PVC strip curtains

What are PVC Strip Curtains
PVC strip curtains are a practical solution for managing airflow and environmental conditions in various settings. They consist of overlapping strips of transparent PVC material, designed to create a flexible barrier. These curtains allow for easy passage of people and vehicles while minimising the exchange of air, dust, and noise between different areas. They are an effective and cost-efficient way to separate environments without the need for rigid doors.

Key Applications and Benefits
Our PVC strip curtains are primarily used to reduce draught and maintain stable temperatures. In warehouses, they help to prevent heat loss or gain, contributing to energy efficiency. For cold storage units, they act as a thermal barrier, keeping chilled or frozen goods at optimal temperatures and reducing the load on refrigeration systems. In industrial workshops, these curtains can limit the spread of dust, fumes, and noise, improving working conditions. They are also widely used in the farming industry to separate animal housing areas or create protective barriers in open structures. Beyond temperature and draught control, they offer protection against insects and birds, and can reduce noise levels.

Customised to Your Needs
We understand that every opening is unique. That is why our PVC strip curtains can be cut precisely to your required measurements. This ensures a perfect fit and maximum effectiveness for your specific installation. Whether you need a small curtain for a doorway or a large solution for a loading bay, we provide strips in various widths and thicknesses. This customisation means you get a practical solution tailored directly to your operational requirements, avoiding unnecessary material or installation challenges.

Material Properties of PVC
All our strip curtains are made from high-quality, transparent PVC. This material is chosen for its durability and practical properties. Transparency ensures visibility, which is crucial for safety in high-traffic areas, allowing staff and vehicle operators to see what is on the other side. PVC is also resistant to impacts, making it suitable for environments with frequent movement of forklifts or other machinery. It is easy to clean and maintain, ensuring a hygienic barrier that retains its clarity and flexibility over time, even with consistent use.

Selecting the Right Curtain Thickness and Width
Choosing the correct width and thickness of your PVC strips is vital for optimal performance. Thinner strips are generally suitable for pedestrian traffic or smaller openings where light use is expected. Thicker and wider strips are more robust, ideal for larger openings, areas with heavy vehicle traffic, or locations exposed to stronger winds or significant temperature differences. Considerations should include the height and width of the opening, the type and frequency of traffic, and the environmental conditions such as indoor or outdoor exposure and specific temperature requirements like freezer applications. Our team can help guide you to the most practical choice.

Installation and Maintenance
Installing PVC strip curtains is designed to be straightforward. The strips are typically hung from a simple rail system, allowing for quick setup and adjustments. For maintenance, the PVC material is easy to wipe clean with mild soap and water, ensuring continued hygiene and transparency. Regular cleaning prevents dirt buildup and helps to prolong the lifespan of the curtains. With proper care, our PVC strip curtains provide a long-lasting and effective barrier solution, maintaining their functional properties even in demanding environments.
