It is often believed that the investment of air curtains is more advisable in the establishments of large commercial brands or extensive industrial plants. But the reality is quite different. Installing an air curtain is a smart investment for commercial, hospitality or industrial facilities of any size.

Firstly, there is an air curtain for every need. The development of these devices has been Airtècnics' speciality for more than 35 years. And today we can boast of offering the widest range of different models and applications. From commercial air curtains for small shops with the most exclusive design (such as the TOP model), to industrial air curtains for insect-proofing or cold rooms, to air curtains with air hygiene stages (OH and Kleenfan technology).

Knowing the need to save energy not only for economic but also environmental reasons, today we explain the main reasons to invest in an air curtain for your business.

Energy efficiency

The main function of an air curtain is to separate an indoor and an outdoor environment with an invisible barrier. In this way, the air conditioning system is not forced to work at maximum performance to maintain thermal comfort. This reduces energy consumption and electricity bill costs.

Environmental impact

Air curtains help reduce the carbon footprint by improving the energy efficiency of the building. In addition, they can help in obtaining sustainability certificates.

Thermal comfort

In the absence of air exchange between spaces, air curtains improve people's comfort. In establishments where the flow of people is continuous, it is a very important advantage to be considered.

Access and circulation safety

In places with heavy pedestrian or vehicular traffic, such as shopping malls and warehouses, doors can remain open without compromising internal temperature and security, facilitating access and improving the customer experience.

Improved customer experience

In retail environments, air curtains can enhance the customer experience by creating a more comfortable and cleaner environment. This can translate into increased customer satisfaction and loyalty, as well as a possible increase in sales due to the "open door" effect.

Reduced pollution and improved indoor air quality

Air curtains also keep out dust, pollen, smoke, smoke, odours and other outdoor air pollutants. This improves indoor air quality, creating a healthier environment for employees and customers. Airtècnics also has air curtain models with specific air purification and sanitization systems for this function.

Pest control

In food and pharmaceutical industries, Airtècnics' pest control air curtains help to guarantee the hygiene of indoor spaces. Thanks to their specific engineering, Airtècnics' anti-insect air curtains help to ensure the hygiene of indoor spaces.

Longer life of air conditioning equipment

By reducing the workload of the air conditioning system, air curtains can extend the life of air conditioning equipment, reducing the need for frequent repairs and replacements.

Easy installation and maintenance

One reason to invest in air curtains is also their ease of installation and maintenance. They do not require major construction work or time-consuming maintenance. And once installed, they do not require extensive maintenance beyond keeping the suction grilles clean. However, there are great benefits to be gained.

Regulatory compliance

There are countries where it is mandatory to install air curtains to ensure compliance with energy efficiency or food safety regulations. In such cases, it becomes a necessity to comply with the law.

Amortization

The investment of installing an air curtain is amortized by the savings in energy costs and maintenance of the air conditioning system. They also improve comfort and indoor air quality. All this leads to a relatively quick return on investment, which can be studied according to the specific characteristics of the project.

Tailor-made projects

One of the main characteristics of Airtècnics is the high adaptability of the projects to the customer's needs. Our air curtain models adapt to any type of access, from small stores to large warehouses and distribution centers. This versatility allows their use in a wide range of industries and applications.
