Heat stratifies — deal with it at roof level
In a high warehouse, warm air collects under the roof while the working level stays stagnant. Extract at high level removes that hot layer before it can radiate down, and can make a noticeable difference without cooling the whole volume.
- High-level roof or ridge extraction for hot air
- Destratification fans to mix warm roof air with cooler floor air
- Axial or roof fans for large open volumes
- Local extraction at welding, painting or dust-generating activities
- Ducted systems for zoned or process-specific requirements
Where people actually work
Ventilation design follows the working positions, not the building footprint. Pick-and-pack stations, forklift aisles and mezzanine offices each need a different approach; a single extract point at the ridge will not look after a mezzanine that has been added under it.
Fumes, dust and process air
Where a warehouse also does light manufacturing, welding or vehicle work, general ventilation is not enough. Local extraction at the source, ducted to a dedicated fan, keeps fumes out of the general air before they spread through the volume.
Roof access and structural fixing
Roof-mounted plant has to be fixed to structure, flashed and weatherproofed properly. We plan penetrations and supports with the building’s structure in mind and complete the weatherproofing as part of the installation, not as an afterthought.
Included in our scope
- Warehouse heat and fume assessment
- Extract volume and fan selection
- High-level or ducted extract installation
- Destratification or air circulation fans
- Roof penetration, curbs and weatherproofing
- Commissioning and airflow checks
