Flexible PVC is the only suitable material to use for strip curtains because of its strong thermal and acoustic insulation. Its flexibility and ease of movement allows effortless passage and the transparent clear strip gives you a clear view through the opening .
What are PVC Strip Curtains?
PVC Strip Curtains are basically flexible, plastic industrial door systems used in commercial and industrial situations. Because they are made out of PVC strips which hand from a suspension rail they are very flexible and durable and they provide an excellent solution to reducing heat loss in buildings where vehicle and pedestrian movement results in large doors often left open for long periods of time.
Hung on a rail, overlapping PVC strips act like a wall to segregate two working areas. Their flexibility and their movement on the rail allow them to be passed through with ease by people or vehicles.
Where are PVC Strip Curtains Used?
PVC Strip Curtains can be used on any clear opening that requires strong insulation (temperature, noise, dust and draughts) where ease of passage is a concern. They can be used over any opening for example windows, pedestrian or vehicle doors or as partition walls. Typically they are used in manufacturing, storage or warehouse situations where large areas are temperature controlled in some way or where areas are separated but still need to allow pedestrian or vehicle access. PVC Strip Curtains can also be used in data centres where the production of excessive heat is removed from a working area (usually by using air conditioners) and they are used for there thermal qualities. They are also an ideal solution in applications such as food storage or food manufacture where they can act as an extra line of defence against pest control. The simple action of them automatically closing as soon as a vehicle or person has passed through them reduces the risk of vermin simply walking, or flying into a food storage area.
Why use PVC Strip Curtains

PVC Strip Curtains are also an excellent solution if you are looking to keep an area cooler or warmer than the outside temperature due to their excellent thermal qualities.
