Air Curtains for Bars

When it comes to bars, environment and ambiance are key factors in their success. A bar where people come to relax and socialize isn’t going to keep customers coming back and staying longer if the atmosphere is less than ideal. And the more time and energy spent on inefficient operations in this fast-paced industry is money left on the table.

Bars face unique challenges when it comes to keeping their customers and employees comfortable, their environment welcoming, and making sure efficiency is also a top priority, including:

• Maintaining indoor comfort
• Overspending on energy and operation costs
• Preserving a sanitary and safe environment
• Keeping cigarette smoke, flying insects, and debris out

For bars, these difficulties could make or break a business and that’s where Berner air curtains for bars can help.

Benefits of Air Doors for Bars

Air doors, also known as fly fans, for bars create an invisible “wall” by sending a controlled stream of air across an opening such as a main entrance, service or kitchen door, or even a walk-in cooler. This barrier separates different environments while not obstructing the flow of foot traffic through the openings.

How does this help bars?

• Increases overall customer satisfaction by improving indoor air quality and thermal comfort, making for a more satisfying experience and atmosphere
• Energy savings: the high foot traffic that bars see both in the front of house at main entrances and the back of house at kitchen doors can cause inflated energy costs by making the HVAC system work extra hard to maintain the indoor temperature. The barrier created by an air curtain reduces this added strain by keeping the outdoor weather, out, starting right at the door
• Higher sanitation: Berner has EPH Certified to NSF 37 air curtains specifically designed for kitchen and service entryways, and air curtains in general are FDA and USDA recommended for all exterior doors for chemical-free flying insect control
• Safer environments – Air curtains, as part of how they function, de-stratify and circulate the room air, increasing the indoor air quality (IAQ) of the space.
• Air curtains over walk-in cooler entrances offer a more sanitary and effective solution to plastic strip doors by providing better maintenance of the cooler’s interior temperature, which, in turn, creates less food waste and reduces compressor run times which lowers energy costs. Using air curtains also reduces the touch points and additional cleaning of vinyl strip doors.
• Protect against outside contaminants: due to the very social element of bars, patrons often enter and exit multiple times, causing the infiltration of fumes, such as cigarette smoke, along with flying insects and debris. Air curtains help to keep these contaminants out and improve IAQ
