PVC Strip Curtains

Need to reduce your energy costs while maintaining set temperatures for stock protection? Also need to minimise dust and debris? PVC strip curtains are the simple, effective, and easy-to-install solution for your cold room!

Available to order from UK Cold Room Spares with handy next-day delivery, give your cold stores an extra layer of thermal protection with PVC curtains.

What are PVC curtains?

Positioned between the door and the cold room itself, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) strip curtains create an additional barrier between the two environments to help maintain consistent temperatures in the two different areas.

Compared to cold room curtains that are of a more solid construction, these are made from thin plastic strips around 100 – 200 mm wide. Once fixed at the top, they swing freely for easy access and egress, even with forklifts and trolleys.

Measuring PVC strip curtains before ordering and fitting is essential to ensure the whole doorway is covered for maximum thermal protection.

The PVC strips come in a range of colours and grades, offering options for chiller, freezer, and ambient spaces. This means there should be a solution for you, no matter your industry or business type.

Are PVC curtains suitable for freezers and chillers?

If properly specified, PVC curtains in standard or freezer-grade designs can help to:

Maintain internal temperatures
Prevent condensation
Extend compressor life

As well as keeping your energy efficiency high and your bills low!

Plus, as they are made up of individual PVC strips, they are incredibly easy to manoeuvre during entry, restocking, and exiting.

Benefits of PVC strip curtains

While sometimes seen as an optional extra, strip curtains can bring many benefits to industries and businesses that rely on cold storage, including:

Energy savings

Creating a thermal barrier, strip curtains minimise the transfer of refrigerated air out of the room and warmer air from outside in, which saves you money and also reduces the strain on your refrigeration systems.

Easy movement

The unique structure of strip curtains means that people or machinery can come and go as they please, and the transparent and flexible PVC strips will simply pass over them and return to their original position.

It’s suitable for all ambient and cold stores

With ambient, chiller, and freezer-grade PVC strip curtains, no matter what temperatures you need to maintain, there is an option suitable for you.

Durability

With the correct cleaning routine and regular maintenance, PVC curtains can last anywhere from 3 to 5 years in industrial settings or warehouses – giving excellent value for money!

Ordering the correct size PVC strip curtain

The size you need depends on your doorway’s width and height, the condition of your existing rail, and the application (chiller, freezer, or ambient).

Step 1: Check your rail

If it needs replacing, you can either order a complete kit, which comes with the rail and strips together, or, if the rail is still in good condition, just the standalone PVC strip curtain roll.

Step 2: Confirm your measurements

Double-check the doorway’s width and height, and the strip size you need, so everything fits on arrival.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it possible to replace just the PVC strips?

You can replace PVC strips if they become unsightly or damaged. Just be sure to purchase compatible ambient, chiller, or freezer-grade PVC strip curtain rolls to replace the necessary strips.

This method provides an alternative to made-to-measure PVC strip curtains, which are generally only recommended for small or unusually shaped doorways.

For more advice, ask the experts by calling 01886 833 381 or emailing spares@mtcss.co.uk.

What do the PVC strip colours mean?

Our range of PVC strips includes red, yellow, and clear strips, all of which come with additional benefits and possible uses.

Red strips

These denote hazardous areas or emergency exits. By colouring them red, they are more eye-catching and can help guide staff towards exits.

Yellow/amber strips

This colour naturally repels pests and insects, like flies and wasps, without the use of pesticides or harmful chemicals that can compromise stock quality.

Clear strips

Transparent strips are the standard and offer increased visibility – vastly reducing the risk of collisions.

Can I fit PVC strip curtains myself?

In most cases, you should be able to put up your PVC curtains yourself.

However, installation requirements may vary depending on the PVC curtain model and mounting system you have. Feel free to contact the team for expert installation advice by emailing spares@mtcss.co.uk if you aren’t sure.
