Warehousing and Large-Scale Retail

Warehouses, distribution centers, and large-scale retail have unique building characteristics that require addressing when looking at ventilation, air movement, indoor air quality (IAQ), humidity control, heating and cooling, and equipment installation.

Ventilation

High ceilings with large open spaces, large exterior doors that create an opportunity for exposure to weather conditions, and energy costs to maintain large buildings are all factors in determining the best solutions for ventilation and air movement within the varied spaces.

Manage Airflow & Minimize Energy Costs

Dampers are designed to keep the environment comfortable for employees so they can stay productive and to regulate the temperature to maintain product quality.

Control dampers regulate airflow through duct work by opening and closing their blades. This simple action can serve many purposes, such as directing airflow to a specific part of the building or for mixing hot and cold air streams for air conditioning.

Weather louvers protect the outside opening in a building’s exterior walls. These louvers may be used for exhaust or intake air. Weather louvers offer extra protection in more demanding applications where weather situations, such as high wind or heavy rain exist. These louvers allow for air ventilation while protecting from unwanted elements.

Gravity vents provide natural ventilation. Metal Form’s gravity intake & relief ventilators feature a low silhouette design that operate on the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the building.

Roof Curbs

Roof curbs are designed to:

• Securely attach mechanical equipment to a roof.
• Provide a stable platform for rooftop installations.

Having continuously welded roof curbs provide durability and strength. Options include flat, single, or double pitch configurations. 

Additionally, custom design and manufacturing of heavy gauge equipment curbs is available to meet specific acoustical and structural requirements.
