Options for PVC strip curtains in Shirley

Ribbed strips. Ribs protect the clear face of each strip from scratches on busy vehicle routes.
Sliding rails. Where big loads come through, the curtain can slide or swing out of the way.
Traffic passes freely. People, trolleys and forklifts push straight through the overlapping strips.
No power. With no electrics involved, the curtain keeps working with only cleaning and strip renewal.
Specialist grades. Tinted strips for insect control or welding bays, and anti-static grades where needed.

Typical scopes of work

Hanging a polar-grade strip curtain behind a cold store door to reduce the cold air lost during loading.
Fitting anti-insect strips to the rear door of a bakery or food unit to deter flying insects.
Replacing scratched, cloudy strips on a forklift route so drivers and pedestrians can see each other clearly.

Keeping strip curtains safe in England

The business running the site in Shirley must keep traffic routes safe and equipment maintained under the Workplace Regulations 1992. For strip curtains that means clear, undamaged strips that let drivers and pedestrians see each other, and a separate pedestrian route where traffic is heavy.

How the work is organised

Most installations in Shirley can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Questions from businesses in Shirley

How often should strip curtains in Shirley be replaced?

It depends on traffic. Pedestrian doorways can go years between changes; busy forklift routes need new strips sooner. Replace any strip that is torn, cloudy or badly scratched so visibility stays good.

How quickly can strip curtains be fitted in Shirley?

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.

Which strip curtain grade suits our Shirley 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.
