Air Curtain Selection Guide

Choosing The Right Air Curtain For You

Mars Air Door manufactures the right air curtain for your specific applications. To gain the most benefit possible from your air curtain, you need to consider several important factors:

1. Determine if your installation is commercial (i.e. offices, supermarkets, restaurants, hospitals, drive-thru settings) or industrial (i.e. warehouses, manufacturing plants, transportation terminals, police and fire stations).
    
2. Determine your primary need for an Air Curtain:
   • Environmental separation (keeping dirt, dust and pollutants out!)
   • Temperature control (keeping temperature controlled environments separate.)
   • Fly and insect control (for sanitary requirements or anywhere else where flying insects are a problem.)
    
3. Determine the door openings location: Exterior door (separation of the inside of your building from outside elements) or… interior, for example separating two indoor areas such as: offices from warehouses…cold storage from work areas, paint booths from production areas, etc.
    
4. What is your door height and width?
    
5. Make your selection regarding your need for a heated or unheated air curtain. Most of our units offer both. Always feel free to call our Customer Service Department for friendly and knowledgeable assistance. Our job is to create the air curtain that’s right for you!
