Special Options and Features Ensure Maximum Performance

Custom HVAC is far more than rooftop units and ductwork. In facilities where indoor air quality matters, the most significant equipment functions at a smaller scale. Components like grilles, diffusers, ceiling systems, and fan filter units play a leading role.

However, for these products to achieve high-performance specs, they must be customized for your industry requirements. You can’t quickly point and click in an online catalogue and expect to meet your benchmarks. That’s why facilities in healthcare, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, microelectronics, and laboratory research depend on customization.

When you have targets to meet to protect assets and people, you can’t afford the risk of relying on standard supply air grilles for critical environments, commercial return air grilles, and other essential products.

What Custom Air Distribution Really Means

Custom doesn’t just mean we stick your brand logo on our products once they’re built. In the world of custom HVAC, customization includes true craftsmanship to get every detail precise for your facility. We help you determine your needs based on your specific risks and performance expectations.

A custom approach may include:

  • Specific materials like 316 stainless steel for corrosive environments or aluminum construction when material weight matters.
  • Filtration options, including HEPA and ULPA filters, combined with products like diffusers, grilles, and fan filter units.
  • Precision-engineered airflow designwith laminar flow or opposed blade dampers to refine air volume and direction.
  • Modular ceiling systems and grids that can be modified to your design specifications and personnel needs.
  • An individualized approach to the design process, which allows you and your manufacturing team to develop ideal solutions together.

Custom Air Distribution Protects What Matters Most

It is important to distinguish that customization doesn’t just provide an advantage over other products. For many facilities, customization is essential for environments to operate as expected.

Consider healthcare, where HVAC offers a first line of defense against airborne contaminants like viruses and bacteria. A failure to get custom air distribution just right leads to healthcare-associated infections and a significant financial and reputational impact.

In pharmaceutical manufacturing, aerospace, and microelectronic fabrication, air quality is tied to process and product quality management. A lapse in air quality leads to damaged assets, supply chain slowdowns, and fractured partnerships.

Facilities like yours rely on customization to:

  • Maintain predictable, repeatable indoor air quality measures.
  • Align equipment performance with industry standards and compliance benchmarks.
  • Minimize opportunities for compromised assets or harm to human health.

When your facility has stringent requirements, “off-the-shelf” won’t meet your expectations, whether you’re seeking return air grilles for your critical environment or any other commercial HVAC product.

Where Customization Shows Up in Your Facility’s Air Distribution Plan

Many of your facility’s improvements for safe cleanrooms and indoor air quality happen at a small scale.

As you select air distribution products, consider these recommendations:

  • Choose materials that suit your environment’s demands.
  • Select surface finishes for healthcare safety and aesthetics.
  • Own airflow by selecting components that refine direction, reach, and volume.
  • Opt for products that include filtration measures (like space for HEPA or ULPA filters) as needed in your environment.
  • Ask pre-occupancy questions of your stakeholders to determine their needs.
  • Customize systems in ways that meet most preferences and requirements.
