What is a commercial air curtain?
A commercial air curtain is a high-capacity airflow device installed above doorways to create a thermal barrier between interior and exterior environments. The Berner ALC08-1030W, a heated model, utilizes a hot water coil system to generate directed air streams that prevent drafts, insects, and airborne contaminants from entering. Typically installed in high-traffic entrances of restaurants, retail outlets, or hospitality venues, this unit’s precise climate separation enhances energy efficiency and maintains indoor comfort while allowing door operation without obstruction. Its durable construction and programmable settings make it suitable for moderate-volume usage scenarios demanding reliable performance.
