PVC strip curtains have become a very popular product within a range of industries including warehouses, factories, and distribution centres, where there are large areas that need to be divided. PVC strip curtains are designed to partition areas in any environment, to offer an efficient and cost-effective solution to industrial sectors, logistics, schools and nurseries, cold storerooms, and more. There are a few companies that supply PVC curtains, and manufacture kits that are suitable for light, medium, or heavy-duty environments. PVC Strip is one of those companies, stocking everything from PVC rolls, welding screens, chiller blinds, and a whole lot more.
So, what are the benefits of these curtain variations?
- Clear
One of the most obvious advantages of PVC curtains is that they’re transparent. In settings where there is heavy machinery, forklifts, sharp objects, or people constantly passing through, it is necessary to have as much visibility as possible, to reduce injuries and mishaps. As PVC is clear, workers and visitors can see what is on the other side of the partitioning, reducing accidents by a considerable amount. This benefit also allows natural light to flow through, ultimately saving energy costs and lighting up darker areas of the space.
- Self-closing
This curtain type closes by itself, it is a great choice for those looking for an easy and convenient way to close their curtains as there is no need to grab a handle and do it yourself. This means that you don’t have to worry about manually closing them which can be time-consuming and cumbersome. Not only is this just way more convenient, but it minimises the chances of cold or hot air escaping, which would occur with a traditional doorway. It provides improved privacy and temperature control, plus it also prevents dust and other particles from entering the workspace through the curtains.
- Control temperatures
As mentioned above, PVC curtains are employed to maintain temperatures and are favoured for fridges and freezers for that very reason. The thick and heavy material creates a very strong barrier that reduces food spoilage and frost build-up and is therefore great for food companies or restaurant environments. PVC curtains are a great way to keep temperatures regulated in a variety of settings. They can be used in warehouses and factories to maintain cooler temperatures during the hot summer months.
- Cost-effective
PVC curtains are generally cheaper than conventional doors, as they use a lot less material. For example, a full-size mechanical steel door is going to be a lot more expensive than PVC strips – even though they do just as good of a job! Whether you are on a budget or not, these types of curtains are great, saving you on all of your energy bills.
- Low maintenance
These curtains are incredibly easy to maintain, especially if you keep to a regular cleaning routine. They are designed to withstand harsh usage, made out of robust, clear PVC that will last a long time. As they are only manufactured out of plastic, they are easy to wipe down, and they will not break down like other mechanical doors.
- Accessibility
Strip curtains are used in high-traffic areas in warehouses and factories because they are easy to pass through, whether you’re walking or driving a vehicle. This allows everyday tasks and processes to carry on as normal, without slowing down your workforce.
- Reduces contamination
The thick PVC and its self-closing advantage, reduce the amount of dust, dirt, and smoke, entering your premises, which is vital for industries involving food and other perishable products. Not only that, but it also makes working conditions a lot cleaner and hygienic, for visitors and staff who are constantly working within in the warehouse. They provide additional health and safety measures.
- Cancels out noise
When these curtains are installed, they are carefully positioned to be as close as possible. This in turn helps to reduce noise, isolating noisy areas in the workplace to improve the productivity and well-being of staff. Particularly if you install heavy-duty PVC strips, sounds can be reduced across the working spaces.
- Pests
In some industries, such as supermarkets and food production (industrial fridges/freezers), pests can cause spoilage and can be an annoyance. PVC curtains help to eliminate this problem by creating a barrier against flies, mosquitos, birds, and other insects. PVC Strip offers insect curtains and flies screens to reduce the number of pests that may enter your premises.
- Easy to replace
Although they are not easily damaged, if they do get accidentally ripped by a sharp object, or become a bit discoloured with age, they can be easily replaced. As they come in strip form, certain strips can be replaced without having to buy a whole new kit. This makes them a cost-effective and simple solution.
