Downflow Heaters and Air Curtains
Downflow heaters and air curtains are wall-mounted electric heaters that deliver warmth exactly where it's needed. A downflow heater blows warm air down from a high position, making it a popular choice for bathrooms, kitchens and en suites, while an air curtain sits above a doorway and creates a barrier of warm air that helps keep heat in and cold draughts out at shops, offices and other busy entrances.

Choosing an air curtain for your entrance
Most air curtains are mounted above the door, so the main things to check are the width of the opening, the heat output and how you want to control it. Our range includes the AirMaster WAC3 3kW over door air curtain, the ATC Welcome 3kW overdoor heater with remote control and the deXpro PTC over door heater, which offers three heat settings. For wider openings in a shop or workplace, the Eterna 3000W screen heater is another option.
If you're heating a wider commercial space, our commercial heating range includes fan heaters and radiant ceiling heaters to work alongside it.
Choosing a downflow heater for a bathroom or kitchen
Look for the features that matter most to you. Options in our range include thermostat control, such as the Hyco Zephyr 2kW, timers, such as the Dimplex FX20VE, and the AirMaster BFH2LT, which comes with a remote control and digital screen. If the heater will be fitted in a bathroom, check the IP rating, as models such as the deXpro DXDF2 (IP23) and the Dimplex FX20EIPX4IP (IPX4) are designed with moisture in mind. Always have a qualified electrician install it, as wiring regulations restrict where electrical equipment can go in a bathroom.

Frequently Asked Questions
A downflow heater is a wall-mounted fan heater that sits high on the wall and blows warm air downwards. Many are operated by a pull cord, so you get a quick boost of heat when you need it, which makes them especially popular in bathrooms. They also suit kitchens, shower rooms and en suites, where floor space is limited.
An air curtain, sometimes called a door heater or overdoor heater, blows a curtain of air across a doorway to reduce the amount of warm air escaping and cold air coming in. Heated models add warmth to that airflow, which makes them a practical choice for busy entrances such as shops, cafes, offices and reception areas. They can also help limit draughts, dust and insects at an open door, keeping conditions inside more consistent.
