Perforated PVC Strip By The Metre

Perforated PVC Strip By The Metre

Perforated PVC strip is designed for environments where ventilation is just as important as separation. Manufactured from clear flexible PVC, each 200mm wide strip features a series of precision-cut vertical slots that allow air to flow freely through the curtain whilst still providing a barrier against larger flying insects, birds and airborne debris.

Unlike standard solid PVC strip, perforated PVC helps release heat, steam, humidity and fumes, making it particularly effective in commercial kitchens, food preparation areas, workshops and other environments where natural airflow is required.

Sold by the metre and cut to your required length, this product gives you complete flexibility when manufacturing new strip curtains, replacing damaged strips or creating bespoke ventilation barriers. It is compatible with virtually all recognised strip curtain hanging systems including Hook-On, QuickMount and other industry-standard rails.

The clear PVC maintains excellent visibility and allows natural light to pass through, helping create brighter working environments without sacrificing airflow.

What Problems Does Perforated PVC Solve?

Perforated PVC is designed for situations where standard strip curtains restrict airflow too much.

It helps solve:

• Heat build-up in enclosed work areas
• Steam accumulation in food preparation environments
• Poor ventilation in kitchens and workshops
• Fume retention in production areas
• Insect ingress whilst allowing fresh air to circulate
• Condensation caused by inadequate airflow

It provides an excellent balance between ventilation and environmental separation.

Best Applications for Perforated PVC

Perforated PVC strip is commonly used for:

• Commercial kitchens
• Food preparation and catering facilities
• Bakeries
• Workshops
• Agricultural buildings
• Packing areas
• Light industrial units
• Ventilated internal doorways
• Bespoke strip curtain manufacture

When Should You Choose Perforated PVC?

Choose perforated PVC when you need:

• Better airflow through doorways
• Heat and steam to escape naturally
• Ventilation without leaving openings exposed
• Protection from birds, leaves and larger flying insects
• A lightweight strip curtain for pedestrian access

If maximum temperature control or insulation is the priority, standard clear PVC or Polar Grade PVC will usually be a better choice.
