Measure
We measure the opening and check wind exposure and existing heating.

The right width, air velocity and heat source are chosen.

Things to check in Lytham St Annes
Heat source
Heat pump air curtains are usually cheaper to run than electric ones.
Leased premises
If your Lytham St Annes 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.
Neighbours and noise
Outdoor units near flats — common above shops — need careful siting so noise at neighbours' windows stays low. We choose positions and quieter units with that in mind.
