High-quality indoor air is essential to a healthy business. That’s why the commercial door team at Automatic Door Specialists in Waipahu, HI, has recently begun offering UVC-Aire™ installations. Learn more about how these systems purify indoor air and how they’ll benefit your business.

Why Quality Indoor Air Matters

Indoor air often contains contaminants such as dust, dust mites, insect remains, mold and mildew, pollen residue, and animal dander. Cleaning chemicals and various solvents also harm indoor air quality during use or when they off-gas.

Other contaminant sources include deteriorating asbestos, airborne viruses, fuel-burning appliances, and newly installed flooring featuring chemical additives. Outdoor pollutants can also lower indoor air quality when they enter through open windows and doors, including cigarette smoke and pesticides.

Depending on the pollutants, health effects can be immediate or develop over time. Short-term effects include nose, eye, and throat irritation as well as dizziness, fatigue, and headaches. Long-term health issues include respiratory infections and even cancer and heart disease.

How UVC-Aire Systems Work

A UVC-Aire system is installed above a commercial door and purifies the air directly beneath it with UVC lights. It comes in stand-alone and retrofit extension options to suit business owner needs.

The UVC lights are the most powerful available, operating at 253.7nm wavelengths, and kill 95.7 to 99.9% of airborne viruses. The system’s virus-killing abilities depend on the motor’s speed; however, it is capable of destroying COVID-19 pathogens.

UVC-Aire systems suit a wide variety of businesses, including those with high-traffic numbers like gyms, restaurants, retail stores, and healthcare facilities.

If a UVC-Aire system sounds ideal for your business, schedule installation with Automatic Door Specialists. The commercial door experts have American Association of Automated Door Manufacturers (AAADM) certifications and serve neighbor islands in addition to Oahu.
