Server rooms are vital in today's world, as they house computer systems and their associated components, such as data storage and telecommunications systems. Server rooms also house backup features in case of system failure and various security devices.
Having all this computer equipment in one place means there is a tendency towards dust formation and static discharge - which could be disastrous. Any temperature increase could cause the hardware to overheat, leading to data loss and system lockups. Also, there is an increased risk of fire, which could cause permanent damage.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) occurs when static electricity is released when two objects come into contact. This could occur because of people moving about the server room, poor connections between the hardware housed there, or an electric short, for example. The result can be devastating if an ESD spark occurs in a server aisle or rack. Expensive, high-powered servers and other equipment can be permanently damaged, even by a small ESD voltage.
What are anti-static plastic curtains?
The range of anti-static plastic curtains available at Strip Curtains Direct is made from transparent, green-tinted vinyl containing an anti-static additive. They are designed for use in server rooms, server environments, electronic manufacturing plants, and workshops (i.e., "clean rooms").
Antistatic PVC curtains are semi-flexible and can be used for airflow management in the aforementioned commercial premises. Suitable for pedestrian or light-vehicle use, they offer an excellent barrier against noise and air pollution and are an effective temperature-control device.
Available as a kit in various widths or as a bulk roll, we also offer our anti-static PVC as a replacement strip, enabling you to easily maintain your curtain.
We can also offer our anti-static curtains as a made-to-measure order so that you can customise the kit to your specific airflow requirements and dimensions.
How do anti-static PVC curtains help with airflow?
As mentioned above, even the smallest electrical discharge can damage critical components in your server room. The frightening thing is these charges can build up over time and may not be noticeable from day to day - until it has got to the point where they could damage your servers.
To fully protect your server room, you should therefore use anti-static PVC curtains, which provide high resistance to static build-up. These curtains can help prevent large-scale damage to your servers, making them a cost-saving investment in the long run. If you use PVC curtains in your server room, they need to be anti-static ones designed to last for a long time.
