About KE Fibertec

KE Fibertec develops, produces and markets air distribution systems based on fibre technology. Instead of traditional steel ducts, the air is routed through textile ducts, which enable draught-free and even air distribution without draughts or dead zones. All textile materials are woven from yarn to finished textile in the company's own weaving mill, KE Fibertec Weaving in Vejen, Denmark; more than 84 variants with different air permeability are available. The solutions with a material weight of 260–330 g/m² are lightweight, flexible and freely adaptable in dimensions, colours and shapes. The portfolio includes textile ducts, KE DireJet nozzle ducts, FBS ceiling panels, water impulse systems for rooms with high noise levels, and the Cradle to Cradle certified CradleVent ventilation duct. Areas of application include swimming pools, laboratories, food production, vertical farming, industry, sports and leisure facilities, as well as office and school buildings. In addition, the company offers sizing with the TBV Designer software, BIM/Revit support, installation, washing and maintenance service with its own laundry, and a repair service.
