Why Use Standard Clear Flexible PVC?

Standard Clear flexible PVC has a variety of uses but is most commonly used as PVC strip curtains or PVC swing doors, acting as a thermal insulating barrier in doorways, while still allowing pedestrian traffic, forklift traffic or industrial vehicles to pass through freely. It is also used in rapid high-speed doors as a vision panel (window).

In warehouses or factories especially, this enables free traffic flow without compromising insulation or sealing.

Common applications

Strip Curtains or Partitions
Manufacturing facilities
Food processing plants
Medical facilities
Supermarkets/Retail
Warehousing and distribution

Flexible PVC Helps Save You Money and Energy

Recognised as one of the premier thermal insulating plastics available, flexible PVC offers a cost-effective solution for insulating warehouses or factories.

Its inherent waterproof and air-tight properties further enhance its thermal insulation capabilities, preventing the intrusion of cold and wet weather through doorways.

The low thermal conductivity of flexible vinyl translates to substantial thermal energy savings, contributing to reduced energy bills while ensuring a comfortable environment for employees.

Opting for flexible PVC as a means of insulating doorways is a straightforward decision, given its cost-effectiveness, ease of installation, simple maintenance, and high replaceability in the event of damage.

Constant Insulation

PVC strip curtains or PVC swing doors are frequently employed in doorways to enhance insulation and protect buildings from the elements. Serving as an effective barrier, these installations help retain warmth within the structure.

Their operational flexibility allows for easy opening and closing, facilitating smooth traffic flow without the need for operators to dismount from forklifts to manually open warehouse doors. Additionally, these doors automatically close after passage, mitigating the risk of inadvertent oversight in leaving doorways open.

This feature ensures airtight insulation while simultaneously accommodating a seamless and unrestricted flow of traffic.

Sound Insulating Properties

Flexible PVC has sound insulating properties, able to reduce sound transmission.

This reduces the amount of noise heard on the other side of the PVC, drastically reducing the sound pollution in the area. The PVC material behaves like a soft viscoelastic mass that can absorb sound waves and dissipates its energy on contact with the PVC. This property of the PVC lets it absorb a wide range of sound frequencies, especially low frequency sound waves, better than other materials.

This reduces the noise produced in loud areas, such as factories, keeping workers and any neighbouring businesses happy.

An average reduction of over -30 dB, which is equivalent to wearing mufflers
1 to 5 mm of thickness is enough to get a -30 dB reduction in sound

Special formats

Ribbed PVC

Ribbed PVC has all the same properties as standard PVC except for the fact that it has small profiles (ribs)that prevent the curtain from sticking together.

The ribs also slightly reinforce the PVC making it a bit stronger and able to take more abuse than the standard PVC.

They still have all the qualities of the standard PVC, having excellent clarity, durability and flexibility.

Reinforced PVC Sheet

Reinforced PVC sheet is reinforced with a fibre mesh, to heavily reinforce the PVC and make it highly resistant to damage.

This lightweight but strong sheeting is extremely durable and able to withstand even the worst abuse. Although it is extremely durable due to the fiber mesh found inside it, it still allows light to pass through the PVC.

Reinforced PVC sheet has a variety of uses, a few of which include builders' dust sheeting, temporary window repairs, garden cloches or temporary windows when carrying out building work.
