Perforated PVC Strip Curtains (Hook-On)
For an effective solution to maintain ventilation while keeping pests and debris at bay, the Perforated PVC Strip Curtains are an excellent choice. These high-quality curtains are designed for use in pedestrian doorways and openings, combining functionality with durability to enhance any working environment.
Key Features
The Perforated PVC Strip Curtains are ideal for areas that require airflow while preventing the entry of birds, leaves, and larger insects. The curtain’s unique design features narrow vertical slots throughout the clear PVC material, allowing fresh air to pass through easily while blocking unwanted pests and debris. This makes them perfect for environments where heat or fumes need to be released but where a barrier against larger particles is still necessary.
Hook-On Design: These curtains come with a hook-on rail system made from 430-grade stainless steel. This classic rail format ensures a clean and professional appearance while offering robust performance. The stainless steel rails are particularly well-suited for environments where both aesthetics and hygiene are important. The metal plates on the PVC strips hook onto the rails effortlessly, making installation and removal straightforward.
PVC Material: The PVC used in these curtains is highly flexible and impact-resistant, designed to withstand regular use. It also includes anti-UV filters to help protect against the harmful effects of sunlight, extending the lifespan of the curtains. The perforated design not only aids in ventilation but also maintains clear visibility, ensuring minimal distortion of light while still providing an effective barrier.
Installation and Maintenance
The hook-on rails can be face or soffit/underside fitted using pre-drilled M6 fixing holes. Fixings are not included and should be chosen by the installer based on the fitting surface. It is crucial that the rails are mounted onto a structurally supportive surface across the full span of the opening, as they are not self-supporting.
When installing the PVC strips, they are supplied rolled-up, which may cause a slight curl at the base. This curl will naturally fall out over time, although it may take longer in colder conditions. For best results, unroll and flatten the strips overnight before hanging. If this is not possible, try reverse rolling the strips or applying gentle heat to help reduce curling.
Performance Specifications
The Perforated PVC Strip Curtains are designed to operate efficiently within a temperature range of 0°C to +40°C. Their flexible and durable nature makes them suitable for a variety of environments, including industrial and commercial settings. The strips can be trimmed to custom sizes to fit specific openings, providing a tailored solution for your ventilation needs.
Longevity and Maintenance
As a consumable product, the lifespan of PVC strip curtains can vary depending on usage and environmental conditions. To maximise their working life, it is recommended to install them internally, behind doors or openings that offer some protection from the elements. Exposure to harsh weather conditions can accelerate deterioration and reduce clarity. Many customers find that their PVC strips need replacement annually, though some have used them for many years with proper care.
Conclusion
The Perforated PVC Strip Curtains offer an effective balance of ventilation and protection for pedestrian doorways and openings. With their durable PVC material, high-quality stainless steel rails, and easy-to-install hook-on system, these curtains are well-suited for a range of applications. Whether you need to control airflow while keeping out pests or simply want a reliable and flexible screening solution, these perforated strip curtains provide both functionality and longevity.

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 maximise 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.
