PVC strip curtains in Accrington

In short

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

Town: Accrington
Postcode district: BB5
Area: Lancashire
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Ribbed strips. Ribs protect the clear face of each strip from scratches on busy vehicle routes.
No power. No motors, sensors or controls, so almost nothing to go wrong.
Polar grade. Low-temperature PVC that stays flexible in chillers and freezers.
Hook-on strips. Replace a single damaged strip without taking the whole curtain down.
Specialist grades. Anti-insect, anti-static and weld-screen strips for specific areas.

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.
Adding a swing-away rail so a strip curtain can be moved clear for long or oversized loads.
Replacing scratched, cloudy strips on a forklift route so drivers and pedestrians can see each other clearly.

Traffic route rules that apply in Accrington

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.

Keeping your site running during the work

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.

PVC strip curtains in Accrington: your questions

Which strip curtain grade suits our Accrington 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 Accrington?

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 Accrington 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.
