A large logistics warehouse faced significant challenges with temperature fluctuations.

A large logistics warehouse in Bristol improved comfort and temperature stability by installing Thermoscreens warehouse air curtains in its busy reception area.

To solve the issue, Thermoscreens installed three custom blue T-Series air curtains, helping stabilise indoor temperatures while complementing the building’s existing design aesthetic.

The Overview

The reception area at the logistics warehouse experiences continuous traffic throughout the day, with employees and visitors regularly entering and exiting the building. Frequent door openings exposed the space to external weather conditions, leading to uncomfortable cold drafts and inconsistent temperatures.

The business needed a solution that could improve comfort levels, reduce heat loss, and support better energy efficiency without compromising the appearance of the reception area.

The Challenge

Maintaining a stable indoor climate in a high-traffic entrance area proved challenging, particularly during colder periods. The constant movement through the reception entrance allowed significant volumes of cold air to enter the building, creating noticeable temperature fluctuations throughout the day.

Alongside affecting employee and visitor comfort, the unstable temperatures were also increasing the heating demand placed on the building’s HVAC system.

The customer required a solution that would:

• Minimise temperature fluctuations
• Improve comfort for staff and visitors
• Reduce energy loss and heating demand
• Integrate seamlessly with the reception area aesthetic

The Solution

Thermoscreens supplied and installed three T-Series air curtains above the main entrance points within the reception area. Designed to create an effective thermal barrier between indoor and outdoor environments, the units help prevent cold external air entering the building while retaining conditioned indoor air.

To align with the visual design of the space, the air curtains were custom manufactured in a blue finish that complemented the existing reception area colour scheme.

The units were strategically positioned to maximise coverage across the entrance points and ensure optimal performance during periods of heavy foot traffic.

The Installation

The installation process was completed smoothly and efficiently, with the air curtains mounted directly above the reception entrances.

Once operational, the units immediately began creating an invisible barrier across the doorway openings, significantly reducing the ingress of cold external air and minimising heat loss from inside the building.

The Results

The impact of the installation was noticeable almost immediately.

The reception area maintained a far more consistent temperature, creating a significantly more comfortable environment for both employees and visitors. Staff reported a clear improvement in indoor comfort levels, particularly during colder weather conditions.

By reducing the amount of heated air escaping through the entrances, the air curtains also helped lower the heating demand placed on the building, supporting improved energy efficiency and reduced operating costs.

Following the success of the project, the company is now exploring opportunities to expand the use of air curtains into other areas of the warehouse to further enhance climate control and energy performance.

Conclusion

The installation of Thermoscreens T-Series air curtains provided an effective and visually integrated solution for managing temperature fluctuations within this busy logistics environment.

By improving comfort, reducing heat loss, and supporting energy efficiency, the project demonstrates how air curtains can deliver measurable operational benefits in high-traffic commercial spaces — while still complementing the overall aesthetic of the building.
