How a job in Glasgow works
Measure
We measure the opening and check wind exposure and existing heating. For sites in Glasgow we confirm access and parking beforehand.
Select
The right width, air velocity and heat source are chosen.
Install
The unit is mounted and connected to power, water or refrigerant.
Set up
Door contacts and controls are set so it runs only when needed.
What to think about in Glasgow
Exposure
Windy entrances need more powerful units or a lobby.
Leased premises
If your Glasgow 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.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Glasgow 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.
Types of premises we cover in Glasgow
- 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.
Two rules matter for most businesses in Scotland: GB F-gas rules (leak checks from 5 tonnes CO2e) and the periodic energy inspection for systems of 12 kW or more.

Do air curtains really work?
Yes, when they are sized and set up correctly for the door and its exposure. They significantly reduce heat exchange through an open door.
Will it keep insects out?
An air curtain can help discourage flying insects, but it is not a substitute for proper insect screening where hygiene rules require it.
