PVC strip curtains for doorways, cold rooms and clean areas
Strip curtains are a wear part — they get hit, scratched and washed daily. What decides how long they last is the plasticiser and the ribbing, not the price per metre.
We run DOP, DOTP and paraffin formulations in 2 mm, 3 mm and 4 mm, with single or double vertical ribbing to stop strips sticking in high-traffic doors. Widths from 100 mm to 400 mm, cut to your doorway, in 25 m or 50 m rolls.
For food areas, specify amber insect-proof or clear DOTP. For welding bays, specify the dark green or bronze UV grade. For freezer doors, specify DOTP rather than DOP — it stays flexible at lower temperatures.
Why the plasticiser matters. DOP is the cost-effective standard. DOTP is the low-migration alternative for food-contact and indoor air quality requirements. Paraffin-based compounds are used where a non-phthalate declaration is requested.
Rails and hardware
Curtain rails, suspension hooks and bottom weights are supplied with the curtains so the doorway is delivered as one kit rather than three purchase orders.
Nine grades, one table.
Minimum order 300 m per grade. Mixed grades can be combined in one shipment.
| Grade | Thickness | Width | Roll length | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Common clear | 2 / 3 / 4 mm | 200–400 mm | 50 m | General doorways — clear, blue, red, yellow, orange or dark green |
| Insect-proof | 2 / 3 / 4 mm | 200–400 mm | 50 m | Food, feed and beverage plants — yellow only; the colour repels insects |
| Anti-static | 2 / 3 mm | 200–400 mm | 50 m | Clean rooms, electronics assembly — 10⁴–10⁶ Ω surface, 10⁷–10⁹ Ω lattice |
| Frosted | 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 mm | 200–1,200 mm | 50 m | Light through, sight blocked — ground-glass surface, translucent |
| Opaque black | 2 / 3 / 4 mm | 200–400 mm | 50 m | Total sight barrier — hand traffic only, not for vehicles |
| Polar (low temperature) | 2 / 3 / 4 mm | 200–400 mm | 50 m | Cold stores and freezer doors |
| Welding | 2 / 3 / 4 mm | 200–400 mm | 50 m | Welding bays — dark bronze, dark green or UV red |
| Ribbed, single or double | 2 / 3 mm | 200–400 mm | 50 m | Forklift traffic — ribbing stops strips clinging to each other |
| Hook-on system | Matched to strip | Stainless rail | — | Light industrial doors with manual pallet movement |
Width and colour are made to order. Confirm final dimensions on the quotation.
What comes off the line.
Cut-edge strips in 50 m rolls are the standard build. Wide round-edge strips and soft sheet run on the same line in wider formats.
| Format | Thickness (mm) | Width (mm) | Roll length | Edge |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cut-edge strip | 2 | 200 / 300 | 50 m | Cut |
| Cut-edge strip | 3 | 200 / 300 / 400 | 50 m | Cut |
| Cut-edge strip | 4 | 300 / 400 | 50 m | Cut |
| Round-edge strip | 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 | 800 / 1,000 / 1,200 | 50 m | Round |
| Soft PVC sheet | 0.3 – 8 | 500 – 1,800 | 10 – 50 m | Smooth |
Non-standard widths are slit to order, subject to a 300 m minimum per grade.
Three questions before you order.
Is there food on the other side?
Then specify amber insect-proof or clear DOTP, and ask for the non-phthalate declaration.
How cold does the doorway get?
Below freezing, choose DOTP over DOP — flexibility is what keeps strips hanging straight.
How often is the door hit?
Forklifts mean nylon-reinforced. Constant hand traffic means ribbed, so strips do not cling.
Often bought together.
Send the doorway width and the environment.
We will come back with a grade, a thickness and a roll plan — usually the same working day.
