WALK IN COOLERS
PVC strip curtains are designed to withstand all kinds of rough usage. They’re transparent to improve visibility and safety standards by allowing workers to see what’s on the other side and move from one area to another on foot or while operating heavy machinery seamlessly. Since they’re used on a daily basis, that means they frequently come in contact with various crew members and material handling equipment and will eventually get scratched. Scratches, marks, and nicks add up over time and make it difficult to see through to the other side, which can pose safety risks for workers. It’s important to replace severely scratched PVC strip curtains immediately to prevent injuries and maximize optimal workflow.
PVC strip curtains are made out of a very thick and durable thermoplastic material, so they’re virtually indestructible. But that doesn’t mean they can’t sustain certain damages over time. Repetitive impact and contact with sharp objects over time can eventually cause chunks of PVC strip curtains to break off. The good news is that this rarely happens. The bad news is that it means you’ll have to replace the damaged strips to restore the durability and functionality of the curtain.
Cracks are also a rare occurrence for PVC strips, but not entirely unlikely. Plastic tends to harden in colder climates. This rigidity coupled with constant rough usage and the impact of heavy machinery hitting against the strips can damage the PVC over time, causing it to crack. It’s important to replace the damaged portions or the entire curtain before the damages get worse.
The whole point of installing PVC curtains to divide sections of your warehouse instead of metal or wood doors is because they’re lightweight, easy to maneuver through, and transparent. A cloudy appearance completely negates the transparency of PVC curtains and increases the risk of safety hazards in the workplace. Usually, dirt and smudges that cloud the appearance of PVC curtains can be cleaned off. But sometimes, the damage is so severe that the curtains may need to be replaced altogether.
PVC strip curtains can lose their flexibility over time, especially in colder climates. As their rigidity increases, so does the potential for damages. At this point, you may want to consider replacing your existing PVC strip curtains with new ones.
