About us

We’re on a mission to reimagine what’s possible at the building entrance.

AirDoor was developed to solve a persistent challenge in commercial buildings: uncontrolled air movement at open entrances and the energy, comfort and operational issues that result. Traditional solutions often rely on heat or physical barriers, treating the symptoms rather than the cause.

Invented by Wirth Research, experts in computational fluid dynamics (CFD), AirDoor takes a fundamentally different approach, using aerodynamic principles and real-world data to actively control infiltration rather than react to it.

Today, AirDoor is manufactured and delivered by VES, a British family‑owned ventilation specialist with over 55 years of experience, enabling the technology to move from theory to reliable performance in real buildings.

A smarter approach to entrance control

AirDoor is a standalone, tailor-made solution that integrates seamlessly around most commercial doorways.

It’s a sensor‑controlled, intelligent airflow system that actively responds to changing conditions at the entrance.

By controlling air movement at the entrance, AirDoor limits unwanted outside air entering and helps maintain stable internal conditions.

Award-winning British Engineering

Precision is Paramount

Every element of AirDoor is engineered with intention. From airflow modelling to sensor logic, precision underpins reliability, performance and trust. We give organisations the confidence to push towards ambitious net-zero targets.

Disruptive Engineering

Continually evolving, AirDoor challenges outdated systems and embraces better ways to control indoor environments – simpler, smarter, and more effective. We’re not afraid to rethink the “standard” to reimagine the future of entrances.

Sustainable by Design

Energy performance isn’t an optional benefit. Sustainability guides how we design, test and refine every product so each new install moves a building closer to a low-carbon future. It’s the foundation of why we do what we do.

Human
first

People are always the priority. Comfort and wellbeing shape how the technology was designed. Buildings should feel good to be in, for staff working long shifts and customers walking in from the street.

Innovation that Endures

We design with innovation at our core and build with longevity in mind. AirDoor is built to stand up to modern standards and changing expectations. As buildings, climates and regulations evolve, so do we.

Responsibility in Action

Our work supports better buildings and choices for the environment. We see sustainability as a responsibility we act on, not a slogan we talk about. Every project is an opportunity for impactful change.
