The Challenge

A fast-growing global technology business based in Greater Manchester needed a practical barrier for a busy site doorway used for the regular movement of goods, equipment and staff.

As the business scales its operations, doorways connecting warehouse, storage and production areas come under increasing pressure. They need to stay accessible for daily traffic, while also protecting the environment beyond them from draughts and dust that could affect stock, equipment or working conditions.

A fixed door would have slowed the flow of people and equipment through the site at a time when operational speed matters most. The customer needed a solution that gave separation and control without getting in the way of day-to-day movement.

Why PVC Strip Curtains were the right fit

For this Greater Manchester site, the priority was to combine environmental control with fast, unobstructed access at a doorway that sees growing daily traffic.

A clear 300mm x 3mm PVC strip curtain was selected for its balance of durability and flexibility.

• Temperature control: The curtain helps reduce draughts and heat loss through the doorway, supporting more stable conditions on either side.
• Dust and contamination control: The overlapping clear strips form a barrier against airborne dust and debris, helping protect equipment and stock beyond the doorway.
• Visibility and access: The clear strips allow staff to see activity on both sides before passing through, while still enabling hands-free movement for people and equipment.

The Solution Installed

Strip Curtains Direct supplied and installed a clear 300mm x 3mm PVC strip curtain across a goods access doorway at the technology company's Greater Manchester site.

The curtain was fitted at a doorway used regularly for the movement of stock and equipment, creating a barrier that supports more consistent conditions on either side without restricting the pace of daily operations.

The Result

The finished installation gave the business a practical, low-maintenance barrier suited to a fast-growing operational environment.

Key benefits included:

• Reduced draughts and more stable temperatures through the doorway
• Lower dust and debris ingress supporting cleaner working conditions
• Clear visibility between areas for safer movement
• Easy access for staff and equipment without a fixed door
• A flexible, low-maintenance solution that can adapt as the site grows
