Ruskin Air Management Limited Brands:

Three decades of the highest quality manufacture have proved that Actionair dampers save lives.

Certified life safety is the ultimate motivation behind our ongoing research, development and testing programmes. Creating innovative yet proven products whose preliminary task is to protect buildings but whose ultimate test is to save lives is the definitive engineering challenge that Actionair identifies within all its aspects.

As market leader in the UK manufacture of fire, smoke and air control products, including a full range of dampers and fan coil units with airside and waterside control, we have successfully fulfilled this daunting brief without faltering once in our 36-year history. Not only does every single one of our products meet the latest European standards and regulations, the depth of research and testing that goes into its design and manufacture ensures that the great majority exceed those legislative demands.

Actionair products now serve HVAC systems throughout the world in major building projects, industrial and tunnel applications on land and at sea with marine dampers that satisfy the 1999 Marine Equipment Directive now recognised as the mandatory life-saving standard in Europe and the USA.

Specialist skills combining manufacturing experience with practical expertise deliver creative air solutions that flawlessly match any application challenge.

In almost forty years we have created an unparalleled product portfolio that competes worldwide on quality, price and application and can be rapidly supplied in keeping with an impressive 94.4% on-time delivery record.

From ceiling swirl diffusers and square or rectangular louvre face diffusers to perforated face diffusers. From high induction slot and standard slot to fixed blade, cylinder jet and jet nozzle diffusers. From panel floor grilles, floor swirl diffusers and roll-out floor grilles to linear bar grilles, curved blade ceiling grilles and single or double deflection grilles. From egg-crate grilles, non-vision grille and external louvres to pressure relief flaps, the list is only limited by your individual specification. And the “home office approved” security grille range.

The secret of matching the right equipment to the right application by drawing on our huge market knowledge is something architects, consultants and contractors continue to value project after project. Once again, as a leading UK manufacturer of air terminal devices, our continual emphasis on research, development and extensive testing enables a new product stream that continually raises the efficiency bar to meet the escalating demands of this ever-changing market.



There are some in the industry who will suggest that what you ask for is impossible. It has always been our privilege to prove so many of them wrong.

Unlike most UK louvre companies, we design, draw, supply and install so that not only do we match your requirements precisely in terms of function but also in style, finish and colour, allowing architects and designers to create a pleasing architectural feature as well as ventilation or screening control within the external cladding.

Since the early sixties we have followed this customer-first philosophy from our original glass louvres through to the standard and high performance metal louvres, sunscreens and natural ventilation equipment that led to the introduction of our very latest double-glazed systems, which have been adopted in many of the new schools projects.

This confident can-do approach also pioneered the practical software program on our website that takes the hassle out of sizing louvres and gives customers a welcome opportunity to forget about things like face, jet or core velocities and free areas. This customer-friendly program does it all, reflecting our own unique stance in the marketplace.

It’s this user-friendly approach that characterises Naco’s problem-solving capacity in combating the challenges of modern building design in its equally determined search for new ideas and initiatives.
