Selection of the most suitable material

Classic (PMS, NMS) or Premium (PMI, NMI)

Fabric Premium is unlike Classic in addition antibacterial and antistatic. Through these properties they are predetermined to use in the environment with the highest hygienic requirements or where it is necessary to prevent arising electric voltage between textile diffuser and earthing. Although the both categories reach usually the rank for the same class according to the flammability, fabric Premium are besides equipped with the special modification for minimization of combustion and fumes.

Air-permeable (PMS, PMI, PLS) or non air-permeable (NMS, NMI, NLS, NMR)

The only reason for usage of the air-permeable materials is need to prevent the water condensation on the surface of the diffusers. When in cooling with the temperatures under the dew point the non air-permeable material will behave like steel ducting and it is necessary to use air-permeable fabric, alternatively double or insulated ducting.

Light materials (PLS, NLS)

Their lower price is balanced with shorter warranty and life-time. Compared to other fabrics, these light materials are easy to wear out by washing and they will not last more than 50 washing cycles. Thanks to extreme low weight they are pleasant to touch in manipulation.

Foils and coated fabric  – Foil (NLF), Plastic (NMF), Glass (NHE), Translucent (NMT)

They can´t be washed in the washing machine, but on the other hand it is possible to clean them with the water flow and with wiping. Foils are the most convenient material with regard to price.

Recycled materials (PMSre, NMSre)

They are made of fibers gained through recycling of PET bottles and their usage will contribute to the protection of the environment. Every square meter of this fabric saves 13 PET bottles from the waste dump. Recycled materials aretechnically equal to category Classic.
