PVC strip curtains

are typically used to create separation between two areas. Whether those two areas are different departments of a warehouse, a cold area and a room-temperature area (as in a food production facility), or inside/outside, PVC strip curtains offer the benefit of being able to allow the efficiency of a door with the convenience of not having to open or close it.

PVC strip curtains are often used at loading docks to prevent the escape of air conditioned air, which can help manage utility costs and can help keep debris outdoors from getting in. They’re also used in warehouses or factories to separate different work areas, and the convenience of them means that machinery like forklifts or other vehicles don’t have to physically open a garage door or gate to access another area of the workplace. Some regular places you’ll see strip curtains installed may include:

Benefits of PVC Curtains

Aside from the tremendous convenience that PVC strip doors offer, they also save energy. Whether you want to keep cool air or warm air inside, the curtains do a great job of stopping the conditioned air from escaping outside. This can save your business a lot of money, since you can lower or raise the temperature of your facility while not losing that air to leakage at doors. The curtains are also ideal for separating work areas that may cause contamination otherwise. For instance, in auto body shops, the curtains can keep out dust, fumes, noise, and other elements, making it a better work environment for each department’s workers, as well as a cleaner workplace overall. They also make the workplace easier to navigate. When forklifts have to stop at doorways to wait for a door to manually open, time is lost, and even though it may only be a few seconds here or there, that time can add up quickly.
