Things to check in Chatham
Sizing
The curtain should cover the full door width and reach the floor at the right velocity.
Leased premises
If your Chatham 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.
Heat source
Heat pump air curtains are usually cheaper to run than electric ones.
Working hours
Most Chatham businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
