What is a commercial air curtain?
A commercial air curtain is an airflow device designed to create a barrier of high-velocity air over doorways, preventing the transfer of air, dust, insects, and contaminants between indoor and outdoor environments. Installed in commercial kitchens, retail entrances, or foodservice facilities like the Berner ALC08-1060E_240/60/3 Architectural Series Low Profile Air Curtain, it supports indoor climate control by maintaining consistent temperatures and reducing energy costs. These units are typically mounted above doorways, operate continuously, and feature electric heating or fan systems for reliable performance in moderate-traffic areas, making them suitable for protecting food storage, preparation zones, or customer entry points in busy foodservice operations.
