What Is a Specialty Air Curtain?
Specialty air curtains are custom-engineered systems designed for non-standard operating conditions, offering ultra-low noise, corrosion-resistant materials, high static pressure, and slim profiles. They are ideal for facilities requiring precise airflow performance, architectural flexibility, and enhanced filtration or safety standards.
Our specialized lineup includes:
- ETD (Extra Thin Design) – Minimal-profile air curtains for boutiques, luxury retail, and glass storefronts.
- SHE (Sanitation Hood Enclosure) – Provides seamless protection for food preparation and healthcare environments.
- SHA (Slim Heated Application) – Compact design with effective air separation and optional heating for tight clearances.
- HXP (Hazardous Location Rated) – Explosion-proof models for flammable vapor or particle environments.
