Things to consider before you buy PVC Strip Curtains

OK - where is this blog going? You now know I like my PVC Strip curtains and the advantages of them, and you know what they are - but before you all rush off and some, because you all want to be like me obviously, there are a few things you need to think about.

So you’ve decided that PVC strip curtain doors are they way to go for your work environment or warehouse too right? You do want them right? Of course you do!

OK so you need to think first about what size you are going to need and the width of the strips needed to make up the door curtain. If the door opening is external you will probably want a heavy-weight thicker strip that won’t blow around in the wind but if it is going up on an internal doorway then you are going to want a thinner, lighter strip that is easy for people to move. 

Think about the length - your strips should almost touch the floor. If they are too short they won’t be effective at keeping the heat, or the cold in for that matter and you could also have problems with dust and pests still getting in. However, if you make them too long you could end up with a trip hazard. 

Think about the grade of PVC you might need such as anti-static, welding grade or even polar-grade where they are need in a ‘cold-room’ environment. If you are in the food industry, there are also grades of PVC that are suitable for the regulations relating to contact with foodstuff. 

Do you need them to be transparent or coloured? I mentioned how great the transparent ones are for external doorways with a flow of people or vehicles. Did you know they also come in other colours such as red, blue, yellow, black and grey?

As you can see there are quite a few things to consider, that is why we went to Rayflex because they provide made to measure pvc strip curtains and will help you get the right ones for your needs.

The strips usually come various widths, heights and thickness to suit the reason they are needed. They are an ideal cheap barrier solution that cost far less than industrial doors. 

The strips forming the door curtain are pretty easy to install and they are low maintenance because there are no moving parts to worry about. They are also great for reducing pollution in the workplace - they reduce noise pollution and the things you have probably already thought of such as dust, smoke, dirt and fumes. Did I mention they are also great for reducing the number of pesky flies and insects getting in!

Another big plus for strip curtains is the fact they can be transparent, so staff and drivers can see what is on the other side before going through and, unlike a traditional door, they close behind you.

A typical Sagittarius - me?

So, according to Cosmo, Sagittarians are the intense, breezy, lovable ‘Tiggers’ of your zodiac? Is that me? I don’t know - I can be intense sometimes. We are supposed to be lively, passionate and love to feel free, born travellers, adventurers, explorers. I don’t get to travel much and I have little in common with Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift or Britney Spears.
