The Benefits

Comfort: Air curtains help promote the perfect environment whether warm or cool - creating a comfortable climate for customers and employees.

Energy Saving: Air curtains installed over open doors promote significant energy savings compared to those without air curtains.

Health and Safety: In climate controlled applications, Thermoscreens air curtains will significantly reduce the ingress of warm moist air when doors are required to be left open for loading and unloading or patio relaxation; retaining the climate controlled air inside and keep at bay the external air temperature.

Ease of Installation: An air door is a simple and cost-effective solution for a comfortable environment. Air curtains are both easy to install and maintain throughout their long serviceable life.


Installation

It is important to ensure that the width of the air curtains’ discharge is wider than the width of the door on which it is to be installed. By overlapping the full opening, the air curtain controls the ingress of air and other pollutants along the sides of the barrier and so maintains the perfect environment.

Installation

If an air curtain is to operate to maximum effectiveness, it is essential that the air curtain have sufficient air velocity to discharge over the whole height and width of the doorway. Consequently the air barrier will act to prevent uncomfortable draughts.
