10 best thermal curtains on the front door

The greatest heat loss in a heated building occurs through the entrance doors. This is especially noticeable in shops or workshops, where a large flow of visitors is observed during the day. The problem can be solved by installing a thermal curtain over the entrance door. It is a device that produces a directional flow of warm air from top to bottom (less often from one side to the other). As a result, a dense barrier is formed for the penetration of cold air from the street. Today there are many different models on the Russian market. To choose the most effective device for each specific case, you should listen to the recommendations of our experts.

How to choose a thermal curtain on the front door

1. Sizes of a thermal veil. One of the main criteria when choosing a thermal device is to determine the dimensions. The main one is the width. Maximum protection is provided by thermal curtains, the dimensions of which are equal to or greater than the width of the doorway. For single entrance doors, an instrument width of 800–1000 mm will be sufficient; for stores and workshops, this value should be in the range of 1500–2000 mm. If the doorway significantly exceeds the width of the heat curtain, it is recommended to install two devices on the same line.
2. Performance. The thermal curtain is not intended for long-term heating. Her task is to create a short-term powerful stream of warm air. Therefore, the device must have high performance (maximum air exchange). As a starting point for the calculation of this indicator, a simple ratio will do. On a doorway with a height of 2 m and a width of 1 m, air circulation of about 800 cubic meters per hour is needed. This is the maximum rate, which implies frequent opening of entrance doors and low outside air temperature.
3. Type of coolant. Gas, water and electricity can be used as a heat carrier.
4. Gas models have high efficiency (95-98%). They work on propane-butane mixture and are suitable for large rooms. The main disadvantage of such devices is the high price.
5. Rarely enough consumers use heat curtains with water heat exchanger. On the one hand, a low-cost project is obtained in operation, since hot water is taken from the heating system. At the same time, installation is much more complicated, but what is even worse, the effectiveness of the curtain will depend entirely on the temperature of the water in the heating network.
6. The most popular with Russian consumers have become electric models. They are easy to install, easy to manage, affordable. In addition, the devices are absolutely safe and have an increased service life.
7. Control. Although electric curtains are easy to operate, the height factor should be considered. If you include a heat curtain required a couple of times a day, then you can use a high chair or stepladder.Someone will reach without additional supports, if the mounting height is 2.0-2.5 m. In case of frequent on / off, preference should be given to products with a control panel. Experts include useful options to adjust the temperature, speed and angle of the air flow. The most advanced models are equipped with sensors that react not only to the opening of the door, but also to the speed of movement of external air masses.
