Data Center Aisle Containment

Why Aisle Containment Matters

Optimized airflow is essential for both performance and energy efficiency in data centers. Containment systems reduce the load on HVAC systems by directing cold air where it's needed and isolating hot air from recirculating. This approach can lower cooling costs by up to 30% while extending the life of expensive IT equipment. Containment also contributes to a safer, more comfortable environment for personnel working in the space.

Unlike rigid systems made of metal or glass, plastic solutions offer enhanced clarity, lighter weight, easier installation, and improved thermal performance. Our materials meet stringent flame and smoke resistance standards, critical for protecting assets in the event of an emergency.

Material Options for Data Center Containment

Multiwall Polycarbonate Panels

Ideal for cold aisle roofs or wall panels. Offers high insulation, flame resistance, and privacy with excellent light transmission. Available options that meet ASTM E84 Class "A" for smoke resistance, making them perfect for mission-critical environments.

LEXAN™ 9600 FR Polycarbonate

Fire-resistant and virtually unbreakable with high optical clarity. Lightweight and formable makes it ideal for sliding doors, rigid panels, and precision enclosures. This premium material provides maximum safety and performance for high-value installations.

Monolithic Polycarbonate

Single layer sheet with exceptional clarity and impact strength. Ideal for visibility panels or full clear wall systems where maximum transparency is required for equipment monitoring and inspection.

Clear PVC Solutions

Durable and chemically resistant, often used in flexible strip curtains or modular flap systems. High clarity and fire resistance at a more economical price point, perfect for budget-conscious retrofits.

Benefits of Plastic Aisle Containment

Whether you're outfitting a new facility or retrofitting an existing setup, our plastic containment solutions are engineered for fast installation, reliable performance, and complete flexibility in design. The lightweight nature of our materials makes them easy to handle and install with standard hand tools, while their thermal properties help maintain optimal server operating temperatures.

Our clear PVC and polycarbonate materials can be cut, bent, or formed to fit any rack configuration or ceiling height. This customization capability makes them ideal for existing facilities that need containment solutions without full reconfiguration.
