VAV DIFFUSION

We’ve been in the HVAC industry since 1979 manufacturing & supplying VAV diffusers, controls and complementary equipment. VAV diffusers are smart HVAC outlets that precisely control the volume of air to meet the demands of the occupant while saving energy, communicating with the BMS & giving the manager full centralised control of the ducted HVAC system.

We specialise in VAV diffusers & innovative add-ons, heater banks, pressure control dampers, temperature control dampers, fire dampers, supply & return air grille & HVAC controls. The VAV diffuser add-ons we supply include top-up heating (electric & water), occupancy sensing, airflow sensing, onboard & remote sensing (wired or remote), BMS gateways and AHU zone controllers.
