From enquiry to handover in Ashington
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 Ashington 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
Heat source
Heat pump air curtains are usually cheaper to run than electric ones.
Neighbours and noise
Outdoor units near flats — common above shops — need careful siting so noise at neighbours' windows stays low. We choose positions and quieter units with that in mind.
Sizing
The curtain should cover the full door width and reach the floor at the right velocity.
Shared buildings
In multi-let buildings, roof space, risers and plant areas are often controlled by a managing agent. We work to their permits and method-statement requirements.
