About Dual Draft LLC
Dual Draft Integrated Airflow was developed and patented by Integrated Hydro Solutions (IHS) after the founders, Greg and Leigh, witnessed firsthand the impact of drainage and microclimates in a family members indoor cultivation facility in California. Speaking with the team, they were told that drainage and microclimates in this newly built vertical farm were negatively impacting the economic viability of the operation.
With decades of experience in engineering and manufacturing, Greg and Leigh knew that they could design a solution to these problems. Starting with the design of a fully-draining plant tray, they then realized the value of integrating the airflow to the tray allowing for over-canopy and under-canopy airflow, and Dual Draft was born. in 2023, IHS was acquired by Warbird Capital LLC and Dual Draft LLC was created.
Dual Draft LLC conducts final manufacturing and assembly of our products in the USA.
