We are on a bit of a mission at Strip Curtains Direct to help companies with their pest control, which is why we have introduced a new product line: electronic fly zappers. These are highly efficient at controlling flies, as they use a UV bulb to attract the flies and the fly then gets zapped by the electronic grid and falls onto the easily removable and cleanable tray.
We know that flies, wasps and other insects can be a problem for food businesses in the summer, which is why we are delighted to have introduced a new PVC strip curtain to our range - the Perforated PVC Curtain. This curtain is perfect for food businesses as it allows air to flow through your kitchen or storage area while keeping flies out.
We've talked a lot in the past about how fly screens for windows are essential for commercial premises, for many reasons - not least keeping the little pests out while allowing for free air flow. However, we offer eight different types of window fly screens at Strip Curtains Direct, and we are aware that you may not be too sure of what the differences are - so we have pulled together this quick guide for you.
As one of the world's leading manufacturers of PVC crash doors, we have worked with a variety of companies over the years including food and beverage manufacturers. One of the most critical considerations this type of company has is hygiene - there are lots of legal demands connected to this, and it can be quite a challenge.
Around 2.3 million people are employed in metal goods, engineering and vehicle production in the UK. In 2016/2017, the HSE reported that there were over 60,000 injuries in the workplace, with welding being one of the most hazardous occupations today. The most common workplace injuries for welders include lung and nerve damage from toxic chemicals, burns, and also welder's flash (or arc eye). We can help warehouse owners who are trying to lower the incidence of arc eye by offering a range of welding curtains and screens.
Did you know that over 300 flying insects have been identified as a threat to commercial food facilities? From moths, wasps, flying ants and mosquitoes to multiple types of flies, there are a lot of winged pests that can cause issues if you have hygiene standards to adhere to. Both the General Food Law and the Food Safety Act cover good hygiene practices, including protection against contamination and pest control in particular. This is where our range of fly screens and fly screen doors come in.
