What Makes Get a Reno Different

Most general contractors treat aisle containment as a simple framing job. They underestimate the thermal engineering, fire suppression system coordination, and airflow management precision required for mission-critical data center environments, where containment acts as a physical barrier between airstreams.

Get a Reno is built differently:

• Specialized Data Center Experience – With over 15 years focused exclusively on data center containment, our teams understand that effective aisle containment requires proper installation to control airflow. Contractors specializing in aisle containment should have data center experience and technical expertise, and that is exactly what Get a Reno delivers on every project.

• Freestanding Installation Expertise – Our containment frames don't depend on ceiling modifications or raised floors. Aisle containment framing comprises vertical frames and overhead panels that stand independently, making retrofit installations faster and less disruptive. Containment framing needs to be compatible with the existing data center infrastructure, and our freestanding approach ensures compatibility across facility types and broader data center construction requirements for retrofit and new-build environments.

• Integrated Systems Approach – Get a Reno combines framing, cable trays, power routing, aisle end doors, and containment panels into a single coordinated project, including managed hot air pathways to avoid recirculation. Aisle containment systems often involve a combination of modular and custom components, and our integrated methodology eliminates the gaps and miscommunication that plague multi-vendor installations.

How Our Installation Process Works

1. Site Assessment & Design Get a Reno begins with a comprehensive on-site evaluation of your existing infrastructure, including thermal mapping, load calculations, ceiling height constraints, and overhead obstructions. Site assessments are necessary to design custom aisle containment solutions that fit specific layouts. We identify every air leakage path-cable cut-outs, missing blanking panels, floor tile gaps-and engineer custom containment frame specifications that address them. Sealing gaps around server racks is necessary to enhance the performance of aisle containment, and our design process accounts for every potential leak.

2. Rapid Deployment Installation Our crews assemble modular frames with integrated cable pathways and containment panels during your scheduled maintenance windows. Aisle containment framing supports components like doors and panels used in containment systems, and our rapid deployment methodology minimizes live operation disruption. Effective coordination with fire protection systems is critical during containment installation, and Get a Reno manages fire suppression system integration as part of every build. When the project scope calls for a fire-rated containment material, cool shield is one option we can incorporate. Aluminum framing is lighter than steel for easier handling, offers a stronger strength-to-weight ratio than steel, and improves thermal conductivity in aisle containment systems-making it our preferred material for most retrofit projects.

3. Performance Verification After installation, Get a Reno deploys temperature monitoring, differential pressure sensors, and airflow testing to document the energy savings achieved. Airflow management directly affects the efficiency of cooling systems in data centers, and our verification process confirms that supply temperature setpoints can be raised safely, cold supply airflow reaches server inlets uniformly, and hot exhaust air returns efficiently to cooling units. Proper containment maintains server inlet temperatures within 2°F, and we measure to prove it.
