Air Curtains in Summer
Keeping out Heat, Insects and Vehicle Emissions
Air curtains are often associated with the winter season and the need to reduce heat loss through frequently opened doors. However, the need for a stable indoor climate at entrances is just as important during the summer months – and for many businesses, even more so.
For cafés, shops and other businesses with frequently opening doors, the summer months can present new challenges: warm outdoor air entering the premises, insects making their way inside, and traffic-related emissions affecting indoor air quality.

How Do Air Curtains Work in Summer?
An air curtain creates a controlled air stream at the entrance, acting as an invisible barrier between indoors and outdoors.
During the summer, an air curtain helps to:
Keep warm outdoor air out
Maintain a cooler indoor climate
Reduce the need for cooling
This contributes to a more stable and energy-efficient indoor climate, even during periods of high outdoor temperatures.
Air Curtains as Protection against Insects in Retail and Cafés
For retail, restaurant, and café businesses, temperature is only part of the equation. When doors open frequently, the risk of insects entering the premises also increases, particularly during warmer months. An air curtain at the entrance acts as a barrier, reducing the risk of flies and other insects entering the premises, even when doors are opened frequently.

Reducing the Impact of Vehicle Emissions and Air Pollution
For businesses in urban environments, entrances facing busy streets can be affected by vehicle emissions and airborne particles.
An air curtain helps reduce traffic-related air pollution entering the building, contributing to better air quality near the entrance.
Improved Indoor Climate and Customer Experience
The indoor environment influences both how long customers stay and how they perceive a business. When warm air enters, insects gather at the counter, and air quality at the entrance deteriorates, both comfort and customers’ willingness to remain on the premises are reduced.
