New 18kW Commercial Air Curtains

Keeping large commercial entrances comfortable can be a challenge. Frequent foot traffic, automatic doors and wide entranceways all contribute to heat loss, creating uncomfortable draughts for customers and staff while increasing heating costs. To meet the demands of larger commercial premises, BN Thermic has expanded its air curtain range with the introduction of the CAH-180 18kW Commercial Air Curtain. Designed and hand assembled in the UK, the CAH-180 combines high heating performance with robust construction, providing an effective solution for protecting busy entrances and improving energy efficiency.

Designed for Large Commercial Entrances

Not every entrance can be effectively protected by a standard overdoor heater. Wider doorways require greater airflow and higher heat output to create an effective barrier between indoor and outdoor environments. At over 2 metres in length and delivering 18kW of heating power, the CAH-180 has been developed specifically for larger commercial doorways where smaller units may struggle to maintain comfortable conditions. By producing a powerful stream of conditioned air across the entrance, the unit helps reduce cold draughts while limiting the escape of heated air from the building.

Helping Reduce Heat Loss

Air curtains play an important role in improving the energy efficiency of commercial buildings. Rather than acting as a physical barrier, they create an invisible curtain of air across an open doorway, helping to separate indoor and outdoor environments.

The benefits include:

• Reduced heat loss through frequently used entrances.
• Improved comfort for customers and employees.
• Fewer cold draughts in reception and entrance areas.
• More consistent indoor temperatures.
• Reduced workload on the building’s heating system.

For buildings with constantly opening doors, an effective air curtain can make a significant difference to both comfort and running costs.

Built for Long-Term Reliability

The CAH-180 is hand assembled in the UK, ensuring high manufacturing standards and dependable performance. Designed for commercial environments, the unit has been engineered to provide years of reliable, low-maintenance operation, making it an excellent investment for busy buildings where heating equipment needs to perform day after day.

Ideal Applications

The CAH-180 is suitable for a wide range of larger commercial premises, including:

• Hotel entrances and foyers
• Office reception areas
• Restaurants
• Retail stores and shopping centres
• Public buildings
• Leisure facilities
• Commercial showrooms

Where large entrance doors create significant heat loss, the CAH-180 provides an effective and professional solution.

Choosing the Right Air Curtain

Selecting the correct air curtain depends on several factors, including doorway width, mounting height, traffic levels and the level of protection required. The introduction of the CAH-180 gives specifiers and installers another option for larger commercial entrances where higher performance is essential. Whether you’re designing a new building or upgrading an existing entrance, choosing the right air curtain can improve comfort, reduce energy consumption and create a more welcoming environment for everyone entering the building.
