Discover which ventilation network best fits your project
Ventilation projects are increasingly combining considerations of sustainability, comfort, health, and energy efficiency. There is a clear objective to optimize resources. The aim is to advance along the lines of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs 2030) and the passivhaus philosophy. Ventilation companies present projects compatible with energy efficiency and the reduction of electricity consumption. This is also supported by the overall context of crisis, with the subsequent uncertainty derived from the invasion of Ukraine. For instance, the Spanish government's energy security plan is a response to this reality.
Ventilation solutions for each project
So, what ventilation network best fits each project? How to combine all these requirements into a useful and durable project? It is important to differentiate between ventilation in private homes, office buildings, healthcare complexes, and industrial plants. There is a wide variety of possibilities. Therefore, a personalized study and innovative approaches are responses to achieve maximum performance.The ideal of a well-executed project combines characteristics such as innovation, efficiency, and sustainability. Achieving this attractive combination requires informative, technical, aesthetic, and functional studies conducted by installers. Today, we can enjoy smart ventilation systems that respond to specific needs.
Among the available options are the following:
- Single-family residence.
- Multi-family residence.
- Tertiary sector (factories, industrial facilities, etc.).
- Garages.
- Individualized projects.
- Centralized ventilation.
- Inlets and entries.
- Fire protection.
- Fume extraction from hoods.
- Distributed ventilation.
Customization options
There are a series of ducts and accessories that allow adapting the installation to the characteristics of each space. The main ones are:Standard thermoplastic ducts and accessories
It is a ventilation network of ducts and thermoplastic accessories for self-regulating ventilation systems.
Their properties are standard and provide high efficiency in air conduction thanks to their manufacturing properties.
They are intended for self-regulating, humidity-regulating and dual flow systems. The standard Siber® ducts and accessories are designed to comply with all regulations related to the Technical Building Code (CTE) and the Regulations for Thermal Installations in Buildings (RITE).
They are also chemically inert and cannot cause or promote corrosion. They are perfectly designed to be impermeable and not encourage bacterial growth or suffer oxidation.
The main advantages of this system stand out for its ease and speed when installing the network as it adapts to the project needs (Hybrid, mixed or circular-rectangular systems). The smooth interior wall of the duct favors less pressure drop, lower dust retention, and noise reduction.
Compact shockproof accessories:
The type of installation fully adjusts to the characteristics of each space, being possible to install either in tree or star shape

Siber SafeFix 
This ventilation network provides high indoor air quality and optimal efficiency. It is, alongside the dual flow ventilation equipment, a high-performance material.The Siber® SafeFix thermoplastic ducts and accessories are used for ventilation network systems for both supply and extraction.
They adapt perfectly to the building's architecture thanks to their ultra-flat profile, both for new builds and renovations, single-family, and multi-family homes.
Their characteristics and dimensions translate into space and time savings required for the Ventilation system.
Thanks to the integrated EPDM gasket, the Siber® SafeFix duct network achieves a class D air tightness, the highest according to the EN-12237 standard.
Example of application for residential homes: Ultra-flat spine network – Thermoplastic and airtight for simple and discreet integration into the building's architecture
Siber Pure SafeFix 
Antibacterial and anti-static, for healthy and clean air
The Siber Pure SafeFix ducts are ideal for preventing health problems or discomfort caused by the sick building syndrome. They also help combat allergic reactions derived from polluted or toxic air.
This is possible thanks to their anti-static and antibacterial properties.

Components and accessories of the system
Siber Pure Air
It is a system for air distribution. It can be connected to optional units via mufflers and insulated ducts. It is especially designed for use with centralized mechanical ventilation systems with heat recovery. It is mainly used with ventilation systems for small commercial or residential buildings. The flexible duct enables the supply of fresh air. Moreover, it ensures a healthy environment because it extracts stale air and humidity.
Its installation is carried out through ducts and accessories with maximum performance, metallic and of various ranges. Rigid galvanized steel is ideal for use in air networks. They come in very different diameters. Added to this is a wide variety of accessories and special parts, which facilitate any assembly of air networks.Therefore, it is possible to implement any project, regardless of the architectural characteristics of the building. Among other added benefits is its low pressure drop, allowing for minimum noise levels.

Metallic Ducts
Special ventilation for the tertiary sector, garages, industrial installations, offices...G Joint Siber® 
The ease of assembly and quality of the accessories are also advantages. The G joints allow for speed and efficiency. Also, there is no need for masking tape or adhesive tape to ensure tightness. They feature a female design in ducts and male in accessories, as well as special pieces to respond to any need. The embedding technique is used to connect ducts, and the screws and rivets are for fixation.
Main characteristics:
- Simple and quick installation allowing for a time savings of more than 30% in assembly.
- Elimination of sealant/tape to ensure tightness
- Reduction of tightness imperfections related to installation
- Aesthetic appearance in the case of exposed air networks. Perfect architectural integration (without adhesive tape or sealant).
- Internal edges = lower risk of accidents (cuts) during installation.
Example of application in residential building:
SAFE® CLICK 
For its part, the range of Click joints provides quick and straightforward installation, allowing for a time savings of more than 40%. In many cases, no screws or rivets are required, nor sealant or adhesive tape, ensuring maximum tightness due to the absence of screws/rivets that create residual leaks. To connect two sections, only a male union accessory is needed.
