What is an air curtain?

A fan unit mounted above a doorway that blows a steady sheet of air down across the opening. It keeps heat, dust and insects out while the door stands open, which suits shop entrances, kitchens and service doors.

Do you install toilet extraction and fresh air?

Yes. Cold Smith designs, supplies and installs toilet extraction and fresh air, kitchen extraction and make-up air, and the ducting for them, across Cape Town and the Western Cape.

Why does extraction need a fresh-air supply?

Air taken out of a room has to be replaced, or the room is starved of air: doors are hard to open, smells linger and the extraction cannot draw. A fresh-air (make-up air) supply brings back what the extraction takes out.

Can the same team do the aircon?

Yes. Split, VRV, ducted, rooftop package and chilled-water systems are Cold Smith work too, so cooling and ventilation can be designed and installed together.

Which areas do you cover?

Cold Smith takes jobs across Cape Town and the Western Cape, from the office in Kommetjie on the South Peninsula to Noordhoek, Fish Hoek, the Southern Suburbs, the Northern Suburbs, the Helderberg, the Cape Winelands and the West Coast. Tell us where the site is when you ask for a quote.
