What we fit in Preston

Ribbed strips. Ribs protect the clear face of each strip from scratches on busy vehicle routes.
No power. With no electrics involved, the curtain keeps working with only cleaning and strip renewal.
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.
Hook-on strips. Replace a single damaged strip without taking the whole curtain down.

What this work can involve

Adding a swing-away rail so a strip curtain can be moved clear for long or oversized loads.
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.

Traffic route rules that apply in Preston

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

For busy sites in Lancashire 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.

Yes. We supply replacement strips cut to the right length for your existing rail, matched to the grade and width already fitted, and can fit them or leave them for your team.

Which strip curtain grade suits our Preston 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.
