How we work in Kelso

Set up
Door contacts and controls are set so it runs only when needed.
Local points to consider
Exposure
Windy entrances need more powerful units or a lobby.
Leased premises
If your Kelso 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.
Sizing
The curtain should cover the full door width and reach the floor at the right velocity.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Kelso are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
