What is an Air Curtain or Air Door?
Air Curtains or Air Doors (the terms are used interchangeably) are the mechanical units used to create air foils across entrance doors when the physical doors are open. Air curtains effectively block the entry of cold dry winter air and hot humid summer air. By doing this, air curtains conserve energy and protect the building environment and occupants all year long. Effective Air Curtains therefore provide protection against the elements when the doors are opened temporarily to let people and materials enter and exit, as they must do. Air Curtains and Air Doors complement the thermal protection of building insulation by mitigating the loss of insulation continuity each time a door is opened.
