Partition Wall Strip Curtains

What Problems Do Partition Wall Strip Curtains Solve?

Large industrial buildings can be expensive to heat, difficult to manage and challenging to keep clean.

Partition Wall Strip Curtains allow businesses to divide larger spaces into more efficient zones without sacrificing accessibility.

They help solve:

• Excessive heating costs in large buildings
• Heat loss from oversized workspaces
• Poor temperature control
• Dust transfer between work areas
• Noise travelling throughout facilities
• Separating clean and dirty operations
• Creating dedicated work cells
• Segregating manufacturing and storage areas
• Managing pedestrian and vehicle routes
• Maintaining workflow whilst creating separation

The result is a more organised, energy-efficient and productive workspace.

Why Choose Redwood Partition Wall Strip Curtains?

Heavy-Duty Swivel Hinge Rail System

Our Swivel Hinge curtain rails are designed specifically for demanding industrial environments.

Unique to Redwood, we believe they are among the toughest PVC curtain hanging systems available in the UK.

The robust construction helps reduce accidental damage and can significantly reduce maintenance and repair costs over the lifetime of the curtain compared to lighter-duty systems.

Each rail is manufactured to suit your opening width and supplied fully assembled ready for installation.

Important: Rails are not self-supporting and must be fitted to a structurally suitable surface across the full opening span.

High-Strength Bolted Strip Fixing

Unlike lighter-duty hanging systems, the PVC strips are securely bolted into wrap-around galvanised swivel hinges using supplied M8 nuts and bolts.

This creates an extremely robust curtain system capable of coping with:

• Forklift traffic
• Pallet trucks
• Large equipment movement
• Heavy industrial environments
• Frequent daily use

Why Use PVC Partition Curtains Instead of Permanent Walls?

Many businesses need separation without losing flexibility.

PVC partition curtains offer several advantages over fixed partitions:

For many facilities, PVC partition curtains deliver the benefits of segregation without the cost, planning requirements or disruption of constructing permanent walls.

About the Partition Wall PVC

Standard Clear Industrial PVC

Our standard clear PVC remains the most popular strip curtain material across industry due to its versatility, durability and excellent visibility.

Benefits include:

• Outstanding optical clarity
• Excellent light transmission
• High flexibility
• High impact resistance
• Effective noise reduction
• UV protection
• Long service life
• Competitive operating costs

The clear material allows staff, vehicles and equipment to move safely between areas whilst maintaining visibility across the workspace.

Stock lengths can easily be trimmed to suit bespoke installations if required.

Installation Guide

Rail Mounting Options

Partition Wall Strip Curtains can be installed using:

• R1 Face-Fix Brackets
• R2 Soffit-Fix Brackets
• R3 90° Stand-Off Brackets

Installation Process

1. Measure the required partition span and height.
2. Secure mounting brackets to a suitable structural surface.
3. Install the fully assembled rail.
4. Hang the prepared PVC strips into the swivel hinge system.
5. Secure strips using the supplied M8 nuts and bolts.
6. Check overlap alignment and operation.

Important Installation Notes

• Mounting fixings are not supplied.
• Fixings must be appropriate for the installation surface.
• Rails must be installed onto a structurally suitable supporting surface.
• Rails are not designed to be self-supporting.

Hanging Tip

PVC strips are supplied rolled for transportation.

When first installed, some upward curl may be visible at the bottom of the strips. This is normal and will gradually relax over time.

For best results:

• Unroll strips and leave flat overnight before installation.
• Reverse roll if required.
• Apply gentle heat to accelerate flattening.

Longevity & Maintenance

PVC strip curtains are considered a consumable product and lifespan will vary depending on operating conditions, traffic levels and environmental exposure.

For maximum service life, we recommend installation internally or in sheltered locations wherever possible.

Curtains exposed directly to weather conditions may experience accelerated wear and reduced clarity over time.

Many customers achieve years of reliable service, whilst heavily trafficked installations may require more frequent strip replacement.

The robust Swivel Hinge system helps minimise damage and reduces long-term maintenance costs.
