The fly problem
Flies at the door? They're not just a nuisance - they're a health code violation waiting to happen.
Every time your front door opens, flies, gnats, and mosquitoes follow customers inside. And every time the kitchen service door opens, they get another direct path into food prep and service areas. They land on tables. They hover around food. By the time someone grabs the swatter, the damage is already done — whether that's a lost appetite, a customer complaint, or a one-star review.
A Berner air curtain creates an invisible wall of high-velocity air across your entrance openings. Flying insects hit the airflow and stay outside, while customers, staff, and deliveries move freely through the door.
It works during peak summer insect season and delivers protection year-round at both front entrances and kitchen service doors. The result is a cleaner, more comfortable environment with fewer pest-control issues, better protection for foodservice operations, and a better guest experience.

Energy & comfort
Hot kitchen? Cold dining room? Your doors are the leak.
Every minute your door is propped open for delivery drivers, bussers, or rush-hour guests, your AC or heat is pouring out. Customers complain about drafts. Cooks complain about heat. And your energy bill keeps climbing.
A Berner air curtain seals your entrance with airflow - not glass, not strip plastic. Customers walk through unobstructed. Conditioned air stays inside.
Most restaurants see a noticeable drop in energy costs once their air curtain is installed and running through a full season.

Frequently asked
Frequently asked Questions About Air Curtains
A Berner air curtain is a quote-driven purchase, not a fixed price; what you'll pay depends on door width, whether you need a heated unit, and your local installer. But here's the honest math: most restaurants we work with see the unit pay for itself in 12 to 18 months through lower HVAC bills alone. Before that, you've also stopped paying for replacement strip curtains, lost food from temperature swings, and the staff hours spent fighting flies. We'll send you a real number for your specific door, no obligation, no sales pressure.
