Freezer PVC Strip Curtains (Hook-On)
Freezer PVC strip curtains are an efficient and cost-effective solution for maintaining sub-zero temperatures in walk-in freezers while ensuring full visibility and easy access. These curtains are designed to retain cold air within the freezer, helping to reduce energy consumption. Additionally, they serve as a barrier against dust, flying pests, and other contaminants, making them ideal for environments where hygiene and temperature control are paramount.
Key Features:
-
Hook-On Rails: The curtains are supported by durable 430-grade stainless steel rails, known for their excellent resistance to corrosion and their suitability for areas where cleanliness and appearance are crucial. The hook-on design is a classic strip curtain rail format, allowing for easy installation and removal. The PVC strips are equipped with metal plate sets that hook onto the rail, providing convenience and ease of use. In the event of a strip being accidentally pulled off, the simple hook-on mechanism allows for quick reattachment.
-
Easy Installation: The rails can be fitted either to the face or soffit/underside of the opening using the pre-drilled M6 fixing holes. It's important to note that these rails are not self-supporting and must be mounted onto a structurally secure surface across the entire span of the opening. This ensures the stability and longevity of the installation.
-
Polargrade PVC: The PVC strips are made from Polargrade PVC, a specialised material that remains flexible and durable even at sub-zero temperatures. This makes it ideal for use in freezer environments, where traditional PVC can become brittle and less effective. The Polargrade PVC also offers excellent transparency, allowing light to pass through with minimal distortion, which is crucial for maintaining visibility within the freezer.
-
Versatility and Customisation: The PVC strips are supplied in standard lengths but can be easily trimmed to fit bespoke sizes, ensuring a perfect fit for any doorway or opening. With a recommended overlap of 200mm (36%), these curtains are suitable for doorways up to 2500mm in height, providing effective coverage and insulation.
-
Durability and Maintenance: The PVC strips are highly flexible and impact-resistant, making them suitable for high-traffic areas where personnel and trolleys frequently pass through. They also act as an effective noise barrier. However, it is important to note that PVC strip curtains are considered consumable products, and their lifespan will vary depending on usage, traffic, and environmental conditions. To extend their working life, it is recommended that the curtains be installed behind doors or within sheltered areas, protecting them from direct exposure to the elements.
-
Temperature Range: The curtains are designed to operate effectively in temperatures ranging from 0°C to -24°C, making them suitable for a variety of freezer applications.
-
Certification and Safety: The Polargrade PVC used in these curtains is DOP-free and complies fully with REACH regulations, ensuring that the material is safe for use in environments where food and other sensitive products are stored.
Additional Considerations:
When first hung, the PVC strips may exhibit slight curling at the base due to being rolled up during shipping. This curl will naturally straighten out over time, particularly in warmer conditions. To speed up the process, you can unroll the strips and leave them to flatten out overnight before installation. Alternatively, applying gentle heat or reverse rolling the strips can also help.
Conclusion:
Freezer PVC strip curtains with hook-on rails offer a reliable and energy-efficient solution for maintaining the cold chain in walk-in freezers. Their durable construction, easy installation, and customisable fit make them a versatile choice for any commercial or industrial setting. By effectively sealing in cold air and keeping out contaminants, these curtains help ensure the safety and quality of your stored products while reducing energy costs.

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.
