The hangar problem
Almost all of the volume is above the work. Warm air rises into a roof space taller than most buildings and stays there. Destratification through balanced air distribution recirculates that heat back to floor level — so you heat the working zone, not the void.
The door is the size of the weather. When the hangar door opens, conventional systems start again from cold. Ours are designed for recovery — air induction and distribution that re-establishes uniform conditions across the full volume without ductwork strung through the airspace, holding temperature within ±1.0°C once recovered.
Nothing at high level to maintain. No fans above the aircraft, no plant needing a platform in the middle of the floor. In a building where access equipment competes with airframes for space, that matters more than it sounds.
We've heated aircraft hangars — including RAF aircraft hangars — and the full physics of these spaces is on our large venues and hangars page. Names like Bombardier and Rolls-Royce appear on our project and client lists for good reason: aerospace buildings reward engineering and expose guesswork.
Aerospace production: precision, not just power
Production and component environments are a different discipline — smaller volumes, tighter rules. Our advanced controls deliver precision temperature control to ±0.25°C where the process demands it, with multi-zone coordination so machining, assembly and storage each hold their own conditions. We've delivered more than 25 production-facility installations, and every one started with what the process needed rather than what the catalogue offered.
Designed with evidence, not optimism
Buildings this size don't forgive design errors, so we don't design on instinct. CFD performance modelling proves the air distribution before anything is manufactured — you see how the space behaves before you commit to the system that conditions it. Then performance is verified on site before handover. In a hangar, "it should work" is not a specification.
