THE FIRST BERNER AIR CURTAIN DESIGNED FOR REVOLVING DOORS!
Berner continues to innovate and offers us an air curtain completely adapted to revolving doors. The RevolvAir has been specially designed to maximize energy savings and reduce air infiltration of buildings using turnstile gates such as hospitals, hotels and big box stores.
COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL AIR CURTAINS FOR ALL YOUR NEEDS
Air curtains are mechanical devices that create an invisible air barrier at building entrances, limiting cold air infiltration in winter, warm air in summer, as well as the intrusion of insects, dust and fumes. When properly selected and installed, an air curtain can reach up to 85% efficiency.
This technology, which has existed for over a century and has been present in North America for more than 45 years, remains largely unknown despite the significant energy savings it generates. It adapts to all types of openings, from commercial entrance doors and loading docks to hangar doors and revolving doors.
Vigmark distributes the complete Berner line, an industry leader for over 60 years, with more than 24 models available with or without integrated heating (electric, hot water, steam or gas), to meet all commercial, industrial and institutional applications across Canada.
FAQ ABOUT AIR CURTAINS
WHAT IS AN AIR CURTAIN AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
An air curtain propels a continuous, uniform airflow across an opening to create an invisible barrier between two environments. This airflow must cover the full width or height of the opening to be effective.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF AN AIR CURTAIN?
Air curtains reduce energy losses, improve occupant thermal comfort, block insects, dust and contaminants, and can reach up to 85% efficiency against air infiltration, all without any structural modification to the building.
WHEN SHOULD YOU CHOOSE A HEATED AIR CURTAIN?
A heated model is recommended in cold environments or when openings are frequent and prolonged. In the Canadian climate, it is often essential to maintain the comfort of employees and customers near entrances.
CAN AN AIR CURTAIN BE INSTALLED ON A REVOLVING DOOR?
Yes, certain models are specifically designed for revolving doors. Berner offers the RevolvAir, specially engineered to maximize energy savings and reduce air infiltration in buildings with revolving door systems such as hospitals, hotels and large retail stores.
CAN AN AIR CURTAIN BE INSTALLED IN A STORE OR RESTAURANT?
Yes, air curtains are particularly well suited to high-traffic environments. They reduce heat loss at the entrance while improving customer comfort.
HOW DO YOU MAINTAIN AN AIR CURTAIN?
Maintenance mainly consists of cleaning the air inlet grille and filters at least twice a year, or more often in dusty or corrosive environments. Berner models are equipped with self-lubricating ball bearing motors designed for 40,000 hours of continuous operation.
CAN AN AIR CURTAIN BE INSTALLED WITHOUT MAJOR CONSTRUCTION WORK?
Yes, installation requires no structural modifications to the building and no interruption to daily activities. Air curtains can be installed in both existing buildings and new construction.
