Air Curtain FAQs

What is an air curtain?

An air curtain is a device mounted above or beside a doorway or opening that creates a barrier of air. This barrier keeps conditioned indoor air inside while blocking outdoor air, insects, dust, and airborne contaminants from entering.

Why use an air curtain?

Air curtains help keep the inside air clean and comfortable despite open doorways. Air curtains can reduce energy loss through open doorways by up to 70%, reducing heating and cooling costs. They also repel most flying insects without harsh chemical sprays or physical barriers.

For facilities with strict hygiene requirements, including food service, healthcare, and cold storage, air curtains also play a critical role in contamination control and regulatory compliance.

What to consider when selecting an air curtain?

Key considerations when selecting an air curtain depend on the application; however, there are common considerations.

  • Door size: How wide and tall is the opening the air curtain will be mounted on?
  • Environment: Will the air curtain be mounted inside or outside? What are the potential temperature extremes? Will the air curtain be exposed to moisture or corrosive environments?
  • Traffic volume: How frequently will the door be opened or closed?
  • Mounting method: Will the air curtain be surface mounted, recessed, or concealed within a ceiling?
  • Heated or unheated: Will the air curtain need to be heated to provide climate control in colder climates?
  • Certifications: Are extra sanitation or similar certifications needed in food service or healthcare environments?

How do air curtains work?

An air curtain is mounted above a doorway and blows a stream of air downward across the opening. This invisible wall of air is strong enough to block outside air, insects, and contaminants from passing through, while still allowing people and equipment in and out freely.
