In short
From a single pedestrian doorway to a wide loading bay in Bishop Auckland, we can fit strip curtains matched to the traffic, temperature and visibility needs of each opening, using rails suited to the wall above.

Options that matter on site
- Ribbed strips. Raised ribs take forklift and pallet abrasion, keeping strips clearer for longer.
- Sliding rails. Where big loads come through, the curtain can slide or swing out of the way.
- Draught control. Strips cut the loss of heated or chilled air through busy openings.
- Traffic passes freely. Nothing to open or close: traffic simply pushes through and the strips drop back.
- Hook-on strips. Replace a single damaged strip without taking the whole curtain down.
Typical scopes of work
- Installing weld-screen strip curtains around welding bays in a fabrication workshop to protect nearby staff.
- Supplying polar-grade strips for a freezer doorway where standard PVC stiffens and cracks in the cold.
- Supplying replacement strips cut to length for existing hook-on rails across several doorways in one visit.
Traffic route rules that apply in Bishop Auckland
Strip curtains sit on workplace traffic routes, so in England the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 apply: traffic routes must be organised so pedestrians and vehicles can move safely (regulation 17) and kept in good repair (regulation 5). That is why clear strips, good visibility and prompt replacement of scratched or missing strips matter.
How the work is organised

PVC strip curtains in Bishop Auckland: your questions
Which strip curtain grade suits our Bishop Auckland premises?
Standard clear PVC suits most ambient doorways. Polar grade is needed for chillers and freezers, ribbed strips for heavy forklift routes, and tinted grades for insect control or welding areas. We recommend a grade after seeing the opening.
How often should strip curtains in Bishop Auckland be replaced?
It depends on traffic. Pedestrian doorways can go years between changes; busy forklift routes need new strips sooner. Replace any strip that is torn, cloudy or badly scratched so visibility stays good.
Is a strip curtain or a high-speed door better for our Bishop Auckland site?
A strip curtain costs far less and suits most openings. A high-speed door seals better, keeps a clear view and suits very busy or temperature-critical openings. We price both where either could work.
