What is a commercial air curtain?
A commercial air curtain is a mechanical device that produces a controlled flow of air across an opening, such as a doorway, to prevent the exchange of air between different climate zones. Installed in retail, hospitality, or foodservice environments, it helps maintain internal temperature, humidity, and air quality. The Berner ALC08-1072A_120/60/1 features a 72-inch air outlet with a low-profile design, suitable for shallow installation, ensuring minimal architectural impact while supporting moderate traffic through doorways up to 8 feet high. Its durable aluminum construction and digital control system make it an ideal solution for climate separation in restaurant entryways or store front entrances, contributing to operational efficiency and occupant comfort.
