PVC Curtain

Description

A PVC curtain is a hanging screen of overlapping flexible plastic strips that fits across a doorway or opening. It keeps conditioned air, dust, insects and noise on one side while people, trolleys and forklifts pass through without stopping to open a door.

We Shutter supplies PVC strip curtains to factories, warehouses, cold rooms, central kitchens and retail back-of-house areas throughout Malaysia. Strips are available in several grades and thicknesses, cut to your exact opening and supplied with stainless steel or galvanised hanging rails. Our team measures, fabricates and installs, so the curtain seals properly from the first day.

PVC curtains are one of the lowest-cost ways to cut energy loss at a busy doorway, and they pair well with our high speed roller shutters and motorised roller shutters where a hard barrier is needed after hours.

Types of PVC Curtain We Supply

Figures below are typical industry specs; adjust to match your actual stock before publishing.

Type Best for Working temperature Typical thickness Notes
Clear (standard) PVC strip Warehouses, factories, loading bays, shop back doors −10 °C to +50 °C 2 mm / 3 mm Transparent for visibility and light; most economical
Cold room / freezer grade Chillers, freezers, cold storage, food processing −40 °C to +20 °C 2 mm / 3 mm Stays flexible in freezing conditions; does not crack
Anti-static PVC strip Electronics assembly, cleanrooms, paint shops −10 °C to +50 °C 2 mm / 3 mm Dissipates static; reduces dust attraction
Anti-insect (yellow/amber) Central kitchens, F&B, pharmaceutical packing −10 °C to +50 °C 2 mm Amber tint deters flying insects
Coloured / opaque PVC strip Welding bays, privacy screens, visual zoning −10 °C to +50 °C 2 mm / 3 mm Red, blue, green, orange; welding grade blocks UV glare
Ribbed heavy-duty strip High-traffic forklift doorways −10 °C to +50 °C 3 mm / 4 mm Ribs protect the surface from scratches and keep clarity longer

Standard strip widths

200 mm and 300 mm are the most common. 400 mm strips suit very wide or tall openings. Overlap is typically 30–50 % for a tight seal, or minimal overlap for easier forklift passage.

Hanging hardware

  • Stainless steel or galvanised hook-on rail (strips can be replaced individually)
  • Sliding rail option so the whole curtain can be pushed aside
  • Hooded or recessed mounting to suit the lintel
  • Replacement strips and hooks available from our accessories range

Custom fabrication

Every curtain is cut to your opening height and width. Send us the opening size, or book a site measurement, and we will specify strip width, overlap and rail type for your traffic and temperature conditions.

Where PVC Curtains Are Used in Malaysia

Warehouses and logistics hubs. Loading bay doors stay open all day. A strip curtain keeps the inside cooler, cuts dust from the yard and lets forklifts drive straight through.

Food processing and central kitchens. Separates raw and cooked zones, blocks flies and keeps chilled prep areas cold. Easy to wipe down to meet hygiene audits.

Cold rooms and freezers. Freezer-grade strips reduce cold-air spill every time the main door opens, lowering compressor run time and frost build-up.

Manufacturing and assembly. Zones a factory floor without walls, contains spray or weld glare, and reduces noise travelling between sections.

Retail and supermarkets. Used at stockroom doors and chiller entrances to keep the sales floor comfortable and the back room tidy.

Air-conditioned shops and workshops. A cheap way to stop cooled air escaping through a doorway that is used constantly.

FAQs About PVC Curtains

How thick should my PVC curtain be?

2 mm strips suit pedestrian doorways and light trolley traffic. 3 mm is the usual choice for forklift doorways. 4 mm ribbed strips are for very heavy traffic or large openings.

What width of strip should I choose?

200 mm strips are common for pedestrian and light traffic. 300 mm or 400 mm strips give a better seal on wide or tall openings and resist wind better.

Can PVC curtains be used for cold rooms and freezers?

Yes, but use freezer-grade (low-temperature) PVC. Standard PVC goes stiff and may crack below about −10 °C; freezer grade stays flexible down to around −40 °C.

Can I cut PVC strips to size myself?

Yes, strips can be trimmed with a sharp utility knife. We normally cut to your exact opening height before delivery so no trimming is needed.

How long does a PVC curtain last?

Typically 3 to 5 years, depending on traffic, sunlight exposure and cleaning. Worn strips can be replaced individually without changing the rail.

Will a PVC curtain stop insects?

It greatly reduces insect entry when strips overlap properly. For kitchens and food areas, anti-insect amber strips add extra deterrence.
