The Manchester City Women's Training Ground is a state-of-the art facility built to support elite athletes in a world-class environment. As part of ongoing improvements, attention turned to the reception area – a critical first point of contact for staff, players, and visitors. The goal was clear: create a space that not only reflects the club's professional standards, but delivers a genuinely comfortable and welcoming atmosphere for all who enter. Following a trusted colleague's recommendation and an established relationship with Biddle's sales team, the decision was made to specify the DoorFlow 2 air curtain for this installation.

SOLUTION
To address the drafts and temperature fluctuations in the reception area, Biddle proposed the DoorFlow 2 air curtain. Selected for its ability to create a powerful, efficient air barrier, the DoorFlow 2 maintains a stable indoor climate and significantly reduces energy loss caused by frequent door openings. Its sleek, minimalist design makes it the ideal choice for environments where visual integration is as important as technical performance. The unit's compact form and clean lines allow it to blend seamlessly into the reception's contemporary architecture, while its robust engineering ensures it can meet the demands of a busy, high-profile facility.
The entrance to a building sets the tone for everything that follows. It must be welcoming, comfortable and efficient. Biddle's air curtains deliver effective climate separation at doorways, preventing the escape of conditioned air and blocking cold draughts.
