What Is a Commercial Air Curtain?

A commercial air curtain, or air door, is a device mounted above a doorway that uses a controlled stream of air to create an invisible barrier between indoor and outdoor environments. This barrier helps to prevent outdoor air, dust, fumes, and flying insects from entering the building while allowing unobstructed access for foot traffic or rolling carts.

The system activates when the door opens, releasing a high-velocity, downward airstream across the full width of the opening. It keeps interior air in and exterior air out, reducing the energy load on HVAC systems and helping maintain a consistent indoor temperature.
