PVC strip curtains are a simple yet highly effective solution for controlling temperature, airflow, noise and contamination across a wide range of industrial and commercial environments. Commonly used in warehouses, factories, loading bays, cold stores and workshops, they create a flexible barrier between spaces while still allowing light, visibility and uninterrupted foot or vehicle traffic.
Our range of Copely PVC strip curtains are supplied ready to hang by the strip, with each strip fitted with a stainless steel hanging plate for fast installation and easy replacement. For first-time installations, we also supply compatible stainless steel hanging rails, providing a complete suspension system for mounting the curtains securely. If a suitable rail is already in place, the strips can be installed directly, meaning a new rail is not required.
This flexible approach makes our PVC strip curtain systems ideal for both new installations and straightforward replacements, helping to keep downtime, waste and costs to a minimum.
Why Choose Ready-to-Hang PVC Strip Curtains?
Quick Installation
Ready-to-hang PVC strips are supplied pre-assembled with hanging plates, allowing them to be installed quickly with minimal tools. Strips can be trimmed on site to achieve the correct floor clearance and overlap
Easy Maintenance
Because strips are supplied individually, damaged or worn strips can be replaced without dismantling the full curtain. This keeps downtime and maintenance costs to a minimum
Cost-Effective & Energy Saving
PVC strip curtains reduce heat loss and air exchange, helping to lower heating and cooling costs. Ordering by the strip also reduces waste and avoids unnecessary replacement costs
Thermal Insulation
PVC strips act as an insulating barrier, helping to maintain internal temperatures in areas such as warehouse doorways, loading bays and cold storage rooms
Sound Reduction
PVC naturally absorbs and dampens sound, helping to reduce noise transfer between work areas and improve overall working conditions
UV Stabilised
All strips are UV stabilised to protect against sunlight degradation, ensuring long-term durability in both internal and external doorways

Where Are PVC Strip Curtains Used?
PVC strip curtains are suitable for a wide range of applications, including:
Warehouses and loading bays
Factories and production areas
Cold stores, walk-in fridges and freezers
Workshops and fabrication bays
Welding areas
Food processing and storage areas
Industrial doorways and high-traffic zones
Their transparency improves visibility and safety, while their durability makes them suitable for harsh industrial environments.
Installation & Maintenance Overview
PVC strip curtains are quick to install and require minimal maintenance:
Measure the doorway and install the hanging rail securely
Hang strips individually, allowing appropriate overlap (typically 30%)
Trim strips to floor level for optimal sealing
Allow time for curled strips to straighten naturally
Cleaning is simple - occasional wiping with warm water keeps strips clear and hygienic. When a strip becomes damaged, it can be replaced individually without removing the full curtain.
