Foodsafe PVC Strip Curtains (Hook-on): Efficient, Durable, and Energy-Saving Solutions for Freezers
When it comes to maintaining optimal conditions in walk-in freezers, Foodsafe PVC strip curtains offer a practical and cost-effective solution. Designed for high-performance in sub-zero environments, these curtains provide an efficient means to conserve energy, ensuring that the cold air stays within while allowing for easy access and visibility.
Versatile and Practical Design
The Foodsafe PVC strip curtains are crafted with Polar grade PVC, a material specifically engineered to remain flexible and resilient at extremely low temperatures. This unique formulation includes extra plasticizer to prevent the PVC from becoming brittle and stiff, a common issue in traditional materials. As a result, these curtains maintain their functionality and ease of use, even in harsh freezer conditions. However, in warmer environments, the added plasticizer may cause the PVC to feel slightly sticky, which can affect passage.
Features and Benefits
- Energy Efficiency: By creating a barrier that retains cold air, these curtains help in reducing energy consumption, making them an economical choice for maintaining freezer temperatures.
- Enhanced Visibility: The clear Polar grade PVC ensures excellent see-through qualities, allowing for unobstructed views through the curtain, which is essential for easy navigation and safety.
- Durability and Impact Resistance: With high-impact resistance and a design that minimizes noise, these curtains are built to withstand frequent use while providing a reliable barrier against dust and pests.
- Flexible and Customizable: Supplied in stock lengths, the PVC strips can be trimmed to fit specific sizes, making them adaptable to various freezer dimensions and configurations.
Rail System and Installation
The curtains come with a Hook-on rail system made from 430-grade stainless steel, known for its durability and clean appearance. This classic strip curtain rail format features metal plate sets that hook onto the rail, offering a simple and convenient installation process. The rails can be fitted face or soffit/underside using pre-drilled M6 fixing holes, though fixings are not included and should be supplied by the installer. It's crucial that the rails are mounted on a structurally supportive surface to ensure stability across the entire opening span.
Maintenance and Longevity
While the PVC strip curtains are considered a consumable product, their longevity depends on usage and environmental conditions. For optimal performance, it is recommended to install them in sheltered areas to avoid direct exposure to harsh weather conditions. In more protected environments, the curtains can last for many years, though some users may need to replace them annually based on their specific usage and conditions.
Key Details:
- Kit Contents: Includes rails to span your width, pre-cut PVC strips ready to hang, and fitting instructions.
- Temperature Range: Suitable for temperatures from 0°C to -24°C.
- Certification: DOP free and compliant with all REACH regulations.
Installation Tip: When first hung, the rolled-up strips may exhibit slight curling at the base. This residual curl will naturally flatten out over time, though it may take longer in colder conditions. For quicker results, unroll and leave the strips to flatten overnight, or try reverse rolling them or applying gentle heat.
Conclusion
Foodsafe PVC strip curtains are an excellent choice for maintaining efficiency and safety in walk-in freezers. Their robust design, combined with the easy-to-install Hook-on rail system, ensures they provide a practical solution for energy conservation, visibility, and protection against environmental elements.

Longevity: PVC strip is considered a consumable product. How fast it’s consumed is beyond any manufacturer’s or supplier’s control. Its lifespan will be dictated by where it’s used, what type of traffic might move through it and how carefully (or aggressively) such traffic does so. To help maximize its working life, we always recommend that PVC curtains are fitted internally behind doors or openings that can provide a degree of shelter. If they’re fitted outside of a doorway or building, fully exposed to the elements all day and night, they can deteriorate and/or lose clarity more quickly. The rate of this will depend entirely on the severity of the local weather. We have some customers who replace their PVC annually… others who’ve had the same for many, many years.
NOTE: All dimensions nominal. Subject to original manufacturer’s standard tolerances.
