At Thermoscreens, we understand that not all shops, retail units, or outlets are the same. A properly installed and efficient air curtain can significantly benefit any business by reducing heat loss through open doors and lowering energy costs.
Why Choose Air Curtains for Front-of-House Shop Environments?
Here are just some of the advantages that a front-of-house air curtain can offer retailers:
Increase Customer Satisfaction and Retention.
Air curtains create a comfortable and consistent indoor climate, so your customers can feel at ease while browsing or waiting at the checkout. They also help keep out insects, dust, wind, and moisture, maintaining a clean and pleasant environment.
Reduce Energy Costs
Thermoscreens’ air curtains prevent warm or cool air from escaping through open doorways, reducing the energy needed to maintain indoor temperatures. This increased climate control helps contribute to lower energy bills and a more cost-effective operation.
Reduce Employee Turnover and Complaints
A comfortable workplace leads to happier employees. The way air curtains keep entrances, staff areas, and loading docks free from cold drafts, pollutants, and fumes helps to improve satisfaction and productivity.
Save Space with Flexible Installation
Thermoscreens’ air curtains can be surface-mounted for quick and easy installation or recessed to save valuable space. Recessed units sit behind walls or ceilings, with only the outlet grille visible. These versatile options can be mounted horizontally or vertically, to suit any retail layout.

Why Choose the CS Air Curtains for Supermarkets?
Unlike traditional options like insulated doors or PVC strip curtains, the CS Air Curtain offers supermarkets:
- Superior climate separation.
- Minimal maintenance requirements.
- Long-term, consistent performance.
This innovative solution combines efficiency, sustainability, and safety, making it the better choice for modern supermarket operations.
Goodbye Strip Curtains, Hello Enhanced Safety and Savings
Traditional PVC strip curtains often fall short in maintaining reliable climate separation and can hinder the smooth movement of goods and staff. The CS Air Curtain provides a barrier-free alternative that:
- Maintains consistent internal temperatures.
- Minimises frost formation.
- Reduces defrost cycles and associated maintenance needs.
By enhancing visibility and facilitating smooth operations, the CS Air Curtain addresses both safety and productivity challenges.
Smart Climate Control
The CS Air Curtain uses thermal imaging-tested technology to create a distinct separation between internal cold air and external warm air. This ensures refrigerated areas remain at the required temperatures, protecting perishable goods and reducing unnecessary energy consumption.
The graph below shows the cold store after the air curtain was installed. As illustrated, the temperature rose significantly when the fan was off and the door was open, shown in orange. When the air curtain fans were switched on, the temperature remained stable, with less than a three-degree difference even while the door was open.
Sustainability and Environmental Benefits
Modern supermarkets prioritise sustainability, and the CS Air Curtain supports these efforts by:
- Minimising energy use and carbon emissions.
- Reducing the frequency of defrost cycles.
- Eliminating plastic waste from PVC strip curtains.
By implementing this solution, supermarkets can achieve annual energy savings of up to £15,472 and reduce CO₂ emissions by 23,322kg, delivering both financial and environmental benefits.
