Singer Safety’s PVC strip curtains offer easy access between work areas while providing a barrier to separate different spaces. Our PVC strip doors have applications in a wide variety of industries and come in both standard and custom sizes. In this article, we will break down the basics of PVC strip curtains, including how they reduce accidents and enhance climate control in a diverse range of industries.
What are PVC Strip Curtains?
PVC strip curtains are a type of durable, flexible drape made out of polyvinyl chloride (PVC). They are used to create barriers in industrial facilities, food processing plants, warehouses, and more. One of the purposes of PVC strip doors is to stop noise, airborne hazards, and dust from moving from one side of the barrier to the other, as well as to divide large spaces into smaller workstations. PVC strip curtains can be mounted on existing door frames or installed on overhead tracks, and they come available in a range of sizes to suit different applications.
How Do PVC Strip Doors Improve Safety?
Improving worker safety is important in all industries, particularly in high-risk settings such as warehouses. PVC strip curtains are transparent, which means personnel can see what’s happening on both sides. This enhanced visibility reduces the risk of collisions, particularly when people or vehicles attempt to pass through the curtain simultaneously. Additionally, the flexibility of PVC strip doors allows people to move easily through the drapes while minimizing the potential for accidents. These curtains also act as barriers, containing hazards such as fumes or welding sparks and protecting people outside the curtain who may not be wearing proper safety equipment. Finally, PVC strip doors can help control access to restricted locations, preventing unwanted traffic in hazardous areas. At Singer Safety Company, our strip doors feature rounded edges for additional worker safety.
How Do PVC Strip Doors Improve Climate Control?
PVC strip doors improve climate control by creating a sealed barrier to reduce the passage of air from one area to another. In refrigerated warehouses or cold storage facilities, for example, PVC strip doors can prevent cold air from escaping and warm air from entering, helping to maintain climate-controlled temperatures. Similarly, in warm climates, PVC strip curtains can help keep facilities air-conditioned, improving worker comfort and lowering energy expenses. Because strip doors are made of flexible PVC strips, they overlap with each other, creating a seal that keeps air in. This means they can provide climate control in both small areas as well as large ones like storage facilities, warehouses, and manufacturing plants.
Additional Benefits of Warehouse Plastic Curtains
In addition to improved safety and energy efficiency, warehouse plastic curtains come with several benefits. They allow natural light to penetrate dark areas, reducing the need for artificial light and lowering electricity expenses. They are flexible, which allows people, products, and equipment to easily pass through them. They reduce noise, improving concentration and decreasing noise pollution for businesses in populated areas. At Singer Safety Company, our PVC strip doors are designed to be low friction and low static, they contain airborne dust and keep out pests, and they allow new workspaces to be created without permanently altering the workplace.
Applications for PVC Strip Doors
PVC strip doors have a wide range of applications. They can be used in large industrial facilities such as warehouses, manufacturing plants, and distribution centers to separate different working areas without permanently altering the facility. They have applications in cold storage facilities, such as industrial freezers, to keep in cold air and reduce energy costs. In settings like food processing plants and car repair shops, PVC strip doors can be used to control noise and improve safety.
