PVC strip curtains in Middleton

At a glance

Strip curtains are the simplest way to part-close a busy opening in Middleton (M24). Hook-on strips make wear easy to deal with, ribbed strips cope with forklifts, and polar grades keep working in freezers.

Town: Middleton
Postcode district: M24
Area: Greater Manchester
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Traffic passes freely. People, trolleys and forklifts push straight through the overlapping strips.
Polar grade. Freezer-grade strips stay soft and pliable instead of stiffening in the cold.
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.
Specialist grades. Anti-insect, anti-static and weld-screen strips for specific areas.

What this work can involve

Fitting anti-insect strips to the rear door of a bakery or food unit to deter flying insects.
Hanging a polar-grade strip curtain behind a cold store door to reduce the cold air lost during loading.
Replacing scratched, cloudy strips on a forklift route so drivers and pedestrians can see each other clearly.

Traffic route rules that apply in Middleton

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

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Questions from businesses in Middleton

Is a strip curtain or a high-speed door better for our Middleton 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.

Which strip curtain grade suits our Middleton 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 Middleton?

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.
