From enquiry to handover in Alloa
Measure
We measure the opening and check wind exposure and existing heating.
Select
The right width, air velocity and heat source are chosen.
Install
The unit is mounted and connected to power, water or refrigerant. In Alloa we agree timings around your opening hours.
Set up
Door contacts and controls are set so it runs only when needed.
Local points to consider
Sizing
The curtain should cover the full door width and reach the floor at the right velocity.
Leased premises
If your Alloa 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.
Working hours
Most Alloa businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
