What do strip curtains do?

Regulate Temperature

Strip curtains for freezers and coolers are essential for any commercial food storage to keep perishable items at the right temperature, so they stay fresh. Temperature control is also crucial to the livestock industry. If you have ever seen plastic strip curtain doors on barns, their purpose is to keep animals warm in the winter and cool in the summer while allowing them to wander in and out as they please. Not only will your food (and animals) stay at the right temperature, but you will also save on your monthly electricity bill. Who doesn’t want that?

Reduce Noise

In many large factories, loud noises are constantly occurring every day. Many times, companies will use plastic strip curtains to reduce noise throughout different departments in their factory. After all, no one working in sales needs the clamor of machines all day.

Isolate Dust and Debris

Depending on the type of business you own, you may want to utilize plastic strip curtain kits to keep dust and debris contained in one area of your warehouse. A high-quality plastic strip curtain kit is essential for warehouses or businesses that manufacture their products.

Lower Energy Costs

Whether you are operating your business in extremely hot or frigid temperatures, a high-quality PVC Vinyl Strip Curtain Kit can save you from breaking the bank during these seasons.

Low Temp Strip Curtain Kits are crucial to energy cost savings in the foodservice industry. Strip curtains keep cold air from leaving walk-in refrigerators or freezers that employees walk in and out of throughout the day.

You may want to keep different areas of your business set to varying temperatures with extra heating or cooling where employees or specific machinery might be. Strip curtains can be used in combination with doors to aid in keeping separate departments at the right temperature. You may even choose to install a Plastic Strip Curtain door for easier access to other departments.

Create Separate Sections of Your Business

Strip Curtain Kits are a simple and cost-efficient method of creating different departments in your workplace without putting up physical walls and doors. Strip Curtains offer separation and privacy for certain areas while also making it easy to move between departments to transport large equipment through these areas.
