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