Advantages of the PLUMBOX ® textile plenum

Ultra-light: Weighing just 145 g, PLUMBOX is easy to handle and fit, even under difficult access conditions. No more handling heavy, bulky plenums at height!

Compact and flexible: Thanks to its textile design, PLUMBOX is suited to numerous suspended ceiling configurations, and can be fitted in the tightest spaces. Supplied in folded format for optimal transport and storage.

Quick to install: PLUMBOX’s patented design featuring self-fastening mountings makes it simple and intuitive to fit, without the need for specific tooling. This will provide you with substantial time and labour savings.

High-performance and homogeneous: PLUMBOX’s textile structure ensures uniform air distribution over the whole surface of the diffuser. This guarantees maximum performance.

Hygienic and durable: The technical textile used for PLUMBOX has a mould-resistant antibacterial coating. This machine-washable textile retains its appearance and mechanical properties over time.

PLUMBOX ® specifications and applications

Fire resistance: PLUMBOX is designed with an M1 rated textile (B-s1-d0) meeting strict fire resistance standards, and ensuring both the safety of the installation and the peace of mind of its users.

For all types of buildings and projects: PLUMBOX is ideal for both large and small tertiary sector buildings. PLUMBOX is a single, universal model which can be installed on the vast majority of 595×595 square diffusers. The plenum’s spigot is suitable for multiple duct diameters (160 to 315 mm), unlike metal plenums which have a fixed spigot diameter.

PLUMBOX ®, an environmentally-friendly product

The technical textile used for PLUMBOX is fully recyclable, and whenever possible made from scraps from textile diffusion duct manufacturing, which contributes to reducing the environmental impact of your air diffusion projects. This characteristic makes PLUMBOX an ideal choice for environmentally-conscious projects. With PLUMBOX, the environmental impact is 80% lower than when using a conventional metal plenum.

PLUMBOX contributes to reducing the carbon footprint of your projects throughout the product’s life cycle (manufacture, transport, end-of-life). Opting for a PLUMBOX means contributing to reducing waste, and to conserving natural resources. 🌱💚
