Does your factory need industrial plastic curtains?

Industrial plastic curtains are high-quality flexible PVC strips that withstand high traffic and guarantee long-lasting performance in your warehouse or workplace. They can be mounted on doorways where people or warehouse vehicles need to enter or exit, as there is no need for them to be pushed to one side.

Benefits of industrial plastic curtains

Installing industrial plastic curtains into your industrial workplace can bring many benefits, including:

• Helping you to maintain cleanliness and hygiene standards - most industrial workplaces suffer from dust and other contaminants. PVC strip curtains can cordon areas off, creating a barrier.
• Improving worker safety by creating clear barriers between areas while still allowing for easy movement between said areas.
• Increasing energy efficiency by keeping either heat or cold air in. Keeping the temperature stable will positively impact your energy bills - something that is important at the moment.
• Reduction in noise pollution - a reduction in noise levels within an industrial unit can reduce distraction and increase productivity, as well as positively impacting on health and safety,

Which industries could benefit from installing industrial plastic curtains?

The benefits that industrial plastic curtains can bring to a business are helpful for companies in all niches, but mainly:

• Automotive
• Food processing and packaging
• Manufacturing
• Pharmaceutical and healthcare
• Warehousing and logistics

Factors to consider when choosing industrial plastic strip curtains

There are certain things you should keep in mind when you are choosing plastic strip curtains for an industrial setting, and these include:

• The size and type of opening - for example, a small doorway dealing with people passing through would use a standard strip or roll, whereas an extra-large doorway with forklift trucks passing through would need something more substantial such as our double ribbed strips or roll.
• Environmental factors such as humidity and temperature - if the PVC strip is to be used in a cold room, it needs to be specially designed to withstand freezing temperatures and not crack.
• Material and thickness - when considering PVC strip thickness, you must also consider what will go through the door. Our 2mm strip, for example, is ideal for light traffic areas, whereas the wider 4mm strip is perfect for heavier industrial traffic.
• Colour and transparency - transparent PVC strip is the most common strip used as it allows pedestrians to see what is through the other side of the door, helping with health and safety. You can also add transparent coloured strips to your curtain for safety signals and denote the edges of doorways.
