Different Uses of Insulated Curtains

With the many different types of insulated curtains comes many different applications for them. The most common being helping with walk-in chiller and freezer cold room door openings.

However, there are a few more specific applications;

Food Safe Areas – Due to the unique ‘cold lock’ systems, this ensures that the curtains fit perfectly and effectively to both the floor and ceiling of your cold room application.

By the curtain being accurately fitted to the height of your cold room, this prevents any air from escaping and any air being taken in, protecting the ideal temperature needed for your products, which we know is an essential within the food and drink industry.

As well as this, they work alongside your cold room door insulation – improving your overall cold room efficiency.

Pharmaceutical Storage – The Bio Gard curtains we have available are specifically designed, and therefore make the perfect solution to stopping the spread of bacteria in your cold rooms or temperature-controlled areas.

Research shows Bio Gard is proven to stop the spread of 99.99% of all germs!

We also have options available for antibacterial strip curtains, which are ideal for use within clean rooms and pharmaceutical cold rooms.

Refrigerated Vehicles – When a vehicle’s doors are open, Back Stop and Multi Stop insulated curtains help to retain up to 100% of the air which has been constantly maintained based on your desired temperature range.

Insulated curtains will help to protect your products by reducing the amount of time your products are exposed to external temperatures. The thermal barrier it creates retains your refrigerated vehicle’s internal temperatures.

Not only this, but Back Stop and Multi Stop insulated curtains are driver-friendly and easily repaired/replaced when needed!

What Do Insulated Curtains Actually Do?

Most commonly, insulated cold room curtains are used in conjunction with cold room doors to create a more energy efficient, and effective alternative to protecting your products from being ruined by changes in temperature.

This means that insulated curtains could actually result in energy savings for your business!

Not only do they increase your insulation properties and reduce your energy consumption, but having insulated curtains installed can also reduce the number of ice build-up issues you might experience within your cold room or cold room door solution.

As well as minimizing air ingress within the insulated curtain, it also helps to reduce condensation levels and frost build up in between the individual strips.

Do you have to have your cold room door open for extended periods of time? Our selection of insulated cold room curtains are able to maintain your internal temperatures, whilst also protecting your products from external conditions!
