PVC strip curtains
PVC strip curtains for cold store doorways, processing areas and internal traffic routes, maintaining a temperature differential and limiting dust ingress while personnel and vehicles pass continuously. The selection axis is material grade: standard clear, ribbed for abrasion resistance, low-temperature, anti-insect, welding, opaque and antistatic.

Frequently asked questions
How do I choose the PVC grade?
Standard clear suits areas at ambient temperature. Low-temperature grade stays flexible in blast freezers, where standard PVC stiffens and cracks. Ribbed grade resists abrasion from frequent forklift traffic, welding grade screens arc light around welding bays, antistatic grade serves electronics areas, and anti-insect grade, usually amber, is used in food areas.
How should I choose strip width and thickness?
The taller the opening and the stronger the airflow, the wider and thicker the strips need to be so they do not blow open. Pedestrian doorways usually take narrower, thinner strips; forklift or truck openings need wider, thicker strips. Greater thickness lasts longer but feels heavier to walk through.
How much overlap should strips have?
Overlap governs sealing: more overlap holds temperature better but makes the curtain heavier and harder to pass through. Cold stores and windy external openings usually need more overlap than an indoor dust partition. To count strips, take the opening width plus the side coverage and divide by the strip pitch after deducting the overlap.
How do I measure an opening for a strip curtain?
Measure the clear width and height, adding coverage past the edges on both sides and above if the curtain is wall mounted. Strips should reach or nearly reach the floor; too long and they catch in wheels, too short and cold air escapes underneath.
Can I replace individual damaged strips instead of the whole curtain?
Yes, if the new strips match the width, thickness and hanger hole pattern of the existing rail. Measure the width and thickness of an old strip and photograph the hanger type for comparison before ordering.
How is the PVC strip curtain rail mounted?
The rail can be fixed to the wall above the opening, or under a beam or the ceiling where there is no wall face. It must be straight and rigid so the strips hang parallel without gaps between them. On forklift openings, mount it high enough that the mast cannot strike the rail.
How should PVC strip curtains be cleaned to keep them clear?
Unhook the strips from the rail and wash them in warm water with a neutral detergent, then dry them. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners, which cloud and stiffen the PVC. Regular cleaning keeps a clear view through the curtain for pedestrians and drivers, which matters for safety on forklift routes.
When should curtain strips be replaced?
Replace them when they are too cloudy to see through clearly, when torn or worn at the bottom by wheels, or when they have stiffened and no longer hang straight. In cold stores, stiffened or shrunk strips open gaps between strips and let cold air escape. Replace damaged strips as soon as they are found to keep the whole curtain sealed.
