How it works in Blackpool
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 Blackpool we agree timings around your opening hours.
Set up
Door contacts and controls are set so it runs only when needed.
Before you book in Blackpool
Sizing
The curtain should cover the full door width and reach the floor at the right velocity.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Blackpool often come down to access — loading restrictions, parking for the van and getting equipment onto a roof. We check this at survey and plan deliveries around it.
Heat source
Heat pump air curtains are usually cheaper to run than electric ones.
Leased premises
If your Blackpool 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.
Premises we work in around Blackpool
- Warehouses and industrial: cooling for offices, mezzanines, control rooms and temperature-sensitive areas.
- Retail and shops: comfortable shop floors, stockrooms and entrances, even with the door open.
- Restaurants and cafés: dining rooms that stay comfortable next to a hot kitchen and a busy service.
Compliance in England: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).
