Feature

Economics Systems that utilize fabric, such as DuctSox, provide targeted, precise and efficient air dispersion for new construction and retrofit projects. Additional benefits include a total lifetime ownership cost that is significantly less than a comparable metal ductwork layout and the ability for a system to be custom designed based on the application. Highly efficient Lower cost Precise airflow control Lightweight for easy shipping and installation
	Innovation DuctSox’s commitment to quality, service, and innovation has led to the expansion of the traditional fabric offerings to include USDA approved fabrics, an adjustable flow device, custom color and patterned fabrics and new products such as fabric drop plenum diffusers, sound attenuators, and the patented SkeleCoreinternal framework systems. These innovations make DuctSox the perfect air dispersion solution for any space and are ideal for a variety of environments…
Performance Fabric systems are lightweight, flexible and breathable which allows for uniform and precise air dispersion making it comfortable, quiet and more efficient, more saving energy than metal ductwork. Eliminate drafts with uniform, comfortable air dispersion Condensation free Quiet Hygienic and ideal for clean environments Performance guarantee

Required Maintenance for DuctSox Products
DuctSox fabric systems have been designed to reduce maintenance that is typically required by a traditional metal systems. There are three different areas to consider for maintaining your DuctSox products. Performance Aesthetics Hygienic
Performance DuctSox products have been refined to reduce or eliminate required maintenance. Over years of use, extensive dirt build up will have little, if any, effect on the air dispersion performance of your fabric system.
	Aesthetics Keeping the exterior of your DuctSox looking clean may be very important to you. If this is the case, your maintenance schedule should be no different than with metal duct. Although, keeping your DuctSox looking clean can be much easier and less expensive than keeping your metal duct clean. There are a few things that may help reduce the exterior dusting of a DuctSox, including selecting a porous fabric or cycling the system once daily. The most common options for cleaning your DuctSox include vacuuming and/or using compressed air, or it can be easily removed and laundered.
Hygienic Over its lifetime, the interior of a duct system will collect dust and/or other micro-organisms that have been known to contribute to sick building syndrome. DuctSox has a distinct advantage over metal—you can completely launder your fabric duct system. This allows you to clean both the inside and outside of your HVAC system helping to eliminate the contributors of sick building syndrome. Overall, the laundry requirements for each space varies based on the quality of the filters in the air handling unit, the amount of dirt entrainment entering the space (on people’s shoes and/or clothing), and other location related issues (e.g. near farmland). Based on our experience, average commercial spaces with relatively high traffic and 50% efficient filters may choose to launder their DuctSox after five to seven years. If your fabric is white, a more frequent schedule may be necessary.
