Robust Waste Centre Strip Curtains with Swivel Hinges
Transform Your Refuse & Recycling Area with Superior Protection
Elevate your waste and recycling management with our heavy-duty refuse centre strip curtains, designed specifically for high-traffic and challenging environments. These curtains are perfect for maintaining cleanliness and controlling dust, smells, and flying debris in refuse and recycling centres. With their sturdy construction, these curtains not only enhance site hygiene but also ensure quick and easy access for waste disposal.
Unmatched Strength and Durability
Our refuse centre strip curtains feature a robust design, including heavy-duty galvanised steel swivel hinge rails and prepped 400mm x 4mm standard clear PVC strips. The swivel hinge system ensures maximum strength by securely bolting the PVC strips onto the rail, providing an exceptionally durable solution for controlling waste and debris.
Why Choose Our Strip Curtains?
-
Heavy-Duty Construction: The swivel hinge curtain rails are specifically engineered for heavy-duty use. Unique to Redwood, these are among the toughest curtain rail systems available in the UK. Their resilient design minimises the risk of damage and significantly reduces repair costs over time.
-
Customisable Fit: Our rails are made to order and can span any width required. They come fully assembled, ready to be fitted. Note that the rails are not self-supporting and must be installed on a structurally sound surface that spans the entire opening.
-
Easy Installation: Depending on your needs, the rails can be face or soffit mounted using the appropriate brackets. PVC strips, pre-punched with hanging holes, slot into the swivel hinges and are secured with supplied M8 nuts and bolts. Please note, fixings for attaching the mounting brackets to the fitting surface are not included and must be provided by the installer.
-
Superior PVC Quality: The standard clear PVC used in our curtains offers excellent transparency, allowing maximum light penetration and minimal distortion. It is highly flexible, impact-resistant, and an effective noise barrier. Additionally, the PVC is treated with anti-UV filters to shield against the harmful effects of sunlight, ensuring longevity and sustained performance.
-
Versatile Application: Designed to cover full spans or customised with access cutouts, these curtains adapt to various opening sizes and configurations. This flexibility makes them ideal for diverse environments where quick access and weather protection are crucial.
Installation and Maintenance Tips
-
Unrolling the Strips: Strips are supplied rolled-up, which may cause slight curling at the base when first hung. This curl will naturally flatten out over time, although it may take longer in colder conditions. To expedite this process, unroll the strips before hanging or apply gentle heat.
-
Temperature Range: The curtains are suitable for environments with temperatures ranging from 0°C to +40°C.
-
Longevity: PVC strips are consumable and their lifespan depends on usage, traffic, and exposure to the elements. For optimal performance, it’s recommended to install the curtains in sheltered areas. Regular replacement may be necessary depending on environmental conditions and usage intensity.

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.
