Frequently Asked Questions

The main cost-saving advantage of using Fabriduct™ is its ability to significantly lower labor expenses during installation. While the overall cost of a Fabriduct™ system is similar to that of metal components, the price of metal tends to be highly unpredictable and consistently increasing. In contrast, textile prices are stable and predictable, making Fabriduct™ a more reliable and economical choice.

Fabriduct™ is designed for easy maintenance, as it is machine washable. While Fabriduct™ typically requires minimal upkeep, neglecting to wash the ducts can lead to material buildup and impact system performance. We include washing instructions with each order; you can also find them at the link below.

Fabriduct™ air distribution orientation refers to the method of circulating air throughout a space using a Fabriduct™ system. To optimize air distribution, it’s essential to evaluate various factors, including climate conditions, specific heating, cooling, or ventilation requirements, and the size, type, and layout of the space.

Fabriduct™ is crafted from coated polyester fabric, a lightweight material designed for optimal efficiency. This material and strategically placed linear slots ensure the effective distribution of heated or cooled air throughout the entire duct system. Unlike traditional metal ducts, Fabriduct™ offers superior uniformity and efficiency in air distribution. Acting as its own diffuser through meticulously designed air slots, it increases diffuser surface area while significantly reducing material costs and simplifying installation. This makes Fabriduct™ a superior choice for air conditioning and ventilation.

Hero Fabriduct™ products are highly durable and have a proven extended lifespan. With proper maintenance, a Fabriduct™ system can last 20 years or more. Moreover, Fabriduct’s™ energy efficiency contributes to a lower carbon footprint.
