while extending intervals between defrost cycles, particularly beneficial for food storage warehouses in temperate regions.
