PVC Strip Curtains
PVC STRIP CURTAINS
Coldshield’s PVC strip curtains are manufactured from premium-grade polyvinyl chloride (PVC) strips attached to an aluminium mounting track. With overlapping PVC strips, they act as a barrier between different production areas without restricting pedestrian, equipment, or forklift traffic.
Flexible, economical, and versatile, clear PVC strip curtains can be customised to enhance temperature management, hygiene control, and workplace safety in commercial and industrial applications.
WHY PVC STRIP CURTAINS?
Temperature Control & Energy Savings
Coldshield strip curtains limit air exchange between temperature zones, improving climate stability and reducing strain on HVAC systems. Independent testing (Leroy Palmer & Associates, RPEQ5208) has shown that cold room PVC strip curtains can achieve up to 24% energy savings, reducing operational costs.
Hygiene & Contamination Control
Made with premium-grade PVC, strip curtains prevent insects, vermin, birds, and other pests from entering controlled environments. They further minimise cross-contamination by acting as physical barriers against dust and particles. Combining quality and hygienic design, strip curtains support strict regulatory compliance in sensitive applications.
Enhanced Visibility & Workplace Safety
Clear PVC strip curtains allow personnel to see approaching pedestrians, trolleys, and forklifts, reducing the risks of collision typical in high-traffic areas. Featuring UV-stabilised PVC, Coldshield’s strip curtains will not yellow, crack or become brittle in the sun. This makes them ideal not only for indoor environments but also for external doorways with natural light exposure.
