Before you book in Newbury
Sizing
The curtain should cover the full door width and reach the floor at the right velocity.
Leased premises
If your Newbury 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.
Controls
Door contacts stop the unit running when the door is closed.
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.
