Options for PVC strip curtains in Darlington

Sliding rails. Where big loads come through, the curtain can slide or swing out of the way.
Ribbed strips. Ribs protect the clear face of each strip from scratches on busy vehicle routes.
Traffic passes freely. Nothing to open or close: traffic simply pushes through and the strips drop back.
Draught control. Strips cut the loss of heated or chilled air through busy openings.
No power. No motors, sensors or controls, so almost nothing to go wrong.

Jobs we can carry out

Installing weld-screen strip curtains around welding bays in a fabrication workshop to protect nearby staff.
Fitting ribbed PVC strip curtains inside loading bay doors so the doors can stay open between deliveries.
Hanging a polar-grade strip curtain behind a cold store door to reduce the cold air lost during loading.

Traffic route rules that apply in Darlington

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.

Your questions about PVC strip curtains

Which strip curtain grade suits our Darlington 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 quickly can strip curtains be fitted in Darlington?

Once strips are cut to length, fitting usually takes an hour or two per doorway, so several openings can often be completed in one visit with very little disruption to your operations.

Do strip curtains work in cold stores around County Durham?

Yes, with polar-grade PVC that stays flexible at low temperatures. We fit strip curtains inside cold store and freezer doors across County Durham to cut the cold air lost while doors are open.
