As a restaurant owner, we understand your customers are your priority! That is why we want to help keep your customers comfortable and have the best experience when dining with you. Installing a commercial air curtain in your restaurant can support a comfortable environment, keep debris and pests out, save money and overall provide a better experience for your customers. Air curtains are placed over the door to create a powerful air seal to keep conditioned air in the building while keeping dirt and debris out!
During the cold months, air curtains disrupt the natural convection effect of warm air spilling out of an open doorway and being replaced by incoming cold air. Air curtains during the hot summer days as well, keeping the cool air inside, as doors open and close. This means that your customers can be comfortable sitting anywhere in your restaurant, even right by the door!
2. Reduces Energy Costs
Air curtains create an invisible door that prevents the inflow of external air and restricts outflow of indoor air, protecting inside temperatures in the dining room, bar, or walk-in cooler. This will give your heating and cooling system a break, along with your wallet!
3. Promotes a Clean Environment
Air curtains promote a healthy and hygienic environment in a restaurant by restricting flying insects and other pollutants such as pollen, dust, and fumes from traffic. This is because they are designed to create an effective seal by re-circulating facility air in a smooth flow across an open doorway, making it harder for outside air to penetrate the air curtain.
4. Reduces Strain on Existing HVAC Systems
If your HVAC system is working to stay at a set temperature, but traffic is steady, this can cause a lot of extra strain on your equipment. Adding an air curtain could increase the lifespan and functionality of your current heating system, as you will not be over working your equipment!
5. Reduces Employee Turnover
Ensuring your employees are motivated and happy is extremely important in the restaurant industry. You want to take care of your employees, so they can take the best care of your customers! Installing air curtains will certainly control the temperature along with keeping the service entry, kitchen, and the back-of-the-house areas clean and fume-free.
6. Promotes Flow of Traffic
An open door is an inviting gesture that substantially improves the inflow of customers. Installing air curtains will promote a faster inflow of traffic into your restaurant while keeping indoor temperatures in control.
