ARD12-1036A Common Applications

Retail Store Main Entrances

The recessed installation provides climate control at retail entrance doors while keeping the unit hidden above the doorway. The flush ceiling mount maintains clean visual lines in stores where exposed HVAC equipment would disrupt interior design aesthetics.

Office Building Vestibule Doors

For office buildings with 10-12 foot vestibule ceilings, the ARD12 works as a vestibule alternative while remaining completely hidden. The unit meets ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2019 requirements as a vestibule replacement, which can save construction costs and floor space.

Healthcare Facility Waiting Room Entrances

In healthcare facilities, the recessed installation works at waiting area doors where maintaining air quality matters. The flush ceiling mount minimizes surfaces where dust can collect in spaces requiring regular cleaning and infection control.

Educational Institution Library and Auditorium Doors

For education facilities, the ARD12 handles main building entrance doors where the unit must blend into architectural finishes. The recessed design maintains professional aesthetics in spaces with 10-12 foot ceilings that are highly visible to students and visitors.

Restaurant Main Dining Room Entrances

In food service operations with standard ceiling heights, the recessed unit provides climate control and insect barriers at customer entrance doors. The hidden installation maintains dining room aesthetics while blocking flies and maintaining temperature separation.

Senior Living Facility Common Area Entrances

The ARD12 protects residents from drafts at common area doors in assisted living and nursing home facilities. The recessed installation maintains the residential appearance required in these spaces while providing climate separation at doorways with mid-height ceilings.
