The problem
Big spaces get hot. Pedestal fans don't cut it.
Warehouses, gyms, showrooms and marquees trap heat, and people slow down when they're cooking. Air con costs a fortune to run in open spaces, if you can install it at all. A row of drum fans is loud, kicks up dust and only cools whoever is standing right in front of it.
- Staff flagging by lunchtime
- Customers and guests cutting visits short
- Power bills climbing every summer
The Switchblade
One fan. 260 m² of breeze.
HVLS fans work like a natural breeze. Six long, slow blades push a column of air across the floor and keep it moving through the whole space. The result is cooler people, drier floors and fresher air, without the roar of a jet engine.
