DuctSox Advantages
Each DuctSox system includes five key elements that can be customized to meet the exact needs of each application improving air quality and efficiency over comparable metal systems.
DuctSox Advantages
Shape
Metal ductwork systems don’t lend themselves to much creativity. If you’re planning to construct a new building with a modern aesthetic or retrofitting an existing building with architectural limitations, using metal ductwork can become quite challenging and costly. DuctSox fabrics can conform to any space and for added customization are available in four shape configurations: cylindrical, half-round, quarter-round and oval.
Suspension
Whether horizontal, vertical, or angled, cylindrical DuctSox are available in a variety of suspension and retention systems.
For applications where the DuctSox will be mounted against a flat surface (wall, ceiling, or both), the surface mount products feature flexibility for shape, configuration, and inlet position (end, top, back).
Layout
With the entire DuctSox system acting as a diffuser, air dispersion and distribution is combined allowing simple and efficient layouts that typically cost 20-80% less and outperform comparable metal duct systems.
Fittings
Not every application is a straight line of DuctSox. To accommodate this, we offer a variety of standard fittings. We also offer custom fitting configurations.
Air Dispersion
In open ceiling architecture, traditional metal duct systems discharge air through side-mounted metal diffusers. The air is directed to specific zones resulting in less efficient mixing of air in the occupied space and often causes drafting and hot or cold spots. With a DuctSox system, the air is efficiently discharged along the entire length, providing consistent and uniform air dispersion in the occupied space.
Fabric Maintenance
DuctSox systems have been designed to reduce or eliminate required maintenance. Cleaning metal ductwork systems can be expensive, and these costs are often overlooked. Neglected interior air systems can be a leading contributor to sick building syndrome, human health problems, and possible contamination. DuctSox fabrics come with the following distinct maintenance advantages over metal systems:
Fabric Customisation
Metal ductwork systems will scratch, dent and over time their paint will peel requiring maintenance to repaint. DuctSox fabrics are forgiving meaning they will not scratch or dent. Unlike metal ductwork, DuctSox fabric comes in a variety of standard colors, patterns, and custom colors direct from the factory and can be personalized with company logos, mascots, taglines, and patterns.
Options: Adjustable Flow Device (AFD)
Airflow control is critical in HVAC air dispersion. DuctSox’s patented zip-in Adjustable Flow Device (AFD) is an added option that offers
variable resistance to balance static regain, balance airflow to branches, reduce turbulence, and reduce abrupt start-ups.
AFDs are preset from the factory and come standard with Sedona-Xm and TufTex systems, but are also an available option with other DuctSox fabrics. All AFDs can be custom adjusted in the field to meet system performance requirements.
Options: Silencer™
Fabric air dispersion systems can be designed to be quiet, but, noise entering the system from air handling units, volume control dampers, or fan-powered boxes, can create an uncomfortably noisy environment.
The DuctSox Silencer™ is a fabric sound attenuator that was developed to address just that—noise from the mechanical equipment. The Silencer is installed in the occupied space, offering an aesthetically pleasing appearance that can be customized to match your DuctSox system’s fabric type and color.
