Air Curtain Installation London
Elevate Your Entrance Experience with Professional Air Curtain Installation
At ACL London we specialise in the design, supply, and installation of high‑performance air curtains that protect your building, enhance comfort, and reduce energy costs. Whether you operate a retail store, a restaurant, a hospital, a warehouse, or any commercial facility, a correctly installed air curtain is a silent guardian – keeping unwanted drafts, dust, insects, and pollutants out while allowing customers and staff to move freely through your doors.
Our team combines years of engineering expertise with an in‑depth knowledge of the leading air‑curtain manufacturers. By partnering with world‑class brands such as Berner, TMI, Franz, Air Movement, Daikin, and Mitsubishi Electric, we deliver solutions that are both technically robust and aesthetically suited to any entrance architecture.
Why an Air Curtain is a Smart Investment
| Benefit | What It Means for You |
|---|---|
| Energy Efficiency | A properly sized air curtain creates a thermal barrier that reduces heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer, cutting HVAC demand by up to 30 %. |
| Improved Indoor Air Quality | High‑velocity air streams block dust, pollen, and insects, helping you meet health and safety standards without compromising ventilation. |
| Customer Comfort | Guests experience a consistent indoor climate from the moment they step inside, which translates into longer dwell times and higher sales. |
| Compliance & Safety | Many building codes and fire‑safety regulations require air curtains in certain facilities. Our installations meet BSI, ISO, and local fire‑safety requirements. |
| Durability & Low Maintenance | Premium units from Berner, TMI and Franz are built for continuous operation, with service intervals that can be as long as 12 months. |
These benefits are realised only when the air curtain is correctly specified, positioned, and calibrated – a process we handle from start to finish.
Our Installation Process – Precision at Every Step
- Site Survey & Requirements Analysis
A qualified ACL London engineer visits your premises to assess doorway dimensions, traffic volume, surrounding architecture, and HVAC layout. We also discuss your climate‑control goals, security needs, and aesthetic preferences. - Tailored Specification
Using the data gathered, we develop a detailed specification that matches the appropriate brand and model to your exact requirements. For high‑traffic retail entrances we often recommend the Berner BCA‑Series for its low noise and sleek profile. For industrial loading bays, the TMI Heavy‑Duty Series provides the power and durability needed to withstand harsh conditions. - Engineering & Design Integration
Our CAD team creates a 3‑D visualisation showing the air curtain’s placement relative to the door frame, lighting, and signage. This ensures there are no clashes with existing building services and that the unit complements the overall design language. - Permitting & Compliance Review
We prepare all necessary documentation for building control and fire‑safety officers, guaranteeing a smooth approval process. - Professional Installation
Certified technicians mount the unit using industry‑approved brackets, route power and control wiring, and integrate the curtain with your building management system (BMS) where required. All connections are tested to meet British Standards (BS EN 13241‑1). - Commissioning & Calibration
The curtain is powered up, airflow velocity is measured, and the control set‑points are fine‑tuned to achieve optimal temperature separation. We also programme any optional features such as motion sensors, remote control, or IoT monitoring. - Training & Handover
Your facilities team receives a comprehensive briefing on operation, routine maintenance, and troubleshooting. We provide a full service manual, warranty paperwork, and a digital copy of the as‑built schematics. - After‑Sales Support
ACL London offers a proactive maintenance contract that includes annual inspections, cleaning of the air‑foil, and software updates for smart‑connected units. Our 24/7 technical hotline ensures you are never left in the cold.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I know which size air curtain is right for my doorway?
A: Our engineers calculate the required airflow based on door width, height, opening speed, and the temperature differential between inside and outside. The result is a size‑matched unit that provides the exact barrier needed without over‑consumption of energy.
Q: Will an air curtain affect my existing heating or cooling system?
A: When correctly installed, an air curtain reduces the load on your HVAC system. It works in concert with your existing equipment, not against it, and can be programmed to adjust automatically based on real‑time temperature data.
Q: Are air curtains noisy?
A: Modern units—especially the Berner BCA‑Series and Franz Silent‑Air models—operate at sound levels as low as 45 dB, which is comparable to a quiet office environment. Proper installation and regular cleaning keep noise to a minimum.
Q: Can I control the air curtain remotely?
A: Yes. Most of our recommended units feature IoT‑ready controllers that can be linked to your building management system, smartphone app, or third‑party automation platforms. This allows scheduling, real‑time monitoring, and energy reporting.
Q: What maintenance does an air curtain require?
A: Routine maintenance includes cleaning the air‑foil and filter (if equipped) and checking the motor and sensor alignment. With ACL London’s maintenance contract, we handle all servicing, so your curtain stays at peak performance year after year.
