Updating the HVAC system in a building dating back to 1936 came with some unique challenges at Will Rogers Memorial Center Arena in Fort Worth, Texas.

The existing structure had limited capacity for additional weight, while the historic architecture left very little room for major modifications. Prihoda worked closely with the engineers, architects, and historic preservation team to develop a lightweight fabric duct solution that could fit between the roof trusses and follow the curved shape of the arena dome.

In total, 462 meters of fabric ducting were installed to distribute air across both the arena floor and spectator areas while preserving the character of this historic venue. 🏟️

Thank you Texas AirSystems for partnering with us!

A Prihoda system may look simple once it is installed, but much of the work happens before manufacturing begins.

AirTailor® helps the design team evaluate airflow, pressure, sizing, velocity, sound, and other project-specific factors so the finished system can be tailored to the space.

🤔 What is the first thing you notice when an HVAC system is too loud?

Whether you are trying to work, learn, record audio, enjoy a meal, or have a conversation, unwanted system noise can quickly affect the experience. Prihoda fabric ducts do not transmit and reverberate sound the same way traditional metal ductwork can, helping provide quieter air distribution without sacrificing airflow or comfort.

Where do you think quiet HVAC matters most? Let us know in the comments.

Maintenance requirements for a fabric duct system can vary depending on the material and operating environment. Prihoda provides material-specific care instructions, and each diffuser section includes a label identifying the appropriate washing procedure. 🧼

In some environments, routine vacuuming may also remove surface dust and extend the time between full cleanings. Learn more: https://prihodafabricduct.com/resources/maintenance-warranty/

Retail stores and restaurants need air distribution that keeps customers comfortable without creating distracting drafts or interfering with the appearance of the space. Prihoda fabric duct systems can be customized around the room layout, airflow requirements, and interior design of each project. 🌡️🍽️

When comparing fabric and metal ductwork, the material price is only one part of the total project cost.

Traditional metal systems may require insulation, sealing, painting, field finishing, heavier structural support, and additional installation labor. Prihoda fabric duct systems are lightweight and custom-manufactured, helping reduce many of those additional project requirements.

The right mounting method helps a fabric duct system work with the architecture of the space rather than against it. 🛠️

Prihoda systems can use cables, suspended tracks, surface-mounted tracks, or multi-track configurations depending on the duct shape, system size, ceiling structure, and desired appearance.

Heating and cooling require different airflow patterns because cool air falls while warm air rises. Prihoda’s Membrane Diffuser uses a movable internal membrane to open the appropriate perforations for each operating mode, allowing cool air to disperse gently while directing warm air downward toward the occupied zone. 🌡️

There is no universal air distribution solution for every building because the right design depends on how the space is used, where air needs to go, the required heating and cooling performance, and any special requirements involving hygiene, sound, appearance, or maintenance.
