Airflow Developments

Airflow Developments Limited is a long-established British manufacturer of ventilation equipment more GeneRally known as Airflow. Headquartered in the United Kingdom it has subsidiaries in Germany and the Czech Republic and international distributors as far apart as Norway and New Zealand.

History

Airflow was established in 1955 in the garage of its founder, Connor Wilson at his home in High Wycombe. Wilson was a fan engineer by trade and invented the first inclined Manometer to go into commercial production. The original wooden device, which measured positive, negative and differential pressure, was the forerunner of a range of air flow measuring INSTRUMENTS for HVAC applications which are still sold around the world. Industrial centrifugal fans and blowers were introduced into the manufacturing process in 1960 and they too are still sold to original equipment manufacturers for ventilation, cooling and warm air distribution purposes. In 1969 the first domestic extractor fan, the Loovent was launched. With over two million units sold to date it still forms part of the residential ventilation portfolio along with the QuietAir and iCON range of extractor fans. Introduced in 2004, iCON’s unique, patented iris shutter design remains a highly distinctive and individual product which won the European Red Dot design award in 2006. In recent years the company has developed its eco-air portfolio in line with UK government policy towards energy efficient construction products and now includes low noise, low energy fans and mechanical ventilation with heat recovery for commercial and residential buildings to meet new Building Regulations introduced in 2010.
