About LWT
LWT-Airwalls is a technology company from Mönchengladbach. Since 1996, the technology leader has been developing and constructing precise air barriers that prevent different air environments from mixing in buildings and refrigerated vehicles. Doors and other passageways remain usable without barriers, but cooled or heated air does not escape from the areas where it is needed.
Airwalls are characterised by high energy efficiency and reduce the load - and thus the energy demand - of air-conditioning systems. With its patented products, LWT Airwalls helps to reduce emissions and thus makes it easier for companies to achieve their sustainability and environmental protection goals. To this end, the company conducts its own research and development, among other things together with renowned institutes.
Airwalls are used wherever rooms or vehicles need to be insulated for energy-efficient, health or cost-saving reasons, for example in retail, waste disposal companies, logistics, production plants and public buildings. Airwalls also meet the high requirements of the Federal Immission Control Act. Their effectiveness against insects and dust particles has also been scientifically confirmed.
Almost 2,000 airwall systems have already been installed and provide protection against temperature, odour, gases, dust and draughts.
Save energy with airwalls
Medium and large halls
In entrance areas under poor conditions
Reduction of loss due to convection at high temperatures (>600°C)
Customer satisfaction
Our philosophy
We find the optimal solution for every problem: cost-conscious, sustainable and reliable. The highest technical level is the criterion for component selection. Precision determines our work. These principles have made us a market-leading specialist company. Customised special solutions, reliability, sustainability and innovation are our strengths. Satisfying our customers, reducing their energy costs and thus driving their success are considered our guiding goals.
