Food Factory Curtains UK

Food-safe PVC strip curtains for food production, processing, packaging, and catering environments. Our food grade curtains meet hygiene requirements for HACCP-compliant facilities, maintain temperature separation, and provide effective pest barriers — while allowing hands-free access for staff and equipment.

Why Food Factories Need PVC Strip Curtains

  • HACCP compliance — physical barriers between preparation, processing, and dispatch zones
  • Temperature separation — maintain chilled or ambient zones without permanent walls
  • Pest and insect control — barrier against flies, insects, and rodents at doorways
  • Cross-contamination prevention — separate raw and ready-to-eat zones
  • Hygiene — smooth, non-porous PVC is easy to wipe clean and does not harbour bacteria
  • Hands-free access — staff with gloves or carrying product walk through without touching handles

Food Grade Curtain Options

  • Food Grade Clear (Hook-On) — general food processing and catering doorways
  • Polar/Freezer Grade — cold room and chiller store access (flexible to -30°C)
  • Antimicrobial PVC — enhanced hygiene for high-risk food contact areas
  • Fly Mesh Strip Curtains — insect barrier for loading bays and doorways
  • Solid Black Abattoir Grade — heavy-duty privacy and hygiene in meat processing
  • Anti-Static — for packaging lines with static-sensitive equipment

Frequently Asked Questions

Are your food grade PVC curtains BPA-free?

Yes — all food-grade PVC strips in our range are BPA-free and compliant with regulations for use in food contact environments.

Can PVC curtains be used in a BRC or SALSA audited facility?

Yes — PVC strip curtains are widely used in BRC, SALSA, and EFSIS audited sites as physical barriers for HACCP zone separation. Ensure the curtain material is food-grade certified and that a cleaning schedule is documented.

How do I clean food factory PVC curtains?

Wipe down with warm water and a food-safe sanitiser. PVC does not absorb liquids, so cleaning is fast. For Polar Grade curtains, avoid cleaning at extreme temperatures to prevent cracking.

What's the best curtain for a cold room entrance in a food factory?

Polar Grade PVC strip curtains — they remain flexible and seal effectively at temperatures down to -30°C, preventing condensation and maintaining cold store efficiency.

Features & Benefits

  1. Bacterial Resistance: Anti-bacterial curtains are treated with substances that inhibit the growth and spread of bacteria, mold, and mildew. This feature helps reduce the risk of bacterial contamination in food production areas.
  2. Hygienic Separation: The curtains act as barriers between different areas within the food factory, helping to separate processing zones. This prevents cross-contamination and minimizes the risk of foodborne illnesses.
  3. Temperature Control: Some anti-bacterial curtains come with insulating properties, allowing them to regulate temperature and humidity levels. This is beneficial in maintaining optimal working conditions and prolonging the shelf life of certain food products.
  4. Easy Installation and Maintenance: Anti-bacterial curtains are typically easy to install and maintain. They are available in various sizes and configurations to fit different openings in the facility.
  5. Visibility and Safety: The curtains are usually transparent, providing good visibility between areas. This can enhance safety by allowing workers to see potential hazards or movements on the other side of the curtains.
  6. Chemical Resistance: They are often resistant to cleaning chemicals, making it easier to clean and sanitize the curtains without damaging their anti-bacterial properties.
  7. Compliance with Regulations: Many food safety regulations and certifications require the use of appropriate barriers to prevent contamination. Anti-bacterial curtains can help meet these requirements.
