The short version
Losing heat or chilled air through a door left open all day at your Musselburgh site? A PVC strip curtain lets people and vehicles pass freely while cutting draughts, dust, noise and insects.

What we fit in Musselburgh
- Specialist grades. Anti-insect, anti-static and weld-screen strips for specific areas.
- Sliding rails. Sliding or swing-away rails move the curtain clear for oversized loads.
- Polar grade. Low-temperature PVC that stays flexible in chillers and freezers.
- No power. No motors, sensors or controls, so almost nothing to go wrong.
- Traffic passes freely. Nothing to open or close: traffic simply pushes through and the strips drop back.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Fitting anti-insect strips to the rear door of a bakery or food unit to deter flying insects.
- Fitting ribbed PVC strip curtains inside loading bay doors so the doors can stay open between deliveries.
- Supplying polar-grade strips for a freezer doorway where standard PVC stiffens and cracks in the cold.
Traffic route rules that apply in Musselburgh
Strip curtains sit on workplace traffic routes, so in Scotland 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.
Planning the work around your site
For busy sites in Edinburgh and the Lothians the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.
