CREATE A HEALTHY HOME

Air quality is an important component of healthy living and essential to a comfortable home environment. Air circulation plays an important role in reducing the build-up of air pollutants like carbon dioxide (CO2) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in our homes. These pollutants can lead to respiratory illnesses, poor sleep and breathing disorders. The VanAir Ventilated Door promotes air circulation to help create healthier spaces.

VENTILATION IN MODERN ARCHITECTURE

Today’s offices are designed with greater emphasis on ventilation and balanced airflow movement from the supply to exhaust. A balanced system reduces the burden on the ventilation system and diminishes leakage or infiltration across the building envelope.

Traditional engineering and design principles demand room-to-room ventilation within the wall system, transom or even the door itself. Commonly accepted practices include undercutting doors, overhead ducting or utilizing cluttered surface-mounted grilles and louvers to promote air circulation, but invariably lose the battle of design aesthetics and sound privacy.

WHY THE VERTICAL VENTILATED DOOR

INDOOR AIR QUALITY

Good indoor air quality is essential to a comfortable home and healthy living. Air circulation plays an important role in reducing air pollutants like CO2 in our homes, which can lead to respiratory illnesses, poor sleep and breathing disorders.

DOOR INNOVATION

Architects face the challenge of creating comfortable spaces supplied with fresh air separated from external noise. The Ventilated Door uses an integrated channel running through the door to move air from either side enhancing both performance and style.

INDOOR POLLUTANTS AND CARBON DIOXIDE BUILD-UP

As humans, we breathe oxygen in the air and exhale CO2 as a by-product. We spend most of our time indoors in our homes and at work. As a result, the CO2 we produce can build up to an uncomfortable level if there is not adequate air circulation. CO2 in excess can affect our respiratory health and lead to sleep and breathing disorders.

Ventilated Doors provide an airflow pathway to allow air circulation in bedrooms with or without mechanical systems. This helps to reduce the number of contaminants in the air and reduces the build-up of CO2. Ventilated Doors have been shown to reduce the CO2 build-up of one occupant sleeping at night by 20% compared to a regular door with standard ventilation.

RELATIVE HUMIDITY

Managing humidity in your home is important for the health of your family and the longevity of the living space.

Activities like showering and cooking release large amounts of water vapor into the air. Water vapor condenses into liquid droplets on surfaces around your home, especially on cold and out-of-sight corners. The build-up of water droplets creates the ideal conditions for mold, mildew and rot.

Installing a Ventilated Door in the bathroom provides additional make-up air to the room, allowing the exhaust fan to work more effectively. The Ventilated Door reduces humidity by up to 20% after a shower and returns to original levels immediately compared to a standard door.

HOW IT WORKS

Airflow and sound privacy are key components of a comfortable indoor environment, and often they are negatively correlated – the more airflow, the higher the chance of sound permeation.  In response, engineers have created a door with a sound absorbing interior channel running horizontally across the door, where top-to-bottom vertical access points allow pressurized air to move from one side of the door to the other.

Holistically designed to improve Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) performance and maintain sound privacy, the flush ventilation slots outperform acoustically baffled door/wall grilles. It is a cohesive, single-source unit, engineered, tested and fabricated for full structural integrity.

Ventilation pathways are notorious for transmitting sound. However, the Ventilated Door features acoustical baffles and Helmholtz resonator constructions tuned to attenuate specific frequencies, providing you with the privacy you would expect with the door closed.
