What Problems Does This System 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

How to Choose the Right System

Choose this system if:

• Bird control is a primary requirement
• Forklifts or vehicles pass frequently
• Strip failure risk is high in your current setup
• Hygiene audits are critical (food-grade environments)
• You need long-life heavy-duty PVC strip curtain systems

Not ideal if:

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