PVC strip curtains in Fort William

Quick answer

Town: Fort William
Postcode district: PH33
Area: Highlands and Islands
Survey: By arrangement

What to specify

Traffic passes freely. People, trolleys and forklifts push straight through the overlapping strips.
Draught control. A curtain across the opening holds back draughts and helps keep temperatures steady.
Ribbed strips. Raised ribs take forklift and pallet abrasion, keeping strips clearer for longer.
Sliding rails. Where big loads come through, the curtain can slide or swing out of the way.
Specialist grades. Anti-insect, anti-static and weld-screen strips for specific areas.

Typical scopes of work

Installing weld-screen strip curtains around welding bays in a fabrication workshop to protect nearby staff.
Supplying replacement strips cut to length for existing hook-on rails across several doorways in one visit.
Adding a swing-away rail so a strip curtain can be moved clear for long or oversized loads.

Traffic route rules that apply in Fort William

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 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.

Frequently asked questions

Which strip curtain grade suits our Fort William 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.

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

How quickly can strip curtains be fitted in Fort William?

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.
