What does an industrial air-barrier installation cost?

What determines the investment?

Compare the complete installed scope. An equipment-only price does not explain how the system will be mounted, connected and adjusted for your doorway.

• Opening and objective: clear width and height, vehicle clearance and the required separation task inform the design.
• Operating conditions: opening times, temperatures, wind, other open doors and existing extraction are part of the assessment.
• Installation space: positions for the fan unit, ducts and side outlet columns, together with suitable fixing points, affect the installation plan.
• Options: heated or unheated configuration, controls and impact protection need to be specified.
• Site work: access, working height, possible doorway closures and changes to existing structures need to be clarified before scheduling.

What does delivery from one team mean?

AirCurtain24 brings together technical advice, project-specific design, delivery, installation by our own installation teams and commissioning. Installation is included in our quotation, with a direct contact for your project coordination.

We have been an official arwus sales partner since 2013. arwus manufactures the system; we guide your enquiry and coordinate the technical and commercial requirements. Manufacturer support includes after-sales service and maintenance.

Clarify the building interfaces in the actual proposal: who provides the electrical supply, whether structural preparations are needed and which tasks your site must complete. Project-specific responsibilities should be stated explicitly.

A heated hall is not the same as a heated air barrier

The question of whether the hall is heated concerns the building. A heated air-barrier configuration is a separate equipment choice. A heated hall does not automatically require a heated air-barrier system.

Please describe both separately. If the equipment configuration is undecided, request advice. We assess the arrangement against the operating objective rather than selecting an option simply because the building is heated.

How can you compare quotations fairly?

Use the same doorway information and operating profile for every proposal. An installation designed for occasional opening cannot be compared directly with one intended for extended open-door periods. Electrical connection rating alone is not a measure of the suitability of the airflow design.

• Are the configuration, mounting positions and required clearances described?
• Are delivery, installation, commissioning and handover included?
• Are heating, controls and impact protection specified as required?
• Are customer-provided works and site preparations identified?
• Are electrical requirements, scheduling assumptions and after-sales responsibilities clear?

When do we assess return on investment?

For heated halls, our quotation includes an individual ROI assessment. It uses project data and stated assumptions about operation and average energy prices. The system’s electricity demand must be included; avoided heat loss alone is not a net cost saving.

Payback is a forecast under those assumptions. Different opening times or operating conditions may change the outcome. We do not provide ROI or energy-cost-saving calculations for chilled or frozen-storage applications. Those projects are assessed for their technical objective, such as temperature stability and heat or moisture ingress.

What should you send for a quotation?

Start with your contact details and a brief description. Missing dimensions or photos need not delay the initial enquiry. The following details help with the subsequent design:

• Project location, industry and number of doors.
• Approximate clear width and height; photos from inside, outside, above and beside the opening.
• Typical opening duration, frequency and vehicle movements.
• Temperatures on both sides and whether the hall is heated.
• Whether you want a heated system and impact protection, or advice on those choices.
• Your main objective, such as less draught, lower heat loss or more stable conditions.

Allow at least two working days for a quotation once the required information is available. We discuss any outstanding technical questions with you and agree the installation schedule for the individual project.
