A smarter approach to entrance control
AirDoor is a standalone, tailor-made solution that integrates seamlessly around most commercial doorways.
It’s a sensor‑controlled, intelligent airflow system that actively responds to changing conditions at the entrance.
By controlling air movement at the entrance, AirDoor limits unwanted outside air entering and helps maintain stable internal conditions.
By creating a controlled air barrier at supermarket entrances, AirDoor limits wind, rain and cold draughts entering the store, helping maintain stable front‑of‑store conditions and shopper and staff comfort despite constant footfall and changing outdoor weather.
By controlling airflow at busy supermarket entrances, AirDoor reduces energy waste and heating demand, helping existing building systems operate more efficiently while delivering lower energy and operating costs and using significantly less energy than traditional overdoor heaters.
AirDoor enables an energy‑efficient open‑door approach by removing inefficient overdoor heaters and the need to keep doors closed, creating comfortable, welcoming entrances that increase usable retail space, protect front-of-store products and support footfall and uninterrupted trading.

Our flagship, high-performance entrance solution
AirDoor integrates seamlessly around most commercial openings, creating an invisible, active air barrier that keeps entrances open and welcoming while reducing infiltration and energy loss.
Our solution for entrances with overhead space constraints
AirDoor Lite creates the same active air barrier as AirDoor, but in a pillar design, ideal for buildings where architectural constraints limit the use of an overhead crossbeam.
Our solution for temperature-controlled spaces
AirDoor Curve is specifically designed for adjoining indoor spaces that need different temperatures, where its unique twisted pillars keep hot and cold zones separate.

AirDoor for supermarkets reduces cold draughts, temperature fluctuations and weather-related infiltration at entrances. This creates a more comfortable and welcoming environment, helping improve the overall shopping experience, as well as reducing energy usage and increasing usable space.
Yes. AirDoor is designed for high-footfall environments, delivering consistent performance even with open doors, continuous door openings and heavy customer flow throughout the day.
Traditional air curtains often struggle in supermarket environments due to constant footfall and permanently open doors, and overdoor heaters are noisy, costly to run and can be inefficient. AirDoor is specifically engineered for these conditions with a smart control strategy ensuring the fans ramp up and down according to the outside conditions ensuring optimum performance and efficiency.
No. While AirDoor for supermarkets is ideal for main entrances, it can also be used at loading bays, service doors and internal openings where temperature control and air separation are critical to maintaining store performance.
AirDoor prevents heated air escaping through constantly open doors. By reducing energy loss and lowering demand on internal HVAC systems, it helps supermarkets improve efficiency and significantly reduce ongoing operating costs.
