Installing PVC strip curtains may seem simple, but proper installation is crucial to ensure performance, energy efficiency, and durability. In demanding environments like warehouses and cold rooms, getting it right the first time is essential.
In this guide, we’ll explain what professional PVC strip curtain installation involves, when it’s worth it, and share real examples of recent installations completed by Strip Curtains Direct.
Do You Need Professional PVC Strip Curtain Installation?
For smaller interior doorways or low-traffic areas, a DIY installation can work well if the measurements and fittings are straightforward.
However, professional installation becomes important when:
In these environments, even small fitting errors can lead to gaps, energy loss, or operational disruption.
What’s Included in a Professional Installation?

Recent Installation Projects by Strip Curtains Direct
Yorkshire Brewery
February 2026
A recent installation at a Yorkshire brewery shows how the right setup can improve both workflow and production efficiency.
Clear 300mm x 3mm PVC strip curtains were installed with a partial overlap. This allowed for smooth movement between areas while significantly reducing draughts.
The result is a working environment with better temperature control without disrupting operations. This demonstrates that effective installation supports operational efficiency.
Additional Projects
Across warehouses, food production sites, and logistics facilities, installations are typically tailored to the environment. For example:
Cold storage sites often require polar-grade PVC with a tighter overlap to retain temperature
High-traffic warehouse doors benefit from thicker strips to withstand repeated impact
Food environments prioritise hygiene-focused materials and precise sealing
Each installation is designed around the specific operational challenge.
Installation for a manufacturer of electronic industrial process control equipment.
Why Proper Installation Matters
Correct installation directly affects performance. When fitted properly, PVC strip curtains:
Reduce heat or cold air loss
Improve temperature consistency
Prevent gaps that allow dust or pests through
Last longer due to correct alignment and fixing
Support compliance in regulated environments
Poor installation, on the other hand, can quickly undo the benefits of even the highest-quality materials.
How Long Does Installation Take?
Most installations are completed quickly and with minimal disruption.
Small openings can often be fitted the same day
Larger or multi-door sites may take one to two days
Installations are typically scheduled to avoid peak operational hours
Can You Install Them Yourself?
You can install PVC strip curtains yourself, especially for simple applications. However, for larger or more critical environments, professional installation ensures the job is done correctly, safely, and efficiently.
