Cold weather can often make lobby and reception areas within buildings cold.
The revolving door has become a significant choice for many architects and facilities managers due to the way they naturally help to keep out draughts and reduce energy loss within a building.
The cost saving decision to install a revolving door not only reduces monthly energy bills but it is also more eco-friendly for the environment due to the reduced amount of hot air that leaves the building with every door rotation.
On occasions when the weather is windy, cold air can sometimes become trapped within the separate compartments of a revolving door and subsequently forced into an internal area, normally the reception area.
So by combining a Boon Edam heater with a revolving door system, this cold air is negated and prevented from entering the building.
When installed, the main body of the heater unit is strategically mounted above the revolving door and using curved air outlets, creates a warm barrier around the inner opening of the doorway which counteracts any cold air infiltrating through the door.
With the option to add a heater either from new or as a retrofit, Boon Edam can ensure that a lobby area is kept at a comfortable climate at all times whilst not impacting on the aesthetics of the entry point.
In addition, each of Boon Edam's heaters are created to match the curvature of each specific revolving door type.
The company also offers a range of air curtains which can be made bespoke for all commercial, corporate or industrial requirements.
