What to think about in Gateshead
Sizing
The curtain should cover the full door width and reach the floor at the right velocity.
Leased premises
If your Gateshead 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.
Exposure
Windy entrances need more powerful units or a lobby.
Working hours
Most Gateshead businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
