Backed by 160 years of manufacturing expertise and American-made reliability, our solutions help you meet sourcing demands and critical build schedules—without compromising design or performance.​

What is Aisle Containment?

Aisle containment is a critical airflow management strategy that separates cold supply air from hot exhaust air within a data center. This separation ensures:

  • Consistent intake temperatures for servers and electronics
  • Reduced risk of equipment overheating
  • Improved cooling efficiency
  • Lower Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE)

Depending on your facility’s layout, COOL SHIELD Aisle Containment Solutions offered by Armstrong offers both Hot Aisle Containment (HAC) and Cold Aisle Containment (CAC) systems to suit new builds or retrofit environments.
