weaving mill
The quality indoor climate
starts with finding the right material.
But what is the right material for ventilation based on textile?
The one that is made with a tradition in our family weaving mill located in Denmark.
FAMILY HISTORY
The Traditions & Sustainability
In Denmark in 1972 was established a weaving mill that specialises exclusively in the manufacturing of textiles for air distribution.
With time this family business has joined the KE Fibertec Group, however, its management still remains in the hands of the founding family. Today the weaving mill is run by Mr. Frank Hansen, the third generation of the family tradition.
Frank Hansen successfully combines traditional proven methods with sustainable and eco-friendly methods. For example, the weaving mill uses only renewable energy sources, efficiently uses the generated waste or implements new production processes.
The unique manufacturing of fabrics
Our weaving mill is dedicated to the production of two premium fabric types, DFC-HT and TCS, which both meet Cradle to Cradle certification criteria.
For the manufacturing process we use flame retardant polyester fibers, which are sourced from the same granulate for both fabrics. The different yarn processing procedures ensure that each fabric acquires its own unique properties.
DFC-HT is made from longer and parallel-arranged fibres, which gives it excellent strength and durability. In contrast, TCS is made from shorter fibres that slightly protrude, which gives the material a greater dust-holding capacity.
Our portfolio also includes the DFC-0 material. This material, due to its specific non-permeable properties, we are unable to produce ourselves and therefore we are purchasing it from a proven supplier from Italy.
We carefully monitor many different factors in the yarn. One of them is the oil content. This factor is essential to ensure the unique property of our fabrics. The air permeability.
The Air Permeability
Our materials allow the natural air passing through fabrics without the requirement of any perforations.
This unique ability is achieved by special warp preparation, during which the tension of the yarn is kept constant during winding on the coil. During weaving, we then adjust the weft density to achieve the desired permeability.
Before the final inspection, the fabrics are heat-fixed in a special machine at a temperature of 160° to 190°. This step avoids possible shrinkage of the material in the future, which would result in changes in the permeability.
Thanks to the fixation, we can also provide you with the guarantee of the best shrinkage on the market, only up to 0.5%.

Technology of dyeing and printing
We are aware of the importance of environmental protection, and therefore, we have decided to abandon traditional dyeing of already woven white rolls, which consumes up to 25 l/kg of water.
Instead, we dye and print using 3 alternative methods that are more environmentally friendly:
- Cone Dye: This method involves dyeing white yarn on a cone through gradual dye penetration. This method consumes only 5 l/kg of water.
- DopeDye: The most eco-friendly method, where dry dye is added directly to the granule production process, meaning no additional water is added to the process.
- Transfer: With this technique, color is transferred from paper to fabric in a printing machine. This allows for transferring more than 1,600 colors, as well as various patterns and prints, onto the fabric.
By deciding to stop using the traditional method of dyeing entire rolls, we have achieved water savings of up to 67%.
With respect for the environment
Waste generated during the weaving of our fabrics is considered a valuable resource.
We strive to apply the principles of the circular economy throughout our production.
- Leftover yarn serves as a primary raw material for producing cords, which are then used for suspending ducts in tracks.
- Remaining plastic spools are granulated and utilized for the production of other items.
- Fabric scraps find application as input material for other companies, such as in the production of acoustic panels.
Our goal is to achieve zero final waste production, as we see every generated waste as an opportunity for further development and innovation.
Robotic assistant
Robot Albot is the youngest member of our team.
In March 2019, we expanded our team with the addition of Albot, a robot tasked with one of the most demanding duties - preparing yarns for weaving.
Thanks to Albot, our employees can focus on less physically demanding yet equally important tasks.
This advancement allows us to more efficiently allocate work tasks while maintaining the quality of our fabrics.
