Heavy Duty Loading Bay Strip Curtains (Swivel Hinge) - R1 Face Fit
When it comes to maintaining an efficient and secure industrial environment, our heavy-duty loading bay strip curtains with R1 face fit swivel hinges offer the perfect solution. These curtains are designed to withstand the demands of busy loading docks, providing a reliable barrier against the elements while allowing easy access for delivery vehicles and forklifts.
Robust Swivel Hinge Rail System
The standout feature of our loading bay strip curtains is the swivel hinge rail system, a unique innovation by Redwood that’s recognised as one of the UK’s toughest curtain rail systems. Built for heavy-duty use, these galvanised steel rails are designed to reduce the risk of damage, ensuring a long-lasting and cost-effective solution. The robust construction means fewer repairs and replacements over time, making it a smart investment for any industrial setting. Each rail is custom-made to fit your specific span and comes fully assembled, ready for quick installation.
Flexible and Secure Installation
Our R1 face fit option allows for secure attachment of the rail directly to the face of a wall or support beam. This installation method is ideal for spaces where a sturdy and straightforward mounting solution is required. Once the rail is in place, the PVC strips, which are pre-punched with precise hanging holes, are easily slotted into the swivel hinges. These strips are then bolted securely using the provided M8 nuts and bolts, ensuring they stay firmly in place even in high-traffic areas.
High-Quality PVC Strips for Maximum Visibility
The PVC strips used in these curtains are 400mm wide and 4mm thick, offering excellent durability and impact resistance. Their clarity ensures that light passes through with minimal distortion, providing a clear line of sight while still acting as an effective barrier. The strips are highly flexible, allowing for easy passage of vehicles and personnel without compromising on protection. They can also be trimmed to fit bespoke sizes, ensuring a perfect fit for any loading bay or doorway.
Energy Efficiency and Environmental Protection
These heavy-duty strip curtains are not just about durability—they’re also an excellent way to improve energy efficiency within your workspace. By helping to maintain internal temperatures, they reduce the need for additional heating or cooling, leading to lower energy costs. Moreover, they act as a barrier against dust, debris, and pests, keeping your environment clean and safe.
Built to Last with Quality Materials
Crafted from high-grade galvanised steel, the swivel hinges and rails are designed to withstand the toughest conditions. The PVC strips are sourced from reputable UK manufacturers and are treated with anti-UV filters to protect against sunlight, further enhancing their longevity. All materials used comply with REACH regulations and are DOP free, ensuring they meet the highest standards of safety and quality.
Customisation and Maintenance
We understand that every industrial setting has unique requirements, which is why our loading bay strip curtains are fully customisable. Whether you need specific rail lengths or different strip dimensions, we can tailor our products to meet your needs. Additionally, the PVC strips are designed for easy replacement, allowing you to maintain the efficiency and appearance of your curtains over time.
To maximise the lifespan of these curtains, it’s recommended that they be installed internally behind doors or other protective barriers. When exposed to harsh weather conditions, the PVC may deteriorate more quickly, but with proper care and installation, these curtains can serve you well for many years.
In conclusion, our heavy-duty loading bay strip curtains with R1 face fit swivel hinges offer a robust, reliable, and energy-efficient solution for any industrial environment. Designed for easy installation and built to last, these curtains will help keep your workspace safe, clean, and efficient, making them an invaluable addition to your operation.

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.
