What is a commercial air curtain
A commercial air curtain is an installed heating and airflow device designed to create a consistent air barrier across building entrances. It facilitates separation of indoor and outdoor environments by controlling airflow and temperature, thereby reducing energy loss and preventing the ingress of contaminants. The Berner ALC08-2120S architectural series model utilizes steam coil heat and dual motors to produce focused airflow for doorways up to 8 feet high in retail, hospitality, or institutional settings. It is typically mounted on walls at entrance thresholds, providing an effective solution for maintaining climate stability and operational efficiency in high-traffic commercial spaces.
