An air curtain creates an invisible barrier between two areas of differing environmental conditions without hindering the movement of people or vehicles, thus saving energy, time and money.
-
SAVING ENERGY, MONEY & TIME
An air curtain is designed to generate a continuous air stream with sufficient volume and speed between areas of differing environmental conditions, therefore limiting the transfer of air between openings, which leads to net energy reductions.
BENEFITS:
Limit energy loss from conditioned areas.
Increase building efficiency.
Reduce carbon emissions.
Aid the campaign for a sustainable planet.
Decrease product wastage.
Reduce overall running costs.
Save time at frequently used openings.

HEALTH & PRODUCTIVITY
Indoor air pollution is often overlooked, however it can cause serious damage to your health. It’s the indoor pollutants that are likely to get people sick, causing symptoms such as fatigue, headaches, shortness of breath, hypersensitivity to allergies, sinus congestion, dizziness and nausea.
BENEFITS:
Resistance to airborne dust, pollutants, fumes, odours and insects.
Enhance building sanitation levels.
Recover stratified air - which equalises temperature layers throughout the space.
Reduce employee absenteeism.
Maintain a clean indoor atmosphere.
-
FLOOR SPACE & SAFETY
Air curtains are especially effective where an opening is frequently used for operational purposes as they increase productivity and floor space, improve vision and reduce the risk of an accident occurring in the workplace.
BENEFITS:
Unrestricted vision around openings.
Prevent freezing in cold storage units.
Additional floor space.
Improve employee efficiency.
Reduce condensation in and around cold storage areas.
More aesthetically appealing than plastic strip doors or high-speed doors.
Decrease door maintenance costs.

DIMENSIONS
Selecting the correct air curtain for the type and size of doorway is extremely important to ensure optimum efficiency, comfort and performance.
The air velocity needs to match the height of the doorway so the air flow is still producing the necessary output at ground level for the higher archways or not to powerful in the lower archways which will be uncomfortable for people passing through.
The air curtain must cover the whole opening of the doorway with a small over lap.
All our air curtains can be installed in a modular way to form a consistent shield to ensure the entire width of the doorway is covered.
SITE GEOGRAPHY & BUILDING DESIGN
Consider the following factors when selecting an air curtain as they can significantly affect the efficiency of the unit:
Strong prevailing winds
Seasonal outdoor conditions
Other doorways on opposite sides of the building
Is the unit installed outdoor or indoor
Multi-storey building
PRESENCE OF OBSTRUCTIONS
Check for obstructions around the opening where you are going to install the air curtain.
The noise of the air curtain depends on several factors including the size of the space, the motor, installation height and the number of air curtains together.
All our air curtains can be installed in a modular way to form a consistent shield to ensure the entire width of the doorway is covered.
