The Retail Series destratification fan is expertly engineered to maintain a balanced, comfortable environment across diverse retail spaces, including challenging areas impacted by cold spillage from open chiller and freezer cabinets.
By effectively minimising temperature imbalances throughout environments, from smaller convenience stores, to large retail outlets and superstores, the Retail Series ensures a consistently pleasant atmosphere that encourages customers to browse for longer and spend more.
Leading retailers such as Morrisons, New Look, Halfords and Pets at Home, to name but a few, rely on Airius fans to enhance shopper comfort and support increased sales. Designed specifically for the demands of modern retail environments, the Retail Series helps maintain inviting shopping spaces all year round, optimising both the customer experience and store profitability.
Retail outlets often struggle with condensation and fogging that obscure products in glass-fronted display cabinets, diminishing visual appeal and hampering sales. Enhanced airflow circulation and accelerated moisture evaporation from the Retail Series destratification fan keeps display cabinets and glass cases consistently clear, preventing fogging and condensation so products always remain easily visible to shoppers.
In environments like supermarkets, this balanced airflow also improves chiller and freezer cabinet efficiency by reducing temperature differentials, allowing units to run less frequently and at lower power — all without disrupting air curtains. This also eliminates condensation, improves comfort in chilled aisles, extends product shelf life and helps dry floors and spills more quickly. Performance remains stable even in high-traffic, variable-temperature areas, supporting consistent cabinet visibility and operational efficiency throughout the trading day.
Engineered for ceiling heights up to 8 metres, the Retail Series destratification fan ensures reliable thermal destratification and even airflow circulation across all retail formats — from compact convenience stores to large-format supermarkets, showrooms and department stores. By eliminating temperature inconsistencies, it improves shopper comfort, supports efficient heating, cooling and air conditioning and enhances product presentation.
This consistent airflow performance across open or exposed ceilings keeps customers comfortable, staff productive and display areas stable year-round, while helping reduce HVAC energy use and carbon footprints. The fan's effectiveness across mid-height ceilings ensures compatibility with modern lighting grids, signage and HVAC layouts for seamless system integration.

Immediately! The moment the units are switched on, the efficiency of the building and HVAC system will start to improve, reaching their full potential once equalisation is achieved (within 48 hours depending on the size of the building).
Airius units are extremely efficient drawing a tiny electrical load. Using less than 5% of the power of some of the competing box type destratification fans. The figures below are the annual running costs based on the units running 24 hours a day 365 days a year, at an electrical cost of 22 pence per kWh.
Savings range hugely from building to building with average savings of 35%. With over 330,000 units sold we have had reported savings ranging from 20% to 76%. This is down to a number of factors, such as:
Ceiling Height:
The higher the ceiling the higher the level of savings for your property. This is due to a greater percentage of the area being overheated, leading to higher levels of stratification and in turn heat loss. The Airius units eliminate this stratification, minimising the buildings heat loss.
Insulation:
A well-insulated building will capture the maximum amount of heat at roof level leading to high levels of stratification. Airius units then equalise the temperature achieving average savings of 35% (depending on other factors).
The lower the level of insulation the higher the saving. This is due to a vastly increased level of heat loss, mainly escaping through the roof. The Airius units capture and recirculate the heat before it has the opportunity to escape.
Achieving Temperature:
If the thermostat set point is being achieved at ground level then the saving will be higher. If not then the Airius units will still reduce a building’s heating requirement.
The difference being that if the thermostat set point is not being achieved then the first part of the heat load reduction will be used to reach the thermostat set point before savings can be achieved.
Process heat/ Ambient heat
The higher the level of process heat, the higher the level of saving. Process heat is a term used for any heat produced by an internal process other than from the HVAC system. This process heat can be produced by anything from factory machinery, motors and ovens, to computer equipment, lighting and even body heat.
Ambient heat from sun light, even in winter coming through skylights, heated steel roof panels and windows will also be utilised.
This process/ambient heat rises up into the roof space and will be captured and recirculated further reducing the demand on the heating system.
The way Airius units work to reduce cooling costs is slightly different to heating. Typically in cooled spaces those people near the cooling outlet are too cold and those no more than a few metres away are too hot. People by windows can also get too hot due to solar gain and so on.
The Airius units help by equalising the temperature making sure that everyone benefits from the cooling as quickly as possible. It also helps the cool air reach thermostat set points quicker.
The Airius system also ensures that every bit of air in the building is moving very slowly. This gentle air movement across the skin creates a lower perceived temperature (evaporative cooling), allowing you to turn your thermostat up by between 2 and 4°C.
This along with the equalised temperature has proven to reduce cooling costs by anything from 20% up to 100%. This is due to the low cooling requirement in the UK. You only need to reduce the cooling load slightly to make huge savings.
Cooling Testimonials:
Bowlplex PLC
“We are very impressed with the results Airius fans have achieved in our ten pin bowling centre at Nantgarw in South Wales. The atmosphere inside has been greatly improved reducing staff & customer comfort complaints by 90%.
They have also allowed us to increase our thermostats from 19°c to 23.5°c resulting in a saving of over 70% on our cooling costs! The Airius system has far exceeded our expectations & will be standard equipment for all our 18 bowling centres in the UK.”
Ben Carne – Energy Manager
Tiso Ltd
“The Airius system was installed during the summer whilst the AC system was closed down for servicing and we were happy to find the environment now comfortable without the AC running. This has now led to the entire AC system being decommissioned with a considerable reduction in electricity consumption. We now consider destratification systems as a key part of our refits”
Iain Calder – Property Director
Stratification typically occurs at a rate of 0.5 –2ºC per metre and temperature differentials of up to 10°C are common over a height of 10 metres. In extreme cases, temperature differentials of 10°C have been found over a height of 3 metres.
The degree of stratification depends on a number of factors such as the building materials, level of insulation, activity in the building, heating/cooling set points and the outside temperature.
It is wrong to assume that if the level of stratification is at the lower end of the scale there is not much to be gained. This can be down to a number of reasons, such as:
1. The heating is off
2. Outside temperature is at or above room temperature
3. Insulation levels are so low, heat escapes before it can build up. Our most successful case studies have been from buildings like this (View Lush & Impress case studies).
In normal conditions the Airius range should equalise the temperature to within a 2°C band floor to ceiling.
