The Greenwood Story since 1879

In 2001 Greenwood took a very bold step with their product portfolio and launched the 'Environmental Range' - a collection of whole house ventilation systems including central extract and heat recovery - one of the very first manufacturers in the UK to do so. This brand new range came with the strap line 'improve the living environment' and transformed the brand, message and direction of the company, focusing much more on people and lifestyle and on applying ventilation metholdogy to achieve whole house ventilation rates, rather than prescriptive room based extract fan applications.

As a core part of this environmental launch and transformation, Greenwood developed deeper relationships with clients and specifiers by extending their services to include design and consultation. This saw the launch of the AutoCAD Design Service allowing customers to send in plans and drawings and ventilation designs to be created including where to fix the unit and where to run ducting.

This design service is still very much a fundamental part of our service to customers today and, with Guaranteed Installed Performance (GIP) at the forefront of people's mind, continues to add value to clients, specifiers and installers alike.

Following the revision of the Building Regulations and the introduction of performance based, whole house ventilation, Greenwood launched the first ever dMEV solution to the new build market - a brand new continuously running, low energy , constant volume fan which revolved around one concept - a single solution for the bathroom and kitchen.

Greenwood were the first ventilation manufacturers to invent the dMEV fan. Unity CV100 was the very first fan to challenge the existing design of extractor fans, introducing a discreet fascia plate, rather than an open louvered grille. Since the invention of Unity CV100 back in 2003, we have launched the the next generation CV2 and now our first ever contact less fan the Unity CV3.
