Last updated: April 2026

PVC strip curtains are one of the most cost-effective barrier solutions available to UK businesses — but prices vary enormously depending on width, thickness, strip configuration, and whether you go made-to-measure or off-the-shelf. This guide breaks down real UK market pricing so you can budget accurately and avoid overpaying.

What Affects the Cost of PVC Strip Curtains?

  • Opening width and height — larger openings require more strips and longer lengths
  • Strip width — 100mm, 200mm, 300mm and 400mm widths have different pricing per metre
  • Strip thickness — 2mm, 3mm and 4mm; thicker = more PVC = higher cost
  • Grade — standard clear, polar/freezer grade, anti-static, ribbed, or coloured
  • Rail type — hook-on, swivel hinge, twin track or QuickMount rails carry different price points
  • Made-to-measure vs. kit — bespoke cutting costs more but wastes nothing
  • Quantity — bulk rolls and multiple openings attract volume discounts

ROI: What Do PVC Strip Curtains Save?

For a heated warehouse, a poorly sealed 3m × 3m opening can lose £800–£1,500 per year in heat. A properly installed PVC strip curtain reducing heat loss by 60–70% pays for itself within one winter. Cold store operators report even faster payback given refrigeration costs.
