Fabric vs. Metal Ductwork

FabriDuct™ air dispersion systems are the easiest, most effective, and most cost efficient way to supply large quantities of low-velocity or non-directional airflow.

FabriDuct™ acts as its own diffuser through the placement of strategically designed air slots. This increased diffuser surface area, combined with decreased material costs and ease of installation makes this a truly superior method of air conditioning and ventilation.
