PVC strip curtains in Forres

Quick answer

Strip curtains are the simplest way to part-close a busy opening in Forres (IV36). Hook-on strips make wear easy to deal with, ribbed strips cope with forklifts, and polar grades keep working in freezers.

Town: Forres
Postcode district: IV36
Area: Highlands and Islands
Survey: By arrangement

Options that matter on site

Draught control. A curtain across the opening holds back draughts and helps keep temperatures steady.
Polar grade. Low-temperature PVC that stays flexible in chillers and freezers.
Ribbed strips. Raised ribs take forklift and pallet abrasion, keeping strips clearer for longer.
No power. No motors, sensors or controls, so almost nothing to go wrong.
Sliding rails. Sliding or swing-away rails move the curtain clear for oversized loads.

Examples of work we can quote for

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.
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 Forres

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.

How the work is organised

For busy sites in the Highlands and Islands 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.

Your questions about PVC strip curtains

Is a strip curtain or a high-speed door better for our Forres 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 Forres 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 Forres?

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.
