Options for PVC strip curtains in Chester-le-Street

No power. With no electrics involved, the curtain keeps working with only cleaning and strip renewal.
Sliding rails. Where big loads come through, the curtain can slide or swing out of the way.
Hook-on strips. Worn strips lift off and new ones hook on in seconds.
Traffic passes freely. People, trolleys and forklifts push straight through the overlapping strips.
Specialist grades. Anti-insect, anti-static and weld-screen strips for specific areas.

Examples of work we can quote for

Replacing scratched, cloudy strips on a forklift route so drivers and pedestrians can see each other clearly.
Adding a swing-away rail so a strip curtain can be moved clear for long or oversized loads.
Supplying polar-grade strips for a freezer doorway where standard PVC stiffens and cracks in the cold.

Traffic route rules that apply in Chester-le-Street

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.

Access, phasing and timing

Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.
