Out of sight,
but not out of mind
Architects are often confronted with the seemingly impossible
problem of ensuring indoor air quality meets acceptable
standards, but without using ventilation equipment that spoils
the building’s interior design.
One of the biggest issues confronting the building services
industry is the battle to maintain good air quality inside buildings
without using equipment that is unsightly or noisy. This is a
key consideration in any conversation with an architect whose
concerns are, not surprisingly, to maintain the aesthetic quality of
their design and not upset interior sightlines.
We are all familiar with the principle of controlling temperature
inside buildings to improve comfort and health. When it is too hot
or cold outside, people expect to be able to step into comfortable
conditions inside.
The same principle should apply to air pollution with people
expecting a similar protection from outside conditions – not
forgetting that we spend around 90% of our time indoors.
As a result, adequate ventilation is a major preoccupation for
design teams – so being able to balance healthy conditions with a
discreet design is something of a ‘Holy Grail’.
Demand
At Air Diffusion we are seeing a dramatic increase in demand for
our FlowBar range of high capacity linear slot diffusers.
These are designed to combine a very high air handling capacity
with maximum flexibility and subtlety.
They are suitable for either ceiling or sidewall applications fitting
discreetly into a stylish interior to provide both practical and
aesthetic benefits.
The discreet and stylish look of these diffusers allows them to
blend into a design so they can be almost invisible, if required, or
can become part of the interior design by providing sleek lines in
walls or ceilings.
As a result, they have received a warm reception from both
architects and interior designers as a piece of equipment that
blends into the overall design.
FlowBar is available in straight lines or curves to blend with
other architectural elements and enhance the overall concept
of the project while also ensuring the occupied internal space is
adequately and efficiently ventilated.
The flexible, modular design means they can be configured in a
wide variety of lengths and slot depths to fit in with an interior
design.
This is a product that naturally lends itself to bespoke solutions,
which means the ventilation industry is able to live up to
the exacting standards and deliver the best of both worlds –
something of an architect’s dream.
