PLEASE READ this document prior to

components and tools you require at the
various stages.
The primary reason for installing an air curtain is
to prevent the influx of cold outside air through a
door opening into a heated area. Typical
applications include large despatch bay doors in
factories and warehouses, and internal doors
between areas of different temperatures. Wider
door openings can be accommodated by bolting
two or more units together.
Air curtains control the internal climate by
emitting an air stream with enough velocity to
meet the floor so creating an air barrier in the
door area. To prevent the ingress of outside
draughts, the discharge louvre is angled
outwards, so that the air leaving the building
meets the wind trying to enter, thus deflecting it.
(See diagrams below).
Airbloc air curtains provide uniform air
distribution across the full width of the door,
keeping heated or conditioned air inside the
building and stopping the ingress of cold air,
draughts, and dust.
This manual provides detailed information on
the installation of Airbloc air curtains. It is
essential that these products are installed in
accordance with these manufacturers
instructions.
