Warehouses and work environments benefit greatly from the use of PVC strip Curtains. In addition to dividing workspaces into separate areas, they also act as a barrier against dust, pests, noise, heat, and cold.

Before purchasing your PVC strip curtains, you should consider a few factors. In this post, we'll discuss what those factors are.

What size are the curtains?

PVC curtains should have strips that are a reasonable width before you purchase them. If you live in an area with strong winds or a lot of exposure to the elements, you will want thick, heavy strips that will not blow away. Places like the outside of the building are perfect for this. A place that has lots of foot traffic, however, will need lighter, thinner curtains to make moving easier. People won't be able to move as quickly with thick, heavy curtains.

In addition, you'll need to know how long you want each PVC Curtain to be. They should be roughly touching the ground. Those that are too long will trip over them, and those that are too short won't block out dust or pests.

Choosing the right material for curtains

Different materials and grades of Strip Curtains are available to suit specific needs. Polar-grade strips are needed in freezer rooms since ordinary PVC strips would freeze and possibly break. These strips can withstand ice and snow at very low temperatures. To prevent fires caused by friction between clothes and curtains in areas with a lot of people, curtains made of antistatic materials may be necessary.

PVC curtains with welding-grade properties are required in welding areas. Sparks and hot metal projectiles can cause severe burns to unprotected skin when the skin is exposed to welding-grade PVC. PVC is also dark when it is being welded to block the harmful UV rays emitted during the welding process.

It may be necessary to use food-grade PVC in food storage areas. Besides being food-safe, this type of PVC meets all key EU regulations pertaining to food contact.

Curtains with transparency

PVC curtains should also be transparent, and this is another factor to consider. Transparent curtains make it easy to see through them. This is especially useful if you have heavy machinery driving around. In the example above, if a forklift truck driver is approaching one side of the curtain, and a lorry driver is approaching the other, the two drivers will see each other through the curtain and avoid colliding.

In contrast, PVC Strip curtains provide a sense of privacy. You should opt for Plastic Door Curtains between different work areas if you need privacy.
