Choosing the Right PVC Strip Curtain for Your Facility

A PVC strip curtain looks like a simple product until you’re standing in front of six variants that all claim to be the right one. Each grade solves a specific problem, and picking the wrong one is why some curtains end up scratched, insect-ridden, or simply not doing the job.

Start with the base grade

PVC Strip Curtains in the standard clear grade covers most general doorway separation — retaining heat or cold, cutting dust and noise — and suits temperatures from about -15°C to +60°C. If your doorway is a standard internal or loading-bay opening with normal traffic, this is the starting point.

When visibility and temperature both matter

Transparent PVC Curtain is the same clear-strip concept optimised specifically for cold storage and food areas, with a freezer-grade option that stays flexible down to -25°C where standard clear PVC would stiffen and crack.

High-traffic doorways: protecting the curtain itself

Ordinary smooth strips scratch and cloud quickly under constant forklift and trolley contact. Double Ribbed PVC Curtain adds raised ribs on both faces specifically to absorb that impact, keeping the curtain clear for far longer on busy warehouse and loading-bay doors.

Special-purpose grades

• Welding Grade PVC Curtain — tinted strips that filter welding UV and glare, protecting workers near fabrication bays without fully closing off the area.
• Anti Insect PVC Curtain — amber strips that filter the UV wavelengths flying insects are drawn to, for food and production doorways.
• PVC Curtain with Stainless Steel Fittings — a stainless rail and hook system for hygienic, wash-down environments where individual strips need quick replacement.

A simple selection path

Frequently asked questions

Can I combine grades — for example, ribbed and anti-insect? Special coatings and treatments are grade-specific, so combining two special properties in one strip usually isn’t available; tell us your priority and we’ll recommend the best single grade.

How much overlap should strips have? It depends on the doorway’s duty — our PVC Strip Curtain Calculator works out strip count and material for your exact width, height and overlap preference.

Do all grades come with a hanging rail? Standard rail and fittings are included; stainless fittings are a specific upgrade for hygienic environments.

Not sure which grade fits your doorway? Send us the width, height, and what you need it to do — insect control, cold retention, high traffic — and we’ll confirm the right one.
