How do industrial air curtains work?
An industrial air curtain provides a sustainable solution for heating, ventilation and cooling of large areas and workspaces. Our air curtains work by providing an invisible barrier against the incoming air which reduces the amount of warm or cold air which escapes from the building.
As well as being an energy efficient solution to HVAC, they are designed primarily to enhance comfort ensuring that optimal working temperatures are maintained, and the goods are not disrupted by incorrect temperatures.
Warehouse.
Warehouses and distribution centres are large open spaces with multiple entry and exit points to keep goods moving seamlessly. However, these open access points bring more than just efficiency—they allow cold outdoor air to stream inside.
This can lead to disruptive draughts, which pose challenges such as:
- Compromised climate control for temperature-sensitive goods.
- Smaller particles, like swarf, being blown around, increasing the risk of injury.
- Uncomfortably cold working conditions that dampen productivity and morale.
The Solution: The IP2 Air Curtain.
To help combat these issues, the Thermoscreens team has developed the
IP2 air curtain, and here’s how it works:
- Efficient Climate Separation: Keeps the cold air out and the warm air in, safeguarding goods and maintaining a comfortable workspace.
- Innovative Automation: Equipped with a contact switch, the IP2 air curtain activates automatically when the door opens, increasing thermal output as needed. When the door closes, airflow and thermal output adjust to save energy.
- Customisable Settings: A time-delay switch fine-tunes operation, ensuring optimal performance based on door usage frequency.
With its sturdy design, technical innovation, and minimal maintenance needs, the IP2 air curtain offers outstanding energy savings while creating a safer, more comfortable environment for your team.
Reducing Gas Bills.
We understand that warehousing and industrial spaces can be gas-intensive, especially during the colder months when heating systems have to work harder to maintain a comfortable temperature. Installing an IP2 air curtain creates an effective barrier between the cold outdoor environment and the indoor space.
This means your existing heating system won’t have to work as hard to maintain a consistent temperature. The result?
- Significant reductions in gas bills, helping you save on energy costs.
- Improved employee comfort, ensuring a productive and pleasant working environment all year round.

“The units we installed at Birmingham this week. We really enjoyed installing your units and would like to use them moving forward with the other stores.”
- Installer, Restaurant in Birmingham
“The new air curtains in the freezer room have completely eliminated any ice and frost build up around the room, including the evaporators. As the main reason for cold room failure, this will undoubtedly help to reduce costly downtime, stock loss and maintenance calls.”
