Aircraft Hangar Curtains UK
Heavy-duty industrial PVC strip curtains for aircraft hangars, MRO facilities, and aviation maintenance environments. Our hangar curtains handle extreme-width openings, resist oil and aviation fuel, withstand temperature variation, and provide clear visibility — essential in active hangar operations.
Why Aircraft Hangars Need PVC Strip Curtains
- Thermal separation — isolate heated maintenance bays from unheated hangar floor
- Draught exclusion — prevent cold air ingress through large hangar openings
- Dust and debris control — keep paint and composite work areas contaminant-free
- Chemical resistance — withstands aviation fuel, hydraulic fluid, and de-icers
- Wide opening capability — rails joinable to cover 10m+ openings
- High visibility — clear PVC maintains sightlines in safety-critical environments
Recommended Products for Hangars

- Twin Track Rails — full curtain retraction for wide aircraft access
- Ribbed PVC Strips — reinforced for equipment and vehicle contact
- Welding Grade (ISO25980) — for MRO welding and fabrication areas

Manufacturers and Installers of Industrial Aircraft Hanger Curtains
Aircraft hangar curtains, also known as aircraft hangar door curtains, are large and sturdy curtains used to enclose aircraft hangar openings. These curtains are specifically designed to function as doors, providing access to the hangar while protecting the aircraft and personnel inside from external elements. Here's a closer look at the features and benefits of aircraft hangar curtains:
Features:
- Heavy-Duty Material: Hangar curtains are made from industrial-grade materials such as reinforced PVC, fabric & other durable materials. These materials can withstand harsh environmental conditions, including wind, rain, and temperature extremes.
- Size and Customization: Aircraft hangar curtains come in various sizes and can be custom-made to fit the specific dimensions of the hangar opening. This ensures a proper seal and optimal coverage.
- Opening Mechanism: Hangar curtains can be equipped with different opening mechanisms, such as a track and trolley system, allowing them to slide horizontally to open or close the hangar. Some curtains may also have vertical lifting options, similar to traditional hangar doors.
- Transparency Options: Depending on the design, hangar curtains may have transparent sections or windows made of clear material. This enables natural light to enter the hangar while providing visibility from the inside.
