What are PVC strip curtains used for?

PVC strip curtains are used to separate work areas while allowing easy passage for people, forklifts, and vehicles. Common applications include warehouses, cold rooms and freezers, food factories, workshops, loading bays, and cleanrooms. They help retain heat, reduce noise, control dust, and deter insects.

What is the difference between pedestrian and forklift PVC strip curtains?

Pedestrian PVC strip curtains are typically 2mm or 3mm thick with 100mm or 200mm wide strips. Forklift curtains use heavier 3mm or 4mm strips at 300mm or 400mm wide to withstand impact from vehicles. Forklift curtains also require greater overlap — usually 100% (full strip width) — to maintain an effective barrier after vehicle passage.

How are PVC strip curtains installed?

PVC strip curtains hang from a rail fixed above the door opening. Rails are available in hook-on, quick-mount, swivel hinge, and twin-track configurations. Strips clip or hook onto the rail and overlap to form the curtain. Most installations can be completed without specialist tools in under an hour.

Can PVC strip curtains help reduce energy costs?

Yes. PVC strip curtains create an effective thermal barrier that significantly reduces heat loss through doorways. In cold storage environments they maintain temperature, reducing refrigeration running costs. In heated warehouses and factories, they retain warm air, cutting heating bills. Studies show energy savings of 20-40% on heating and cooling costs are achievable.

Fly Screen & Anti-Insect PVC Strip Curtains

Flying insect control is a fundamental requirement in any food production, catering, pharmaceutical, or hospitality environment. PVC strip curtains provide one of the most effective and cost-efficient physical barriers against flies, midges, wasps, and other flying insects at external doorways and openings, maintaining compliance with food hygiene regulations while allowing continuous access for staff and goods.

Unlike traditional fly screens or mesh, PVC strip curtains offer a far more durable solution that requires minimal maintenance, withstands heavy use in commercial environments, and provides the additional benefits of temperature retention, noise reduction, and dust exclusion. They are particularly effective on loading bay doors, kitchen entrances, bakery and food processing doorways, and any external opening that experiences regular foot traffic during warmer months.

Why PVC Strip Curtains for Insect Control?

Effective Physical Barrier – overlapping PVC strips deny flying insects continuous access at open doorways
Food Hygiene Compliant – supports compliance with Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 and UK food hygiene standards
Continuous Access – staff, trolleys, and goods pass through freely without propping or removing the barrier
Low Maintenance – easy to wipe clean, individual strips can be replaced if damaged
Temperature Retention – unlike open doorways, strip curtains also limit heat gain in summer and heat loss in winter
UV Stabilised – suitable for external and semi-outdoor applications exposed to direct sunlight

For maximum insect control, we recommend 100% strip overlap with 200mm wide strips. Anti-insect strip curtains are available in clear and light-stabilised grades, and can be fitted to standard door frames using any of our mounting rail systems.
