PVC strip curtains in Motherwell

Quick answer

Strip curtains are the simplest way to part-close a busy opening in Motherwell (ML1). Hook-on strips make wear easy to deal with, ribbed strips cope with forklifts, and polar grades keep working in freezers.

Options that matter on site

Sliding rails. Sliding or swing-away rails move the curtain clear for oversized loads.
Ribbed strips. Ribs protect the clear face of each strip from scratches on busy vehicle routes.
Hook-on strips. Replace a single damaged strip without taking the whole curtain down.
Specialist grades. Tinted strips for insect control or welding bays, and anti-static grades where needed.
Polar grade. Freezer-grade strips stay soft and pliable instead of stiffening in the cold.

Jobs we can carry out

Hanging a polar-grade strip curtain behind a cold store door to reduce the cold air lost during loading.
Adding a swing-away rail so a strip curtain can be moved clear for long or oversized loads.
Fitting anti-insect strips to the rear door of a bakery or food unit to deter flying insects.

Traffic route rules that apply in Motherwell

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.

Access, phasing and timing

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.

Your questions about PVC strip curtains

How quickly can strip curtains be fitted in Motherwell?

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.

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