Heavy Duty Bird Control Strip Curtains

Heavy Duty Bird Control Strip Curtains for Warehouses, Food Production & Industrial Buildings

Birds entering warehouses, factories and food production facilities can quickly become a hygiene risk, damage stock and equipment, and create costly compliance issues. Our Heavy Duty Bird Control Strip Curtains provide an effective physical barrier that helps prevent birds from entering buildings while still allowing unrestricted access for forklifts, pallet trucks, delivery vehicles and personnel.

Unlike lightweight bird proof strip curtains, these systems are built around our exclusive heavy-duty Swivel Hinge hanging system, making them ideal for busy industrial environments where standard strip curtains often fail. Manufactured using robust galvanised steel components and premium 400mm x 4mm clear PVC strips, they are designed to withstand constant impact, frequent vehicle traffic and demanding daily use.

These industrial bird control curtains are widely installed on loading bays, warehouse entrances, distribution centres, food manufacturing facilities, agricultural buildings and commercial premises where keeping birds out is essential for maintaining cleanliness, protecting products and meeting hygiene standards. As well as acting as an effective bird exclusion barrier, the PVC strips also help reduce heat loss, minimise draughts, limit dust ingress and improve overall working conditions.

Every curtain is manufactured to your required dimensions and supplied ready to install with fully assembled Swivel Hinge rails, pre-punched PVC strips and all necessary hanging hardware. Whether you're looking for a warehouse bird control curtain, loading bay bird barrier, food factory bird exclusion system or a heavy-duty industrial PVC strip curtain, Redwood's robust systems are engineered to deliver long-lasting performance in the toughest commercial environments.

What Problems Do Heavy Duty Bird Control Strip Curtains Solve?

This system is designed specifically for high-pressure industrial environments where birds become a hygiene and contamination issue.

What it fixes:

• Bird ingress into food production areas
• Contamination risk in open loading bays
• Loss of hygiene compliance (audits & inspections)
• Damage caused by forklifts hitting weaker curtain systems
• Frequent strip replacement from low-grade systems
• Heat loss and airflow disruption in open doorways

This is not a light-duty curtain — it is a heavy-duty industrial PVC strip curtain system engineered for abuse.

Best Use Cases for Heavy Duty Bird Control Strip Curtains

Ideal for environments where hygiene control, airflow management, and bird exclusion are critical:

• Food manufacturing entrances
• Commercial kitchens & prep areas
• Warehouses with open loading bays
• Cold storage and chilled environments (0°C to +40°C range)
• Distribution centres with constant forklift traffic
• Internal factory partitioning
• External doorways requiring bird control barriers

Hanging System Comparison

Why choose swivel-hinge systems?
Because they outperform standard hook-on or light industrial PVC strip systems in impact resistance, strip retention strength, and long-term durability.

Installation Guide

How it installs:

1. Measure and prepare structural mounting surface
2. Fix galvanised swivel-hinge rail (face or soffit mounted)
3. Select bracket type: R1, R2, or R3
4. Hang pre-punched PVC strip sets onto hinges
5. Bolt strips into position using supplied M8 nuts & bolts
6. Adjust overlap alignment if required

Key installation notes:

• Rails are not self-supporting
• Must be fixed to a structural surface
• Mounting fixings are NOT included (installer supplied)
• Rails arrive fully assembled and ready to hang

Typical install time:

• 1–3 hours depending on span size

Not ideal if:

• You only need light pedestrian separation
• You want ultra-fast DIY installation with minimal hardware
