In large shop spaces, however, heating and air-conditioning systems consume a lot of energy to maintain the desired temperature. Open entrance doors invite customers in, but at the same time offer the expensively air-conditioned air every opportunity to escape. Air walls seal these entrances invisibly and barrier-free - and make shopping a pleasant experience at any point in a shop. ## Cut off the draught Permanent draughts are a **disruptive factor and a health risk**. A solution to seal off draughts is therefore an investment in the health of employees.. > If people are to spend a long time in one place, such as a department store, food market or hardware store, an **unpleasant indoor climate** caused by draughts can make the difference between a customer taking their time or leaving the shop to order the product online. **Air walls** separate air layers and thus **prevent draughts**. They also **reduce energy costs** for cooling in summer and heating in winter, as the room air **cannot escape uncontrolled** to the outside. In this way, they create a room climate in which customers like to linger. ![Fischtheke mit Kunden](https://www.saw-airwalls.de/hs-fs/hubfs/LWT%20THEME%202023/Industrien/content-image-geruchsabschottung.jpg?width=357&height=271&name=content-image-geruchsabschottung.jpg) ## Odour separation: so that the butter doesn't end up with the fish The first air wall we designed was to **keep the smell of a fish counter away** from the rest of the market - a task that was solved efficiently and in an environmentally friendly way. Thanks to the **precise air layer separation** of air walls, odours remain where they originate. Restaurants, fish counters and perfume departments can thus invite customers to linger and **shop side by side without being disturbed by unwanted odours.** ## Adaptable to the corporate identity To ensure that air walls fit into the architectural concepts of retail shops, there are **numerous different enclosures and colours** that can be used to **adapt the look to the existing store concept**. Air walls can disappear discreetly at entrances or appear in the striking colours of a retail brand. We will be happy to explain which options can be implemented in personal discussions. ![SAW_Fächer 1EBENE_dt](https://www.saw-airwalls.de/hs-fs/hubfs/000Rebranding/CaseBooks%20Mockups/SAW_F%C3%A4cher%201EBENE_dt.webp?width=1500&height=1200&name=SAW_F%C3%A4cher%201EBENE_dt.webp) ![Icon Quote](https://www.saw-airwalls.de/hubfs/raw_assets/public/LWT%20Theme%202023/images/module-icons/icon_quote.svg) Due to the clean separation between warm and cold air, colleagues near the air wall have one of the coolest workplaces in summer and one of the warmest in winter!
