OpenAire is the world’s premier designer, manufacturer and installer of unique and custom retractable roof enclosures and operable skylights.  OpenAire enclosures are found in distinctive venues around the globe including aquatic parks, health and community centers, restaurants, hotels and luxury residences.

OpenAire was founded in 1989 with a mission to create beautiful custom structures that open up to the sun, air and stars.  With standard motorized retractable roof panels that can open up to 50% of the entire roof area and exclusive custom designs that can open 100%, OpenAire facilities give visitors a fresh air experience on beautiful sunny days, and enclosed environments on cold and rainy days. 

OpenAire’s design experts work with developers, owners, architects and engineers to bring unique building visions to life from initial design to installation.  The company has over 500 projects throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, Europe, Russia and the Middle East.  Its most recent projects deliver 140’-150’ free spans made with an all-aluminum frame and technically innovative features such as curved roofs, large cupolas, ability to handle large snow loads and are made with 100% recyclable aluminum materials.  

OpenAire is currently building the world’s largest retractable aluminum-domed indoor water park in Donetsk, Ukraine.  Scheduled to open in Fall 2011, Aquatoria will be 26m / 86’ high and 85m / 278’ in diameter.  OpenAire is also building the aluminum-framed enclosure and retractable roof for Vermont’s Jay Peak ski resort.  Measuring 140’ wide, 280’ long and 43’ high at the sidewalls, it covers 40,000 square feet.
