Cooling for theatres and cinemas: FAQs

Why are coolers important in theatres and cinemas?

As a cinema or theatre, you accommodate potentially hundreds of guests for multiple hours at a time. To keep conditions comfortable during this period, dedicated cooling solutions are vital, as they:

  • Safeguard the enjoyment and happiness of guests in attendance

  • Protect your performers, staff and customers from heat-related illness

  • Provide equipment protection against high temperatures

  • Contribute to lower long-term maintenance and repair costs

  • Keep the food and drink you sell in prime condition

As a trusted manufacturer with decades of expertise in leisure and recreation climate control, talk to our team about acquiring the right theatre and cinema cooling for your complex.

What types of air coolers can be used in theatres and cinemas?

Depending on the size and layout of your buildings, fixed and mobile evaporative cooling units can help people inside stay cool. Portable air-conditioning systems can also be positioned to spot cool hot zones in your spaces.

Get in touch for more information about purchasing professional coolers that suit your site.

Can coolers protect equipment in theatres and cinemas?

Yes. With targeted cooling technology in place, you can prevent projectors, sound equipment, stage lights and other kinds of systems from overheating or breaking down entirely. In doing so, you lay the foundation for better guest experiences and lower long-term running costs.

Do you sell energy-efficient coolers for theatres and cinemas?

Yes, our wide range of energy-saving coolers set the benchmark for economical climate control.

Combining decades of expertise, high-quality components and a steadfast commitment to European engineering, our solutions enable theatres and cinemas worldwide to achieve better comfort and make meaningful savings.

Do portable coolers make noise, and can they disturb a cinema or theatre audience?

Yes, some portable coolers do make noise. Whether or not this is loud enough to detract from a performance or screening depends on what units you have in place, where they are installed, and the noise levels inside.

If you need help finding the right quiet operation coolers, speak to our experts about your specific requirements.

When should portable coolers be used in theatres and cinemas?

You might choose to deploy a portable cooler in your theatre or cinema if:

  • Your venue’s main temperature control solution is out of action

  • Your site needs additional cooling during peak periods or heatwaves

  • Your premises only require spot cooling in certain zones

  • Your building is too small to fit a larger fixed evaporative cooling unit

  • You operate out of a historic building and cannot install dedicated coolers

  • You need to keep specific equipment or performers backstage cool

Are portable coolers suitable for backstage areas in theatres?

Yes. Thanks to their lightweight design and flexibility, portable coolers can easily adapt to the ever-changing needs of a theatre’s backstage areas.

Can evaporative cooling units improve air circulation in theatres?

Yes – as well as helping your sites stay cool, fixed evaporative cooling units can also provide ventilation in your theatres. When clean outdoor air is circulated indoors, this creates more breathable environments for your customers, staff and performers.

Can I buy your cooling solutions for theatres and cinemas online?

We don’t make our temperature control systems available to purchase online to ensure that every system we design, manufacture and supply fits your exact requirements. By taking a consultative approach with a highly-trained expert, we make sure that you are only recommended equipment that meets your needs – and fulfils these in the most efficient, cost-effective way possible.

Across all of our products, VAT-registered companies can get a quote very quickly by pressing 'I want to buy' and inserting your enquiry and contact details.

How soon can you supply your air coolers to my theatre or cinema?

This varies on a case-by-case basis. For some standard products, accessories and consumables, we can provide day-to-day delivery. For larger orders or more bespoke air coolers, there may be a longer lead time.

By reaching out to our experts we can put you in touch with your nearest local supplier so you can receive the products you require in the most timely manner possible.

No. Dantherm Group’s wide range of air coolers are sold only to industry professionals directly from our offices, or via our extensive network of distributors.
