Four uses for plastic door curtains

Plastic door curtains, usually made from what is known as Polyvinyl Chloride, are a fantastic and efficient method to secure your spaces and keep them safe from vermin and birds whilst regulating temperature and still allowing the necessary access.

The uses of PVC strip curtains, or plastic door curtains, which are where strips of PVC are layered across each other to become a flexible barrier, are many and varied. Here are four common and successful uses of PVC strip curtains!

1. SECONDARY BARRIERS

The most common application of the plastic door or PVC strip curtains are as a secondary barrier where the primary door will be left open for extended periods to facilitate workflow and foot traffic. An example of this would be the external openings of factories where goods are being wheeled in or out. To constantly have to open a substantial door throughout the work day would be a hassle and an effort. Here PVC strip curtains form an invaluable service, closing the work space and protecting it from vermin and birds and such whilst facilitating large movement such as workers and small vehicles by being flexible and moveable.

Having PVC strip curtains as a secondary door to the outside opening of your factory or business saves money and time, allowing you the positives of having a sealed entrance and exit, such as temperature regulation and pest control, without the power used to open and shut massive and potentially heavy metal doors.

2. TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED ROOMS

Another example of PVC curtains and their excellent utility is where your business requires some form of temperature control. In factories for the storage of food, for example, the temperature often needs to be below freezing and any small fluctuation in this temperature can cause massive problems and unnecessary wastage if products go off or are damaged in some other way. Similarly on the opposite end of the scale it is often important to keep an open environment heated for the comfort of employees or customers or whomever the business caters to.

In both cases PVC strip curtains or doors can be a brilliant purchase and a great way of allowing temperature regulation without compromising on mobility or natural light – saving electricity and saving money.

3. IMPROVING MOBILITY

PVC curtain strip doors when used internally are also excellent. In this use businesses find that they can improve traffic flow by speeding up the movement of personnel, employee or customer, or materials between two areas in the relevant building. Without the stop, open, move through and then close manual actions of traditional doors speed and efficiency are aided. These functions of PVC curtains of course still work without causing a compromise over temperature regulation or pest control.

PVC curtains come in several different forms with all manner of different tensile strength which can allow you, the purchaser, to choose what you need for your purpose. Some forms of the curtains, for example, are better suited to only light pedestrian traffic whilst others are capable of withstanding heavy pedestrian traffic or even vehicular and powered traffic. For a factory floor conscious of temperature regulation between areas but still requiring free movement and perhaps the use of internal trucks and other small vehicles this function of PVC curtains performs a fantastic and invaluable service.

4. NOISE AND ENVIRONMENT CONTROL

PVC curtain strip doors are not, however, only suited to the factory floor. The use of PVC is found in schools and shops and even in domestic homes. PVC curtains can help to exclude and provide protection against environmental complaints and pressures such as noise, wind, and dirt as well as temperature. The prevention of overheating or freezing workspaces as well as the protection from too much noise or air pollution can help afford your employees a comfortable workplace and your customers a healthy and safe time at your business.

PVC curtains are also available that are tailored especially for welding work, forming effective welding screens without blocking out any natural light. This, again, helps you to save on electricity when the outside light intensity is favourable.
