Integrated solutions for modern IT and data centres
Data centres form the backbone of today’s digital world. As AI continues to accelerate, the demand for high-performance and safe facilities keeps growing. Merford provides safety doors, together with acoustic and ventilation solutions that support efficient cooling, minimise noise emissions and ensure safe, continuous operation.
Managing heat, access, airflow and noise in high-performance environments
Data centres must operate continuously under heavy load. As hardware generates more heat and requires stronger cooling, new challenges arise. Merford designs and builds systems that balance cooling efficiency with sound insulation to protect people, equipment and the surrounding environment. We also provide burglary- and fire-resistant security doors with access control, helping to safeguard critical infrastructure and maintain controlled access to sensitive areas.
Keeping systems cool and quiet
Data centres rely on continuous cooling to prevent overheating and downtime. However, powerful cooling systems generate large airflows and therefore noise. With acoustic louvres, silencers and enclosures, we create an optimal balance between airflow, pressure loss and noise reduction.
Safe and controlled access
In a data centre, continuity is critical. Burglar-resistant, fire-rated and sound-insulating doors protect equipment, data and services. They reduce the risk of unauthorised access, prevent the spread of fire and ensure a controlled, quiet environment.
Integrated acoustic and ventilation design
We combine acoustic engineering with airflow optimisation to deliver complete solutions for noise control and cooling. From soundproof enclosures to ventilation studies using CFD simulations, our in-house specialists ensure every system performs safely and efficiently.

Smart solutions that fit your industry's challanges
Answers to common questions
Our experts are here to help you find the right solution for your challenge.
AI hardware generates higher heat loads and requires more intensive cooling. This leads to higher air velocities and increased noise levels. As a result, the focus shifts from simple noise reduction to finding the right balance between airflow, pressure drop and acoustic performance. Merford designs solutions that can handle these higher demands without compromising comfort or safety.
Poorly designed solutions can increase airflow resistance. Merford designs solutions with minimal pressure drop, ensuring noise reduction does not increase energy consumption.
Many solutions are designed to accommodate stricter future requirements, for example by allowing additional attenuation without full replacement.
Solutions are designed to maintain accessibility for maintenance, including inspection hatches, removable panels, and clear service zones.
Data centres must comply with environmental regulations and in some cases require a environmental permit. Maximum noise levels often apply at the property boundary of surrounding residences. Merford provides support to ensure these limit values are met.
