How a job in Aberdeen works
Measure
We measure the opening and check wind exposure and existing heating.
Select
The right width, air velocity and heat source are chosen.

Set up
Door contacts and controls are set so it runs only when needed.
What to think about in Aberdeen
Sizing
The curtain should cover the full door width and reach the floor at the right velocity.
Leased premises
If your Aberdeen premises are leased, the landlord's written consent is usually needed for external units, wall penetrations and roof access. We provide drawings and data sheets for the request.
Controls
Door contacts stop the unit running when the door is closed.
Roof and height work
Flat roofs, high walls and atriums need the right access equipment and edge protection. We plan towers, MEWPs or scaffold before the job, not on the day.
